Two years after the death of Breonna Taylor, the Justice Department announced federal charges against four officers involved in her death. At the time, officers had a no-knock warrant for the young Black woman\\u2019s apartment.


For Taylor\\u2019s mother, Tamika Palmer, the Justice Department investigation represented a step toward justice for her daughter \\u2014 but it was also a reminder of how much further police accountability has to go.


Since this spring, and the release of the \\u201cBroken Doors\\u201d podcast, activists, local government leaders and national law enforcement officials have continued to scrutinize the use of no-knock warrants by police. Today on \\u201cPost Reports,\\u201d investigative reporters and \\u201cBroken Doors\\u201d hosts Nicole Dungca and Jenn Abelson bring us updates from across the country, revisiting fatal no-knock cases and weighing in on what\\u2019s happened in Kentucky since Taylor\\u2019s death.
