matt finn is in louisville.at shooting happened a distance from us.tt we don't have any eyewitness information to bring you. we will keep you updated on the louisville police officer brantley shot here in the city. police have declared this area on an unlawful assembly and over the past hour or so they've been coming over the loudspeaker warning people to clear the area because they started lighting fires, some of which you can still see.rn they started throwing objects at police, and police declared ane unlawful assembly and they warned everyone to clear the area. right now, it's much calmer than it was just a short while ago. we have officers in s.w.a.t. gear. we have bearcats. a they are going back-and-forth between an ongoing standoff with protesters who are coming up and screaming and yelling at them. this is a much calmer, less dangerous situation than a short while ago. earlier in the day today, there was a large crowd hear people chanting profanities againstst police. people screaming in officers' faces,

shots going off in louisville.ple running under an overpass very loud, screaming "they are shooting at cops." clearly someone was shooting at cops because as we just told you, one of them was hit. we don't know his condition. we don't have those details but we will have them. they will be ignored by the other channels. the macro question is this and it's the one almost should meditate on. why is this happening? it's happening because a grand jury represented citizens who represent our justice system, the fairest in the world, one of the oldest of the world, a system that assure served us ve. ugh group of angry, violent dumb people didn't like it. they were abetted, they were funded by some of those privileged people in our society. what does that tell you? if you don't like a court decision, you get to shoot cops? said business is on fire, destroy cities? that is a precedent that we have set and that we have confirmed again and again and again since memorial day weekend. it's not a precedent we can live with. thing

in louisville. where curfew went into effect an hour ago and police are awaiting a press conference. take it away. one police officer, what happened? >> we are awaiting for more information about that officer that has been shot. any moment now we're waiting to hear from police chief robert sloeder. expected to give details about what happened. let me review and get to the point where we can really explain how we got to the point where the officer was shot. it started about 8:00. we were at jefferson square park. the crowd started to become more agitated. some started to set small fires and minutes later at 8:15 a crowd of a couple hundred broke off from the park. approximate marching throughout downtown louisville. once they reached an overpass we heard what sounded like to be fire works. and shortly there after seconds later we heard what sounded to be like gunfire and everyone started running. seconds later after we were able to secure a location we heard word that an officer had been shot. i want

okay, right after the break, back to louisville. >> shannon: now to violence in louisville where two police officers have been shot, now >> night of violence in louisville where two police services a sharp, mass arrests may be underway. let's get to correspondent matt finn. what's the latest where you are? >> reporter: louisville police tell us they've arrested 46 people. there is a group of people being held on the side of the street, looks like they are likely going to be arrested, perhaps charged. the past couple hours there have been some flareups in this area where protesters were taunting police, yelling profanities at them and over and over again police on the loudspeaker warning if it became an unlawful assembly these people are violating the 9:00 pm curfew, law enforcement urging people to go home, dozens did not and we have seen here where there are probably 12 people being detained on the side of the road and this area is ground 0 for the protests the past couple months, the center of downtown louisville, town square if you will and there is a memorial for breanna taylor b

my hope is this agreement is the next step in building a more just louisville. more just louisville is the medicine we need to heal thank you very much. >> thank you, mike next we will hear from ben crump, an attorney with breonna's estate ben crump. >> thank you, mayor, attorney michael connell. to the louisville metro council, to tamika palmer as i sit and look at her and bianca, my heart is filled because we have become like family and it has been so long getting to this day where we could assure that breonna taylor's life wouldn't be swept until the rug like so many other black women in america who have been killed by police marginalized. so i'm grateful to the actions of the city of louisville today, and it is not just the historic $12 million settlement which, as i understand is the largest amount ever paid out for a black woman in a wrongful death killed by police in america i believe it may be the largest amount every paid for a black person in a police shooting. it's one of in the way of settlement in a police killing in america but the comprehensive re

this is the center of downtown louisville.n square if you will and there is a memorial for breonna taylor, but unfortunately some bad actors started some fires today, they threw objects at officers. it did turn chaotic and violent and unfortunately two officers shot tonight. as you can see, a very large police presence here, state troopers as well. they are in their riot gear, they have been holding that line for hours now. it appears that louisville police were not caught off guard beginning yesterday, they began sectioning off large portions of the downtown, putting up barricades. they were only allowing inessential workers and residents because everyone was expecting that big grand jury decision that came down today. many people not satisfied with none of the officers being charged with any type of homicide, protesters took to the streets and did for several hours, here we are now with people being arrested. >> shannon: we know that law enforcement was geared up. the governor and the mayor had planned essentially for whatev

