1) From ABC News, I’m Daria Albinger. Police in Louisville, Kentucky, are telling protestors downtown to disperse. “__ state law this unlawful assembly, and we commend all personas __.” Demonstrators have been underway for hours after officials announced grand jury decision not to indict police officers on charges directly related to the death of Breonna Taylor. The only charges three counts of wanton engagement against fired officer Brett Hankison for shooting into a neighbor’s apartment. Protestor Mary Fray says she’s discouraged, “In my heart it doesn’t feel like there is any justice for Breonna, not because they’ve never brought up any murder charges. There are those two officers, they’re still on paid Medicare and I believe nothing is being brought up against them.” Mayor Greg Fisher says an internal police review is still underway. “LMPD is conducting a professional standard unit investigation to determine if any policies or procedures were violated by officers involved in the case. The chief of police will use that report to determine if any officers need further training or discipline.” A county-wide curfew will take effect 9:00 p.m.

 

2) Some made the trip from several states away and many waited in a line for hours. Mourners filing passed the casket of justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg lying in repose on the marvel steps of the Supreme Court. President Trump explaining why he wants Ginsburg’s successor confirmed before Election Day. In the White House cabinet room, “It’s very important that we have nine justices.” President Trump meaning state attorney’s general discussing law and order and voting rules, and his unproven claim. There will be widespread mailing voter fraud. “I think this will end up in the Supreme Court.” If it does, the post-election fights see who won could drag into December as it did in the case of Bush-vs-Gore.
