VIDEO THREAD: Last night, riot police confronted about 50 protesters who continued marching for #BreonnaTaylor into the evening.
A Lieutenant told an activist the response was provoked by two rifle-wielding participants who told a car to turn around. I did not see that incident.

"Under Kentucky state law, this is an unlawful assembly, and we command all persons so assembled here to immediately and peacefully disperse. If you do not do so, we may dispense chemical agents, and you will be arrested," LMPD repeated as riot cops pushed the crowd back.
Most of the crowd put considerable distance between them and the officers.
Media and a handful of local UPG militia members like the one in this shot stayed on the frontline and mocked officers for the use of strobe lights etc.

Ahead, officers arrested a woman who was leaving the protest in her vehicle with young three kids in the car
I've edited this to not include the children, who were visibly shaken and basically just released into the crowd of protesters as the car was towed.

Police ultimately released the mother on site with a summons. She was left with her kids but no car (I can confirm they left safely.)
She was apparently arrested for driving "recklessly" with the kids leaning out windows.
Protesters yelled as cops as they finally left the scene
