Simon & Schuster won’t distribute book by cop involved in Breonna Taylor shooting

Simon & Schuster said it will not distribute an upcoming book by one of the Louisville cops that was involved in the May 2020 raid that left Breonna Taylor dead.

The about-face, reported by the New York Times, comes after calls to boycott the distributor if it didn’t cut ties with the publisher that inked a book deal with Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, 48. Mattingly is penning “The Fight For Truth: The Inside Story Behind the Breonna Taylor Tragedy,” for Tennessee-based Post Hill Press, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
