Before Minnesota, Kentucky. As the city of Minneapolis has experienced daily riots and looting since the death of George Floyd on May 26, the anger of Lousville residents has increased.
On March 13, an African-American girl was killed in this Kentucky town, at her home, by police. While she and her boyfriend were sleeping, the security forces broke down their doors. After several rounds of fire, 26-year-old Breonna Taylor was killed by eight bullets.
This violence and destruction is absolutely unacceptable. It besmirches any claim to honor Breonna Taylor's memory. Just this morning, Breonna's family called for peaceful and safe protest. 2/2

The police were, in fact, looking for a suspect ... Already incarcerated. A blunder that cost the young woman's life. Lousville Mayor Greg Fisher said everything was being done "to get the truth out of this matter."
In the meantime, several demonstrators gathered in the center of the city on May 29, and one person was seriously injured by gunshots.
