PROTESTS ERUPT AS COPS WHO KILLED BREONNA TAYLOR GO SCOT-FREE

Protests erupted around the nation after news broke out that none of the three officers involved in Breonna Taylor's death will be charged with her killing, CNN reported.

However, a grand jury indicted a former police officer on wanton endangerment charges for his actions the night the 26-year-old was killed in Louisville, Kentucky. The charge applies to the risk put on Taylor's neighbors during the police raid on her home but does not hold the officer responsible for her death.

The decision drew swift criticism from demonstrators who wanted more serious charges and the three officers arrested. A community activist said there was "a lot of sadness and weeping" as Taylor's mother learned the news. Dylan Lovan, Piper Hudspeth Blackburn and John Minchillo reported for the Associated Press (AP) that shortly before curfew, two Louisville police officers were shot near a protest. Their wounds were not life-threatening, and a suspect is in custody.

Hundreds of demonstrators chanted Taylor’s name and marched in New York, Portland, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Las Vegas. Kentucky’s Black attorney general, Daniel Cameron, choked up when explaining why a grand jury didn't seek criminal charges against police officers for Taylor’s death — but his sympathetic words fell on many deaf ears.
