Kentucky city prepares for Breonna Taylor announcement Kentucky’s largest city is preparing for more protests and possible unrest in advance of the state attorney general’s announcement about whether he will charge officers in Breonna Taylor’s shooting deathLOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Officials in Kentucky’s largest city were preparing Tuesday for more protests and possible unrest as the public nervously awaits the state attorney general’s announcement about whether he will charge officers in Breonna Taylor’s shooting death. But some involved in protests seeking justice for Taylor questioned why the police were going to such “overkill” lengths when the city has been the site of peaceful protests for months. Andy Beshear said the measures taken by Louisville police are due to the intense scrutiny of the Taylor case, in Louisville and around the country. Large protests over Taylor’s death that at times became violent erupted in late May in the city but most demonstrations since then have been peaceful. Last week, the city of Louisville settled a lawsuit from Taylor’s family for $12 million and pledged several police reforms as part of the agreement.
