In a New York Times piece, "Breonna Taylor's Life Was Changing.
Then the Police Came to Her Door," correspondent Rukmini Callimachi
uncovers details about the story of Breonna Taylor, the young woman
in Kentucky who was killed by police during a drug raid on her home
earlier this year. Drawing from various interviews, documents and
recordings, Callimachi weaves together how an ex-boyfriend’s
run-ins with the law and police mishandling of the raid ultimately
led to Taylor’s tragic death just as her life was changing for the
better. Only one of the three officers involved in the fatal
shooting of Taylor has been fired and none have been arrested even
as calls for "Justice for Breonna Taylor" continue in the streets
and on social media. Callimachi joins us to shed more light on the
life and death of Breonna Taylor.
