officials want to protect and over my other shoulder is the hall of justice it's a courthouse for jefferson county and then just beyond that is a memorial for briana taylor that's where we've been talking to people who have been telling us that this is not just this is not just this in part because nobody who fired a shot the officer fired the fatal shots that killed briana taylor is not charged at all the officer who was charged is being charged with 3 counts of reckless endangerment for firing into the neighboring apartment where a white family of 3 lives so people here are upset there will still be federal in a federal investigation here that means there could potentially be charges by the federal government as opposed to the local government here but people are not happy and what has happened then is we've seen police lines and there have been protesters arrested confronting those police officers and that's not unusual here we've had over 100 days of protests in louisville but many people expect things to get difficult tonight after the curfew ends at 9 o'clock and that is in just about 4 hour