you live pictures from louisville, kentucky.e, a police officer has been shot at those protests. do not know the condition and we don't have more details on that but one police officer shot in louisville kentucky amid protests on the tayla case. barbara sexton smith, is a counciller in louisville, kentucky — my colleague kasia madera asked for her reaction to wednesday's events. when i very first heard, as eve ryo ne when i very first heard, as everyone here in the commonwealth of kentucky, that only one officer was going to be charged and the charge was simply going to be three counts of wa nto n simply going to be three counts of wanton endangerment for the three bullets that went into the apartment next door to breonna taylor where a man, woman and child were, that was incredibly frustrating and very disappointing to me as a metro councilwoman into the thousands of thousands of people who have been protesting on our streets for 194 days since the night breonna taylor was killed in her home by local police officers. so what's

if you could understand louisville, most of the protests have been happening in downtown louisville,ome to the east of downtown. the west end of the city is much like other urban areas, and invested, nothing there -- un invested, nothing there. folks are all the way down, 2 21 atcks away from any protests 26th and broadway.y. and they are just living, doing what they do, all ththe time. plplea take the e national guard down there. they begin shooting pepper bullets at people. david, a a beloveded community member, and even beloved by police -- he catered their training. he shoots a gun into the air. we are not sure he even realizes it is always outside. it seems to be trying to disperse the crowd. police returned fire. he is killed. but it started with them shooting people who were out -- there literally shooting at people's heads for protest violations. i'm so sorry, for curfew violations. for curfew violations. so you move forward from there and i t think it is important fr us to say what was accomplished in these protests. it was more just whether or not whether daniel cameron dec

just outside of downtown louisville.s is on the heels of some very fiery protests after the announcement was made regarding the breonna taylor case. we should be clear. it's unknown if this is in fact related to the protesting. you've got to think louisville is a big city. there is still going to be police officers out here doing g their job in addition to monitoring what's happening with the protests. we're hoping to get an update in the next hour to get moree information. we should also mentioned that this shooting happened just a block away from the hospital. there is a hospital right behind where i am looking this way off to the side. we don't know the condition of the officers or what led up to it but we are hoping to get more information. >> sean: keep us in the loop. w we are awaiting a press conference. karl rove was with us. we have a debate in six nights. i would assume this would be a big topic in the debate. kamala harris praising defunding the police. kamala harris literally advertising a fund to get anarchi

we go right now to correspondent cal perry in louisville. and kimberly crenshaw, a law professor at ucla. and sheryl dorsey, a retired police sergeant. cal, let me begin with you. set the scene for us on the ground. what areout their reaction to t charges against one officer? >> reporter: people are upset. people are just now sort of reacting, we got the word in last few hours and leading up to this, this citywide curfew, a city in lockdown. we've been talking about it, these huge dump trucks, stopping vehicles from getting in. when we heard that announcement this park was fairly full. but now it's clearing out. they're angry and disappointed. the circumstances of that night between the police and between the family, there's still some of those circumstances in question. as you said at the end of the day, people here are viewing there was no charges brought on any of the officers when it came to breonna taylor's death, the charge that was brought on officer hankison because he fired rounds into adjacent apartments. here in louisville, you ha

started marching throughout downtown louisville. once they reached an overpass, we heard what sounded like to be fireworks. and then, shortly thereafter, seconds later, don, we heard what sounded to be like gunfire. then, everyone started running. and then, seconds later, after we were able to secure a location, we had heard word that an officer had been shot. i want you to listen to what it sounded like from one of the camera positions. >> shots fired. you good? >> good. >> you all good? >> officer down. right there. officer down. take cover. >> so you can see some -- some really tense moments there. as we were all there trying to take cover, trying to determine what had happened. but again, we are waiting word, right now, from police chief robert schroeder where we are expected to get more information about what exactly happened to that officer. and just from the taylor family perspective, you know, don, we have heard over and over that they said they have wanted protests tonight and going forward to be peaceful. certainly, that i

