LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Louisville’s interim police chief said some demonstrators in the city blocked traffic and threw a brick into a news station’s car Monday night while police deployed pepper balls at them.
The statements came nearly three hours after the city’s police department warned residents to avoid the downtown area, and after a video posted on social media shows a brick being thrown into the window of a WLKY-TV camera crew’s car. News outlets report some demonstrators created barricades on streets using road signs and rocks. Police say nine people were arrested.
WLKY-TV reports demonstrators were calling for three officers involved in the shooting of Breonna Taylor to be charged.
