Protests Erupt in Louisville After Cops Dodge Charges in Breonna Taylor Killing
Source: Daily Beast
Over a hundred protesters who began in Jefferson Square Park, which has served as the home base for Louisville Black Lives Matter protests over the last 118 days, started to march after Camerons Frankfort press conference, calling for justice for Taylor and chanting No Justice, No Peace and Keep going. Police cars took to trailing the activists, and in The Highlands, a gentrified, residential neighborhood of Louisville, hundreds of protesters, some throwing bottles, faced off with police before 4 p.m.
Police fired a volley of pepper balls, while a man used a wooden bat to try to break a UPS storefront. Protesters were soon spotted sitting on a side parking lot with injuries they said stemmed from the law-enforcement onslaught.
Protesters were effectively boxed in by an aggressive early police presence, before venturing deeper into a residential neighborhood, chants of Say Her Name emanating in call and response.

(6,265 posts)a Confederate state. They want to resurrect the confederacy with trump as Jefferson Davis II. Ms Taylor's murder by killers of the state being released from what was obviously murder is no surprise. These folks are really depending on a contentious and what's becoming clearer and clearer violent transition of power between Nov3rd and Jan. 20. They pray the U.S. becomes JDII@fascisstateundertrump.

(6,265 posts)but I do know with whom their loyalties lay. Not seceding means nothing. Confederate. Period. A majority of white males fought and died for the confederacy. A 'slave state' connotes all needed information.
