Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear signed a bill into law limiting the use of no-knock warrants on Friday, just over a year after the police killing of Breonna Taylor that sparked calls for change in Louisville and beyond.
The 26-year-old EMT was fatally shot in March 2020 during a botched police raid on her home, and her name has since become a rallying cry at protests demanding police reform and racial justice. State Sen. Reggie Thomas, who co-sponsored the bill, described it at the signing ceremony as a step in the right direction. We were asked repeatedly to say her name; I think we heard her name, Thomas said of Taylor. I hope with the signing of this legislation today that there will be no other names, ever, here in Kentucky, that we ll have to say or hear again.
