Kadiatou Diallo, the mother of Amadou Diallo remains frustrated that police brutality is still taking innocent, unarmed Black lives. In an interview with CNN on Monday, Diallo shared her honest revelations on the lack of progress: “I have met all these victims, comforted those mothers, but however, what is going on here is like many years ago.
