This comes just hours after a grand jury ruled no Louisville Police officers would be directly charged in the death of #BreonnaTaylor. @8NewsNow #8NN

I’ve zoomed out so you can see the size of the crowd. They stopped along Carson and are now heading back toward Fremont. @8NewsNow #8NN
The group just stopped at 4th & Fremont, blocking the intersection. @LVMPD officers have arrived, there appears to be a standoff as they try to get them to move. @8NewsNow #8NN
The gathering just appeared to have gotten violent, as police get into a scuffle with one man. They tackled him to the ground. Multiple people are also being detained. @8NewsNow #8NN
Demonstrators are again blocking a main road, this time Fremont & Las Vegas Blvd.
They said they are “waiting for police to show up.” @8NewsNow #8NN

You can see traffic backed up on Las Vegas Blvd as demonstrators block the street for several light cycles. @8NewsNow #8NN
Two officers have approached and appear to be having a conversation with demonstrators. @8NewsNow #8NN
You can see dozens of police officers in tactical gear, lined up in a nearby alley.
