More than a dozen protesters, including a Democratic Kentucky lawmaker, were arrested as they attempted to gather at a church offering sanctuary in downtown Louisville.
A member of the First Unitarian Church told livestreamers Thursday night that “houses of worship are exempt from the curfew,†but as crowds headed to the site after the curfew went into effect at 9 p.m., Louisville Metro Police officers declared an unlawful assembly and arrested 17 people, including State Rep. Attica Scott. Video from the scene also showed rioters threatening white people with assault and kicking the press out from the church “sanctuary†grounds.
“So the church has opened this up as a sanctuary†— a place to get refreshments and legal aid if they need,†Brother Tim Duncan, a volunteer with the church explained amid the second night of protests after a Kentucky grand jury’s decision on the case of Breonna Taylor, who was killed by police gunfire in March.
