BREAKING: Louisville reaches multimillion-dollar settlement with the family of Breonna Taylor, sources tell ABC News. The settlement includes a police reform package, sources say.

From Eric Garner to George Floyd, how cellphone video and social media have shined a light on police brutality.

Taylor and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, were sleeping inside their Louisville apartment on March 13 when officers with the Louisville Metro Police Department attempted to execute a"no-knock" search warrant. Three plainclothes officers opened Taylor's front door and"blindly" opened fire into their apartment, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed in April by Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer.

Breonna Taylor, 26, was shot and killed by Louisville, Kentucky, police officers after they allegedly executed a search warrant of the wrong home.

crappy parent cashes in

Think of all the KFC she can get now!!

TheView Thank you the view for exposing these things. Once in a while ignorant men criticize of you it angers me but then I think oh at least they’re watching it maybe they’ll learn something

Breonna Taylor was a criminal and gang banger. Let's not forget she wasn't innocent. Also, her boyfriend used her as a human shield. NotAMartyr

Wow! Living with a drug dealer and getting caught in the crossfire as a result of his criminal activity is sure lucrative!

When you sell dope you gotta expect the worse.

We must extract our pound of flesh; eh Mordecai?

Her daughters’ criminal activity led to her death. Is this mother still ignoring these facts? I would be embarrassed to ask for cops to be arrested for shooting after getting shot at. Please hold your daughter accountable mam. Tragic what happened, but facts are facts.

With all due respect, her drug dealing boyfriend killed her. Breonna’s being with him endangered her life.

SweetExoticAng1 The officers should be charged.

Thug life sometimes results in death

You idiots realize they had a warrant announced who they were, the drug dealer boyfriend started shooting , upon taking fire the cops shot back as he shielded himself with his girlfriend. Tragic, but no one sees that go on in the hood and says anything about it

Broke and robbed within days

Do you know that the police killed 28,000 people in 20 years in the USA?

TheView it pays to be a criminal in america

Tamika, Breonna, Shanisha etc...why the negros always have names that don't even EXIST

The money does not bring back her daughter, nor does it ease the pain of the loss of a loved one. It’s a damn shame that they are willing to offer a payout before charging the officers responsible for why a payout is even being made. ChargeTheMurderers

Tamika,I am so sorry for your great loss. 😢

So first the criminal city officials insulted and smeared her and now they're using taxpayers' money to let the killers cops get away.

Lock those white supremacist terrorists bastards up JusticeForBreonnaTaylor breonataylor

The LARGEST settlement in HISTORY 4 a Black Women being killed by the police. Thank You Mayor O’Connor working w/the Attorney and other city officials. BREONNA’S LAW. Significant changes in Louisville, KY per Ben Crump. Daniel Cameron 👂🏼

Now her family should donate the majority of that money to help their community w/mental health service, counseling & small businesses in their community. That would show that they truly care about their community & that her death was not in vain.That’s how they can really help

racismisavirus blacklivesmatter Liberty Justice Equality for all !!! BreonnaTaylor innercityblues musicvideo Check out 'Mi Sybella' smoothjazz video: LIKE/FOLLOW/Subscribe: Facebook - Reallaroyanthony

So basically the police are going to get a payout for murdering a Blk woman, naked in her sleep, in cold blood. The fact that these race soldiers won't get punished and will also recieve money for that con game of 'pOliCE rEFoRm' is truly demonic.

Oh, goodie. When does the rioting start?

This family doesn’t care about justice. They got what they were after...$$$

ABC News once again did not give all the facts out about the story. For the facts.See Jason Whitlock at outkick and his fearless program

What a disgrace. All the $ will go 2 drugs & cars 2 deliver them.

Question to anyone reading this, what sum of money would be enough for you to be OK with no one being punished for killing your daughter, sister, mother, or wife? (Not saying her family IS ok, but I am trying to see something)

Sad. Involved officers should be treat like any other citizen would be. They need to be charge, taken to court & let the jurors decide. A true police reform is needed. They have not problem paying to the family because this is tax payers money 🤷🏻‍♀️

minamaya13 I hope the settlement includes the Louisville PD being responsible for rehabilitating Ms Taylor’s character, which they also assassinated, after murdering her. They need to make a public disclosure admitting that the police report, which characterized her as a criminal was WRONG!

sanzscript I'm glad and they deserve it. Now what about their murderers? This is not justice.

