I've been covering Breonna Taylor protests in Louisville with @HayesGardner for several months and I really don't want this point to be lost:
Black people here - especially women - are deeply sad. They saw themselves in Breonna. They didn't want to let her down. 1/

Yesterday I saw women who I've formed strong professional relationships with break down, unable to speak. I heard distress and anger in their voices and watched them still work to calm tensions so that destruction would not occur. 2/
Through the night, fires were set outside the Hall of Justice. 127 people were arrested. Two police officers were shot. Those facts and images will likely lead national news reports and coverage. 3/
But don't forget that Breonna Taylor's death was so meaningful to this community, it brought people out to march in her name for 120 days and counting.
Black people here might not feel like speaking today. But they're going to continue raising their voices in her name.
