I dont know what is happening. Somebody kicked in the door and shot my girlfriend.

Thats part of the audio from a frantic 911 call Kenneth Walker, the boyfriend of Breonna Taylor , made the night three Louisville Metro cops executed a no-knock warrant in relation to a narcotics investigation and entered the couples apartment using a battering ram. Walker, having no idea it was police coming into the home, fired his gun in self-defense. The cops fired back, shooting Taylor at least eight times. Walker can be heard on the 911 call crying out Taylors name as he attempts to explain to the dispatcher what just happened.

Nearly three months later, none of the Louisville cops have been arrested or charged for gunning down the 26-year-old Black woman in her own home.

As thousands of people around the world take to the streets and attend Black Lives Matter protests, it does feel like some small semblance of justice is being served: Four former Minnesota police officers have been charged in the killing of George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man who died after a cop kneeled on his neck during an arrest; two white men who chased down Ahmaud Arbery in a pickup truck and fatally shot the 25-year-old Black man while he was out for a jog have been arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault.

The death of Taylor, an EMT who had dreams of being a nurse, has also sparked national outcry. The cops were apparently trying to carry out a narcotics invsetigation, but the house where the main suspects allegedly sold drugs was more than 10 miles away from Taylors apartment. The Louisville Police Department executed a search warrant at her home, looking for a man who did not live there, according to a lawsuit filed by Taylors family. After the no-knock warrant was completed and Taylor was dead, police acknowledged that the man officers had been searching for was already in custody. The suit, which accuses the Louisville police of wrongful death, excessive force and gross negligence , alleges that the cops fired more than 20 rounds of ammunition at Taylor and Walker.
