floyd the ending of the bombing of no knock warrants in drug cases the case of brother taylor in louisville has received a great deal of attention police burst into a house shooting multiple tile times and killing her and her bad history as she slept there is also going to be a registry of disciplinary problems or for police officers right now is very little transparency about which police officers are. doing things that they shouldn't be doing basically so this would be a national registry national database would also help in keeping track of police officers who at the moment are free to break the rules do terrible things in one police jurisdiction and then simply move to another police jurisdiction when they're disciplined so that's about keeping track of bad police officers and it's also going to make it easier to sue individual police officers. it's interesting that this is going to pass without any problem in the house in the coming few hours but after that it's likely to go nowhere the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says he's not going to bring this up for debate or a vote in

cal perry is in louisville with the very latest. cal, good to talk to you.hat more can you tell us about what's in breonna's law, the momentum around a total ban on no knock warrants? >> i think it's a conversation on two fronts. the first is the usefulness of these no knock warrants. you're talking about officers not wearing uniforms using a battering ram to break down the door and go into an apartment in which they're being taken as intruders and that's certainly what breonna's boyfriend said he thought was going on when he fired at those police. they returned fire, hitting her eight times, we know the trangi result of that. a second question how police came to her door specifically when the person they were looking for was already in custody. you look at the five warrants signed that day, they were all signed in about 12 minutes, on top of that you have this incident report as you said which is almost blank, virtually blank, not only the section about breonna saying that she sustained no injuries, but there was this section about whether or not they used

otherwise here in louisville, we didn't see looting.orts of that or any other violence that has punctuated the other days of these protests but here it was a relatively quiet night last night despite the fact that another incident leading to another round of investigations of the police here began on sunday night. >> keep us posted throughout the morning. alison? >> john, the national guard and local police sweeping through downtown atlanta as a 9 p.m. curfew went into effect for the third straight night. there were tense moments and dozens of arrest. cnn's diane gallagher was live with the latest. what happened, diane? >> reporter: alison, most of those were for curfew violations. we're still under curfew. according to police, the protesters after curfew would not leave the park here. they began throwing rocks and other projectiles at them. this is the fourth night of protesting. there have been just under 350 people arrested in atlanta. last night was the most peaceful of those four nights. there were some intense moments in between t

tonight the city council in louisville will be looking at breonna's law. that law would limit those no-knock warrants. i want to bring in nbc's cal perry. he is in louisville this morning. what should we expect on that vote tonight on breonna's law, cal? >> reporter: craig, something is going to pass. the only question is whether or not it passes with language that will still allow police to use these no-knock warrants and what they're calling, quote unquote, extenuating circumstances, things like an active shooter or kidnapping. opponents of banning it completely will tell you police will probably do that anyway if those extenuating circumstances exist. we expect something to pass. it's come out of committee 7-0. the bigger questions are how these are carried out in general. what brought police to her door, how was that warrant signed in a period of only 12 minutes. why is there this contradiction between police who say they announced their presence versus all of the neighbors and her boyfriend who said that they did not. all of these questions hopefully

nbc's cal perry is in louisville for us now. he's been there for more than a week.al, i got to tell you, we were all in some rough spots a week ago. you look like you were in a war zone. >> reporter: yeah, this was a war zone, this square. the thing that made it a war zone were snipers on the roof, national guard coming through the square and life gunfire. here's the difference. you want to know why it's peaceful now? that's why. the local police are now engaging with the community in a way that is totally nonviolent, completely non-threatening. the national guard has disappeared, and it's allowing people to do this march and do it peacefully. this is now day nine. i would echo what chris jansing has said, that if you question people's dedication to what's happening out here, people are tired, they are hot, but they are still here. you mentioned of course breonna taylor. she is the person that people are rallying behind. today we saw people making giant birthday cards for her. as you mentioned, yesterday would have been her 27th birthday. we saw this beautiful momen

nbc's cal perry joins us now from louisville. cal, i hear that mr.ee was a well known member of the community who often gave away barbecue to police officers. >> his body laid in the streets for about 14 hours. the police saying they regret that. we were able to speak with family and friends on that morning. >> cal, i'm sorry. i don't mean to interrupt you. did you say that his body lay in the streets for 14 hours? >> reporter: yeah. so this was a very tense scene morning. the police were investigating it. they said his body was part of the crime scene. we were standing there with a group of very upset folks from the neighborhood including some family members and constant negotiations with the detective who was running the investigation about moving that body. and police later said they regretted how long he laid there in that street. and during that time, we were able to talk to people who talked about how kind a man he was. how he owned this barbecue restaurant partly to surround himself with family members. that this was a place where people hung

were you at the protest in louisville? is that where you were the other day? i live in louisville myself and when you said paint balls or you were talking about -- you know what i'm talking about when they were shooting those balls or something that's what they were using here. and i didn't know if that's where you were when you were referring to being at the protests the other day or not. i did want to just add my two cents. i keep listening to all these people this morning, some cooks calling in about swars and we need a civil war and all of this. i think no we don't knee a war. we've had enough war as it is. i think we've had it up to here with war right now. what we need is reform. we need -- also, i sympathize with people that talk about a resistance movement but i personally don't agree with the resistance because i don't think it goes far enough. we need a transdental movement. i say we probably need a drive or move party to rival the coffee party and the tea party quite frankly right now. and quite frankly it doesn't help matters much when we have the

why is louisville waiting for justice for taylor? on the troubled trump is having running against a white male candidate. when all in starts now. here we are again, faster than i thought it would take, but we have set the single day record for new coronavirus cases in the country. more than 36,000 new infections across the country today. the latest number surpassing the single highest day record set way back on april 25th after the lockdowns and the economic calamity and the mourning and the grief and the fatalities and the deaths and the crisis in this country is today getting worse. and instead of doing something about it, the president is trying to cover it up. federal government is now, get this, ending funding for a whole bunch of coronavirus testing sites, including seven in the state of texas, which of course has seen record daily increases in new cases. and you might ask yourself on what planet would this make sense? who would slow down testing in the middle of a vicious outbreak? i mean, texas just hit an all-time daily high
