Protesters in Louisville Chant ‘We Didn’t Get It, Burn It Down’ Following AG’s Announcement

As previously reported, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron has returned indictments against one police officer in the Breonna Taylor no knock raid death.

Video from Brendan Gutenschwager shows a mob taking to the streets, clearly unhappy that more charges weren’t filed and chanting, “We didn’t get it, burn it down!” He added that “The crowd continues to grow out here in Louisville this afternoon.”

New York Times “race” reporter John Eligon commented on how “the sobs” are “sticking” with him. He said “I’ve covered a lot of these but I don’t remember ever seeing this much hurt, this much crying from protesters.”

The sobs.

That’s what’s sticking with me here in Louisville as I see the reaction to the Breonna Taylor announcement. I’ve covered a lot of these but I don’t remember ever seeing this much hurt, this much crying from protesters.
