9:17Now PlayingYodit Tewolde talks to Tezlyn Figaro, political commentator and BNC contributor, on Pamela Turner's death. The family hosted a rally on the second anniversary of her death.
Black female victims of police violence often do not get the media attention as Black men. Today's rally called for justice for Black women who are killed by police.
"People can't even keep up at this point. There are so many different names. So many different stories," Figaro says. "It's important that we have balance to talk about the issue as a collective. I am seeing people trying to adjudicate which case is more important than the other."
