Breonna Taylor protests: Louisville police tell marchers to use sidewalks then call unlawful assembly when that doesn’t happen

CNN — Protesters demanding justice for Breonna Taylor walked in the streets of Louisville for a third night, their march briefly interrupted then turned around by lines of police. Taylor’s mother, Tamika Palmer, and aunt, Bianca Austin, joined the beginning of the evening’s protest, which comes two days after a grand jury didn’t charge three Louisville police officers with Taylor’s killing. But angry because our Black women keep dying at the hands of police officers.” Protests erupted in Louisville and across the country after Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced Wednesday that a grand jury did not charge three officers directly with Taylor’s death, more than six months after police shot her in her home while executing a search warrant. “Breonna Taylor’s entire family is heartbroken … and confused and bewildered, just like all of us, as to what did Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron present to the grand jury,” Crump said at Louisville’s Jefferson Square Park.
