Protesters March in Manhattan Following Breonna Taylor Decision

Protests broke out across the US on September 23 following a grand jury’s vote to indict one of three cops involved in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky, earlier this year. Hundreds of people marched through downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday night, joining protesters in Louisville, New York, Washington, Portland, Seattle, and elsewhere. Former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment. Two other officers who discharged their weapons during the botched raid on Taylor’s apartment were not charged.