my hope is this agreement is the next step in building a more just louisville, more just louisville is the medicine we need to heal. thank you very much. >> thank you, mike. next, we'll hear from ben crump, an attorney with breonna's estate. ben crump. >> thank you, mayor fischer, attorney michael connell. to the louisville metro counsci, to tamika palmer. as i sit and look at her and bianca, my heart is fill ed because with lonita, sam, and i, we have become like family. and it has been so long getting to this day where we could sure breonna taylor's life wouldn't be swept under the rug like so many other black women in america who have been killed by police. marginalized. so i'm grateful for the actions of the city of louisville today. and it is not just the historic $12 million settlement, which as i understand is the largest amount ever paid out for a black woman in a wrongful death killed by a police in america. and lonita, i believe it may be the largest amount ever paid for a black person in a police shooting. we're still trying to verify that. and it is certainly, tamika, one o

this is a big step for louisville. i hope other cities will follow suit in saying what can we do to ensure to rebuild trust between communities and the police departments as well as create a place that we can have peace and safe and welcoming communities. >> dana: rob, we're seeing this again. that's usually at the local level where you see solutions. that's where the people know each other best in coming together. of course, the kentucky attorney general, daniel cameron, has some decisions to make. the investigation is ongoing there. so we await that. if we get word from them, we'll add it to the show. rob, let's get your overall reaction to this. >> well, the reaction is, i find it very interesting at the beginning there was a female attorney for the family that talked a lot about, you know, the overhauling of the search warrants, talked about engaging police officers, living in the community. what struck me is there wasn't a lot of this incendiary rhetoric talking about defunding the police that we've seen from a lo

she was an emt who worked at a louisville hospital is a full-time er technician. her mother so she aspired to grow her career in healthcare, including going back to school, to become neonatal intensive care unit nurse. as all sides decry breanna taylor's death as a tragedy geraldo rivera says those who shot the officers last night of defiled her memory. >> a guy shoots a cop using deadly force against police, what are the cops supposed to do? they are charged, one officer has been shot and they fire back, it wasn't even a close call. it was always going to be this way because of the hype of people who were anti-cop for amending this hatred, the people who shot those cops defiled the memory of breanna taylor. jillian: the grand jury reached its conclusion, the investigation is still open and we will follow the breaking story throughout this newscast. >> there was the story, senators weighing in on a senate panel's interim report on the burisma probe looking into hunter biden's involvement with the ukrainian gascony, ron johnson detailing conflicts of interest the c

these live pictures from downtown louisville. there is a curfew the supposed to take effect in less than a half hour. we have not seen a lot of activity a couple minutes ago these live pictures did show some people kind of running down the street going around a corner. we saw some officers with helmets and batons also moving down the street, some civilian vehicles kind of racing rather quickly down the street but we haven't seen tear gas or rubber bullets. chemical irritant said police say they are prepared to use and we haven't seen any signs of the national guard which has also been called into action the downtown district in louisville, kentucky started boarding up earlier this week when there was word that the announcement would be coming down today regarding this case 2 other officers involved who did fire shots during the botched raid which happened back in march or not indicted. >>all of this means that no officer was charged with the actual killing of the 26 year-old black woman brianna taylor was an emergency medical tec

i got to go to shimon prokupecz, who is in louisville. louisville. shimon, can you explain what's going on? what we're seeing in our shot? >> so we are with that same group. and what happened was there was fireworks, what sounded like fireworks, maybe even gunshots. and then, police started moving in. and you can see, here, to my left, police pointing weapons. they're moving people back. and part of it, what happened, anderson, is what sounded like gunfire. and the police started moving -- police started moving. and you can see them, here, pushing our david and one of -- my -- my photographer. david, come this way. so what happened is, anderson, if you're with me. here. let me just -- what happened was, this crowd was marching. they get -- they come to this area and the police block them off. the police block them off. they, then, started running. and what sounded like gunfire, quite honestly. there was fireworks. but then, something sounded like gunfire and we saw heavily armed police in these armored cars, here, you'll see going by me, move in quic

yet he was hired in louisville. so part of what we have to do is address the underlying conditions, not only the toxic culture of policing in this country but the way in which we insulate the police from being held accountable and being held responsible. when you combine a refusal to hold the folk who have deadly force with general disregard of particular populations, we're going to be in this situation over and over again where we will have to say the name of someone like breonna taylor again and again and again. >> and marq claxton, i want to go back to those two police officers shot tonight, non-life threatening according to the police spokesperson we just heard from. do members of the department recognize the point you just tried to make, which is the increased danger that these kinds of situations create for all members of the police department? >> i think generally speaking, no. and that's part of the problem. i think police officers are insulated and protected from the outside world. part of police culture it
