The United States city of Louisville, Kentucky, will pay $16 million to the mother of Breonna Taylor and reform police procedures as part of a lawsuit settlement.
Ms Palmer has said she is trying to be patient about the results of Mr Cameron's criminal investigation and the long wait, which is now six months since her daughter's death.In that time, her daughter's slaying - along with George Floyd and others - has become a rallying cry for protesters seeking a reckoning on racial justice and police reform.
High-profile celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, LeBron James and Lewis Hamilton have called for the officers to be charged in Ms Taylor's death.Ms Palmer's lawsuit accused three Louisville police officers of blindly firing into Ms Taylor's apartment the night of the March raid, striking her several times.
Ms Taylor's boyfriend Kenneth Walker was in the apartment with her and fired a single shot that struck an officer in the leg.Mr Walker said he did not hear police announce themselves and said he thought he was guarding against an intruder. The warrant was one of five issued in a wide-ranging investigation of a drug trafficking suspect who was a former boyfriend of Ms Taylor's.AP
That man, Jamarcus Glover, was arrested at a different location about 16km away from Ms Taylor's apartment on the same evening.

This virus 'is costing us more than lives' it's costing 'our trust' | Sky News AustraliaThe coronavirus is costing Australia more than lives and hundreds and thousands of jobs, something else is being lost, particularly in Victoria, which is the trust in government and in the police says Sky News host Andrew Bolt. \n\nHe said it is Victoria 'which sets the standard for brutality'. \n\nMr Bolt said he has seen scenes in Victoria in the past week which “I never thought I'd see here”. \n\n'Things are really changing, there's such a nasty change to the culture coming that I think we'll have to live with this for a long time to come'. \n\nIt comes as footage surfaced of Victorian Police threatening to arrest two elderly women on a park bench, and in another instance, police arresting a pregnant woman in her home during a police raid for her alleged involvement in organising an anti-lockdown rally. \n\nMr Bolt also said there were 'shameful scenes that suggest a police state in Victoria'. \n\n'Police used en masse to enforce a cruel lockdown which many citizens now think is so harsh and unjustified, so irrational that they will risk a $1600 fine to protest against it'. \n\nMr Bolt said there were 'riot police among the fruit and veg' at a recent anti-lockdown rally at the Queen Victoria Market. \n\nImage: Getty
