On the ground in Louisville, Ky. for @townhallcom and the protesting crowd just heard the charges the grand jury announced for the Breonna Taylor case. They are not happy at all, some people are crying.
The protesting BLM crowd is now marching through the streets of Louisville. They have chanted, “No lives matter till black lives matter!”
As the BLM crowd chanted, “If we didn’t get it, burn it down!” they have marched outside the barricaded zone in Louisville and have shut down traffic in an intersection.
While the BLM crowd was marching in Louisville, a U Haul truck pulled up with shields and supplies for the group to use.
Tense scene as the BLM crowd marched though the streets while passing by Louisville police cars and officers.
One person shouted at Louisville police, “All y’all get ready to fucking die!”
The BLM crowd was marching in the street until they were stopped by Louisville police in riot gear. The police moved in and rioters started to fight with the police and arrests have been made.

So I was just sent this. I’m blocked by this guy because it’s not true. I have not given my public opinion on the shootings in Kenosha (you can tell since he doesn’t provide evidence). In interviews about the shootings, I have only stated what I saw.
