#2 BLM - Breonna Taylor

This week in the second episode of our Black Lives Matter series we're focusing on the series of failures and biased assumptions that lead the death of Breonna Taylor, a Medical Technician in Louisville, Kentucky. Breonna was unarmed and spending an evening with her long-term partner Kenneth, when she was shot and killed by Louisville Police in her own home.
