LOUISVILLE, Ky. Tamika Palmer has been in the same battle for justice in Breonna Taylor s death for the last year.
Palmer said her daughter was killed senselessly by police and in her eyes no one is being held accountable for it.
Facing this reality makes her angry. But Palmer said she will never give up her fight to see the officers criminally charged. It can t end here, Palmer told CNN. I m still out here, I m still doing what I need to do to get justice for Breonna to make sure that people do right by her.
Saturday will mark one year since 26-year-old Taylor was fatally shot during a botched police raid at her apartment. Her death sparked protests across the country and became central to the racial reckoning last summer with demonstrators demanding racial equality and police accountability. It also renewed conversations about police brutality against Black women who activists say are often overlooked and rarely get justice in their cases.
