Black Lives Matter protesters began mobilizing in the streets after a Louisville police officer was indicted Wednesday for the raid that led to the death of Breonna Taylor in March.
The protesters were gathered in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, to await a grand jury’s verdict of Sgt. Brett Hankison, who was indicted on endangerment charges in the police raid but not charged for any crimes related to Taylor’s death.
The BLM supporters, confused and angry over the mixed verdict, then began to mobilize demonstrations in the streets.

People from the crowd shout at those standing outside their homes but not actively participating in the march.

Violence and destruction of property was already captured on video shortly after the march began.

Once a sizable mob had gathered BLM protesters began to block traffic in the area.

The crowd just exited the blocked off potion of downtown and have taken over an intersection. Cars are being told to turn around.
The charges are a Class D felony in KY. 1-5 year sentence max, I’m told by a lawyer: pic.twitter.com/uW111HaKH6

A U-Haul truck was seen arriving full of makeshift shields and signs that read “Abolish the Police.”

Savages in Louisville had truckloads of makeshift riot shields ready to deploy.
But FBI Director Chris Wray wants you to believe this is merely a disorganized ideology.

More of the Uhaul riot shield transport. May be more efficient than the Black Lives Matter Snack Van, higher capacity & fewer windows at risk of being smashed #Louisville #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/3RX8PNDy1b

The BLM and Antifa types were seen threatening police officers monitoring the demonstrations.

The large crowd — I’d estimate several hundred — are resting at an intersection. They’re regrouping and getting organized. Shields to the front, as we’ve seen before: pic.twitter.com/QX1khyLLnj

More tense moments as police are out all over this road — they’re allowing the crowd to pass. Some people stop and taunt an officer who is inside the vehicle: pic.twitter.com/Od1o4037S9

One BLM/Antifa militant shouted, “All ya’ll get ready to fucking die!”

Despite the fact Hankison was charged, the far-left is still angry and threatening police, signaling that they won’t stop demonstrating/looting/rioting until all police in the country are abolished or defunded.
They’ve even attacked Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (R) despite the fact he authored the “Justice For Breonna Taylor Act”, which prohibits no-knock warrants by law enforcement.
