Everything you need to know about the Breonna Taylor case

The horrifying video of George Floyd being killed by a Minneapolis police officer in May sparked massive Black Lives Matter protests in America and around the world, including here in Australia. But another death that actually happened before that of Floyd’s, the police shooting of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor, continues to fuel BLM protests.

Who was Breonna Taylor? How has her death impacted the BLM movement? And why did the Louisville City Council pay her family a US$12m settlement last week? To answer these questions we speak to Michael Trautmann, investigative journalist with Kentucky’s Courier Journal paper to tell you what you need to know about this case.
