At the start of 2020, Louisville, Kentucky resident Christopher McKinney headed out with a group of friends for what was supposed to be a night of drinks and fun. Christopher would never make it home to his husband, though. He was struck by a bouncer and died shortly after, but no charges were brought and very little investigating was done by a police force that had many off-duty officers working at the very bar Christopher was killed.
