The mother of Breonna Taylor, the Louisville woman who was shot and killed during a police raid at her apartment in March 2020, met with Justice Department officials to ask them to charge the officers involved in her daughter’s death.
“I’m here at the Department of Justice asking them to do the right thing,” Tamika Palmer said after the meeting with the Civil Rights Division a day after the two-year anniversary of her daughter’s death. “This is bigger than Breonna. If no one addresses this issue, they’ll keep kicking in our doors and murdering us.”
“For the nation, it’s been two years and one day,” Palmer said. “For me, I’m trapped in March 13, 2020. I don’t know how people think I should just move on.”
