B Taylor murder video shown at restaurant

Diners at a Kentucky restaurant were outraged to see and hear what they believe was video footage showing the killing of Breonna Taylor at an event featuring John Mattingly, one of the officers involved in the 2020 raid, according to the local NAACP chapter and witnesses.

Patrons weren’t informed that a GOP women’s club was hosting the event at a Greek restaurant in Bowling Green on Tuesday evening and may have been exposed to graphic depictions of the raid that led to Taylor’s death, the Bowling Green-Warren County Branch of the NAACP said.

Cayce Johnson tells CNN when she first walked into the restaurant she could see and hear the event upstairs, hosted by the Republican Women’s Club of South Central Kentucky.

“They had a sound system. It was being broadcast throughout the whole restaurant,” she said. “We could hear every word. And when the lady introduced John Mattingly, my jaw dropped.”

Mattingly was the first officer to enter Taylor’s apartment on March 13, 2020, after Louisville police executing a search warrant used a battering ram to break the door down.
 
'Trauma torture on our dime': Unsuspecting customers at a Kentucky restaurant said they felt 'helpless' after a GOP event played the graphic footage from the raid that killed Breonna Taylor


A Kentucky GOP women's group hosted a dinner featuring Jonathan Mattingly — one of the officers involved in killing 26-year-old Breonna Taylor — as a speaker and played the footage of the raid that led to her death during the event.

The event, which was hosted by the Republican Women's Club of South Central Kentucky on Jan. 17 at the upstairs area of Anna's Greek Restaurant in Bowling Green, drew complaints from other diners casually eating at the restaurant who heard graphic audio and gunshots as they ate their meals.

One diner, Cayce Johnson, told Insider in a phone interview it was "trauma torture on our dime."


Johnson said the lights were lowered as she was eating when Mattingly, a former Louisville Metro Police Department Sergeant, was introduced one floor above while dozens of guests unrelated to the event dined below. Mattingly, who used a slideshow and a microphone during his presentation, was not criminally charged for his role in the March 2020 raid and has since authored a book about the altercation.

Johnson described the restaurant manager as "extremely dismissive" when she complained and said that people attending the GOP event appeared to be taunting some of the other diners.

She added, "And that's when we started recording and trying to just get out of there before things escalated between us and the people upstairs because they were trying to intimidate us. They were staring and making faces at the people of color in our group and kind of antagonizing them, like 'Do something. Come up here.'"

Jones tells CNN that when her family showed their displeasure at the loud recording, the people attending the event upstairs started to shush them. Some men stared down at them with a “sour look on their faces,” she said. Pictures shown on the restaurant’s website appear to show the upper seating level of the restaurant as a mezzanine, partially visible from the lower level.

“It is beyond reprehensible to subject anyone, let alone children and customers of African American descent, to such indecent exposure, graphic and upsetting images while they were attempting to enjoy their meal.”

The NAACP said the event featuring Mattingly was canceled at its original venue due to its “controversial” nature but went ahead as planned at the Greek restaurant on the same night. The NAACP did not provide further information about the supposed cancellation from what it said was the “original venue.”
