LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Angry, confused and shedding tears, demonstrators who spent months calling for justice in the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor resumed their protests Wednesday after prosecutors announced a single officer had been indicted — but not on charges involving the Black woman's death.
The protests, which rekindled as soon as news of the grand jury's decision broke Wednesday afternoon, appeared to be largely peaceful.
Still, streets in downtown Louisville were cleared of cars and many businesses were boarded up well ahead of the announcement.
As the afternoon wore on, police in protective gear clashed with the growing number of protesters in some areas and used batons to push some of them down.
