Detective Brett Hankison “displayed an extreme indifference to the value of human life” by “wantonly and blindly” firing 10 shots into Taylor’s home on March 13, according to Louisville's acting police chief

“I find your conduct a shock to the conscience,” Schroeder wrote. “I am alarmed and stunned you used deadly force in this fashion.” Hankison’s record is littered with misconduct. In 2016 he ran over and injured another detective and he has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women who say he offered them rides home from bars in his marked car and then aggressively grabbed them. One woman described him as “a predator of the worst kind.
Sam Aguiar, an attorney for Taylor’s family, said “it’s about damn time” Hankison was fired. But he also made it clear that the family wants charges. “If this wasn’t wanton murder and attempted murder, then I don’t know what the hell would be,” he said. “We expect and demand these charges. Lots of explaining to do if they don’t come.”

Sheet-Pan Shrimp Scampi for One Recipe on Food52This weeknight dinner for one is inspired by an incredible garlic shrimp I had at a Chinese restaurant in Hawaii. When roasted at high heat in a quarter sheet pan like this, marinated shrimp cooks up gorgeously and begins to caramelize in its own juices, creating a sauce that's made even saucier thanks to a last-minute pat of butter and spritz of lemon juice. Though the usual scampi players are present (garlic, lemon, and red pepper flakes), I went with mirin instead of white wine and soy sauce instead of salt, lending it some of that Waikiki palate. I anticipate that many will wish to skip the optional pinch of sugar, but I implore you not to; for me, anyway, this dish didn't fully come together until that one pinch. But to each their own: That is the point of cooking for yourself, isn't it? You can tailor a recipe to your predilections. As for my predilections, I like to eat this straight out of the pan with a bowl of white rice and an ice-cold beer, just as I had it in Hawaii.
