The mother of Breonna Taylor, whose daughter was accidentally shot dead by police in her own Kentucky apartment last year, has branded the Black Lives Matter movement a fraud.

'I have never personally dealt with BLM Louisville and personally have found them to be fraud, Attica Scott another fraud,' Tamika Palmer wrote in a Facebook post earlier this week.

Her criticism comes amid a backlash against the national co-founder of BLM after it was revealed she owns a multi million property empire.

'I have never personally dealt with BLM Louisville and personally have found them to be fraud, Attica Scott another fraud,' Palmer wrote.

She also criticized people who raised money on behalf of her daughter's family without actually knowing either her or Taylor.

'I could walk in a room full of people who claim to be here for Breonna's family who don't even know who I am, I've watched y'all raise money on behalf of Breonna's family who has never done a thing for us nor have we needed it or asked so talk about fraud,' Palmer said.

'It's amazing how many people have lost focus ... I'm a say this before I go, I'm so sick of some of y'all and I was last anybody who needs it,' she added.

The officers involved in Taylor's death, Detective Joshua Jaynes and Myles Cosgrove have not been charged in her death. Both were fired from the Louisville Police Department.

On the night of the incident, Louisville police officers executing a search warrant used a battering ram to enter the apartment where Taylor was inside with her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker.

Police were investigating two men they believed were selling drugs out of a house not far from Taylor's home. A judge signed a warrant allowing a search because police said they believed one of the men had used the apartment to receive packages.

Walker later told the police he feared the loud banging at the door was Taylor's ex-boyfriend trying to break in. After the police knocked the door off its hinges, Walker fired his gun once, striking Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly in the thigh. The police responded by firing several shots, striking Taylor five times.

Taylor received no medical attention for more than 20 minutes after she was struck, The Courier-Journal of Louisville reported, citing dispatch logs.

Last month, Palmer struck a more gracious tone over Black Lives Matter.

Speaking to NBC, Palmer said she was 'eternally grateful' for the Black Lives Matter protesters who had kept Taylor's memory alive and demanded justice in her name.

'There's so many people who never even met her,' Palmer tearfully began, 'but they learned of her and they came to stand for her because what happened to her wasn't right – I can never say thank you enough.'

But Palmer's recent criticism of Black Lives Matter comes days after the group's co-founder Patrisse Cullors faced criticism over her $3 million empire of four homes.

Cullors responded by saying it was 'categorically untrue' and 'incredibly dangerous' to suggest she may have used any of the organization's funds to buy her homes.

The 37-year-old, who set up BLM with Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi back in 2013, broke down in tears as she revealed she has 'spent the last week with security' after her homes were first pictured in the media.

She also tried to deflect criticism from some on the left who have questioned whether her ownership of four homes contradicts her ideology as a 'trained Marxist' as she said she has invested in the properties to provide for her family and sees her wealth 'as my family's money, as well.'

Her explanation comes after it emerged she has accrued four homes worth a combined total of around $3 million in recent years, sparking questions about her source of income.

Black Lives Matter raked in around $90 million in donations last year but does not release a full accounting of its spending. The organization said Cullors has been paid $120,000 since 2013 but has not received any payment since 2019.

Meanwhile, much of the discussion of her homes has been banned on Twitter and Facebook.

Twitter on Monday locked out a black sportswriter who questioned why Cullors was stacking up properties including one in a mostly white neighborhood. Facebook this week also blocked users from sharing a DailyMail.com story that reported on the purchase of the homes.
