The rioting charge is a Class D felony, same class as former LMPD officer Brett Hankison's wanton endangerment charges.
Failure to disperse & unlawful assembly are misdemeanors.
Scott’s daughter Ashanti & activist Shameka Parrish-Wright @Seasoned4u from Bail Project also arrested
The arrest of Kentucky lawmaker Attica Scott was also streamed live on Facebook. She was headed for sanctuary at local church.
