Breonna Taylor was a 26-year-old black woman who was an EMT before being brutally murdered by 4 plain clothes policemen who forced entry into her house under a "no-knock" warrant after midnight. The police were looking for a suspect that had been arrested earlier in the day and had accidentally come into the wrong house. Breonna Taylor was completely innocent of wrongdoing and murdered with no accountability.
