Here’s a look at the march, heading down Main. #Louisville #BreonnaTaylor

There are onlookers wherever the march goes. “Out of the house, into the streets.”

Police are blocking Main.

Flash bangs in #Louisville.

Here’s the scene. Protesters retreated after the flash bangs but have returned to the police line.

One arrest.

Some are exiting on the sidewalk, the way they came in. Some are shouting at police, others are dissuading that.

An unlawful assembly has been announced, FYI.

Unlawful assembly. Threats of arrests and chemical agents.

Protesters have dispersed, and police are heading out now.

Here’s the scene an hour before curfew. Large group of protesters gathered at Sixth and Jefferson.

A march is taking off from the park. Some are staying, but most people are going.

LMPD announces that curfew will be in effect at 9 pm. “Violation of the curfew is an arrestable offense.”

A protester is letting this LMPD officer have it. Some National Guard members look on. The man is upset that the officer asked another protester if he was wearing an airsoft vest.

Protesters are gathered at a nearby church. Unlike last night, there are no police here.

People are speaking outside of the church.

“Nothing to lose but what? Our chains” protesters call out. You can see police lights way in the background, blocking off a perimeter in downtown #Louisville.

Protesters are hanging out and eating here inside the church. #BreonnaTaylor #Louisville

A few golf balls just came down from above, and protesters believe they came from this apartment building. #Louisville

Police have arrived here at the church.

“If you’re not trying to to to jail, stay on the property,” one man said.

A minister and a police officer speak.

Police officer tells me that police came due to reports of golf balls being thrown at protesters, and also to clear the street.

Police have now left.
