<\/div>\n

Alicia Keys<\/a> appears in a new video campaign that calls for the officers involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor<\/a> to be fired and arrested.<\/p>\n

Launched by the group Until Freedom, the campaign is centered around a question Keys asks at the start of the video: \u201cDo you know what happened to Breonna Taylor?\u201d<\/p>\n

After that, Taylor\u2019s mother, Tamika Palmer, recounts the story of how the Louisville Metro Police Department used a no-knock warrant to enter Taylor\u2019s apartment unannounced, allegedly believing the occupants were tied to an ongoing drug case. After the police entered the apartment, Taylor\u2019s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired one shot with his registered handgun, believing introducers had just barged in. In turn, the police fired approximately 20 shots, eight of which hit Taylor.<\/p>\n

\u201cBri was murdered by the Louisville Metro Police Department,\u201d Palmer says. \u201cAnd after they killed her they asked me if she had any enemies. No. Absolutely not\u2026 Breonna should not be dead. Somedays I feel like I can\u2019t breathe without her. This should never happen to another family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video closes with Until Freedom\u2019s Tamika Mallory detailing what people, both inside and outside of Louisville, can do to demand justice for Taylor. She encourages people to call Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer (at 502-574-2003) to demand he fire the three officers that killed Taylor; call Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron (at 502-696-5300) to demand the three officers be charged; and call interim LMPD Police Chief Robert Schroeder (at 502-574-7111) to demand the investigation into Taylor\u2019s death be completed immediately and the details shared with lawyers for Taylor\u2019s family and the Attorney General. Mallory also urged Louisville residents specifically to call their city council members <\/span>and demand they vote to ban no-knock warrants at an upcoming vote.<\/p>\n
