Per AP, the news of the termination was revealed as the department revealed who they had chosen to lead the department, Erika Shields.

“I commit to begin my work here with a focus on rebuilding community trust, trust that I believe was already eroding prior to Breonna Taylor’s killing,” Shields said. “The last year has shown that we in law enforcement have a long way to go.”

Breonna’s mom, Tamika Palmer spoke on the firings,

“I believe you live by the sword you die by the sword. It wasn’t her sword and I refuse to let people believe that that was her sword and that was the way she went out.”
