Protesting and riots continue as we have been reporting on for the last couple hours in Louisville, KY ever since the city found out that the charges rioters wanted were not doled out by a Louisville grand jury over the shooting death of Breonna Taylor that involved Louisville Police.
It appears there is at least somewhat of a ‘push and pull’ between violent vandals and those who just want to protest, but unfortunately for the latter, they will often get lumped in with the former.
The most recent clip from riot thread poster @BGOnTheScene shows some rioters vandalizing a restaurant as they march through town, while at least one screams ‘NO, DON’T VANDALIZE!” It’s hard to see who’s yelling for sure, but sadly the folks tearing up the tables and chairs in the clip don’t appear to care. See the video clip below:

Although we hope for peace and hope for the best possible outcome for tonight’s riots, often these things get worse as darkness sets in. Time will tell if that is the case in Kentucky tonight, or if law enforcement will briskly put a stop to it. Stay tuned for updates.