Ok but have the cops been arrested yet

Yep she lived with a drug dealer and knew it, took a chance with her life and the family gets paid. No accountability. No wonder majority of black people act the way they do, now white kids are learning the same responsibility. NONE. Not saying all blacks, you know already.

This is bs NO AMOUNT OF MONEY IS WORTH HUMAN LIFE PERIOD Those MFS bouta skate Scott free in front of us.

Sad. No justice, but here's some cash.

That’s nice. But when will the Coos that killed her be charged with Murder.

Not arrest the officers and charge them with her murder

So.. justice has been served. Now, can things get back to normal please?

Good. It’s the very least that poor girl deserves

Just amazing!!!

No amount of money could ever replace the lost life .

Arrest the cops. There needs to be a real deterrent to police violence.

And in addition to this, the cops need to be held accountable!

I'd love to see the racial breakdown of lawsuits for dead relatives. Blacks just want to get paid...even if it costs them their loved ones. Truth hurts. It's the culture.

Ghetto lottery

What about the shoot em up bang bang......................

They probably paid the family off to not bring charges to those officers.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. DEFEAT CRIMINAL AND FASCIST REPUBLICONS. RE-IMPEACH CORRUPT trump & republicons FOR OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. CON REPUBLICONS KNEW ABOUT CORONA VIRUS FOR YEARS,BUT CUT VACCINIES, CDC, WHO, ACA, SOCIAL SECURITY. DEFEAT CRIMINAL & CORRUPT REPUBLICONS

They paid the money so they wouldn’t have to reveal just how high up the order came from that sent those officers there in the first place. This is hush money, but that’s the American way.

That's nice & all but the cops need to be prosecuted still!

Yet the cops involved in her shooting are still walking and living life freely. Looks like they would go all out to cover one of their own instead of holding them accountable, which is why we distrust the police. Please don’t let Breonna’s life and her tragic death be in vain.

I want to see the bodycam footage

Based on the responses to the story I’m convinced stupidity is born into people because you can’t really be come this stupid unless it’s a trait from birth.

Are the cops who murdered her being arrested?

Her murder could have been avoided, if the racist police officers and Amerikkka justice system did their job

The family didn't deserve a dime!!! She KNEW what was going on and contributed to it!!!!

Everyone saying the officers should be charged please tell me what crime they committed? They had a no knock warrant. They entered with the information they were given. They were ago at and returned fire. I’ll agree on getting rid of no knock warrants.

Settlement for murder?

those murderous cops should still be arrested and charged with their crimes.

capitalism always slapping money on everything

They defunded themselves!! Idiots!!

What about her murderers?

Live as a drug dealer, die as a martyr It's good to be a progressive supremacist

Wow they’re willing to spend millions of dollars rather than prosecute these cops justwow

It somehow is easier for these people to pay out millions than it is to charge and convict the murderous cops. Why? It's so fkd up. I'm glad her family got a leg up, but still. It'll never stop as long as they know they can get away w it.

She deserves JUSTICE. ARREST THE PIGS WHO MURDERED HER!

How you settle this soon... 🤔 Don’t get paid to be a puppet... “ Please stop the protest, Breonna would’ve wanted peace “... Will be on the news soon from the family... 🤔 Same tactics, let’s see if they still work on the people not getting paid 😕

did the guilty policemen lose their jobs, lose their pensions?

Shakedown

Again we see someone’s life lost due to police who weren’t held accountable, all while the tax payers have to pay for their fuck up

Unfortunately, settlements like this I just read means the officers are admitting no wrongdoing, if you take the settlement.

The killers still need to be convicted and sentenced!

'No charges have been filed against the officers.' So it's not really settled then.

Police reform. Police can’t shoot back when they are being shot at. 🙄

They got their payday.

Do people realize that this is why your taxes are high? Who do you think pays the multi million $$ settlement ?

Nothing will bring Breonna back. It would be great if the loss of her life lead to true police reform that made us all safer.

Why don’t they arrest the killercops?

Money won’t bring her back as much as money helps in many ways it will never heal the pain left in here families heart. JusticeForBreonnaTaylor

US law enforcement to officers: 'Murder at will, but don't get caught....Its expensive. '

Why aren't they just arresting the cops?

Now arrest the thugs that murdered her

The lawyer is going to take one third of the settlement.
