Breonna Taylor’s mother: ‘A year later, we’re still asking for the system to do the right thing’

Breonna Taylor’s mother has spoken out to mark the one-year anniversary of her daughter’s killing at the hands of police, saying she’s still “asking the system to do the right thing”.

In an interview with Good Morning Britain, Tamika Palmer discussed upcoming demonstrations over the weekend aimed at demanding “justice” and “accountability” for her daughter’s death.

“I don’t want people to treat this as if we’re celebrating her,” she told ITV, before adding: “Because we’re not, it’s one year later and we’re still asking for the system to do the right thing.”

She said: “I’ve never seen something so black and white be so hard, nobody willing to stand up and do what’s right or be the first person to do the right thing.”
