BREAKING: Two police officers have been shot in Louisville amid protests over the lack of charges in Breonna Taylor's death. A suspect is in custody.

“It’s almost like a slap in the face,” the 15-year-old said by phone. “If I, as a Black woman, ever need justice, I will never get it.”

“But my heart breaks for the loss of Miss Taylor. ... My mother, if something was to happen to me, would find it very hard,”But Cameron, who is the state’s first Black attorney general, said the officers acted in self-defense after Taylor’s boyfriend fired at them. He added that Hankison and the two other officers who entered Taylor’s apartment announced themselves before entering — and so did not execute the warrant as “no knock,” according to the investigation.

At a news conference, Trump read a statement from Cameron saying “justice is not often easy.” He praised both Cameron’s handling of the case and the governor calling up of the National Guard.

The proud boys are at it again, those rascals

The proud boys are at it again, those rascals

Those darn Proud Boys.

Must be those white supremacists I hear so much about. Never seen one, but I hear they number in the hundreds of millions.

Proud Boys...stand down!!

WhiteSupremacy ?

White Supremacists?

Were they shot by an idea?

Proud boys & kkk again?

must have been the proud boys again

Those are mainstream Democrat voters.

More right wing white supremacist violence?

Justice for Breonna.... 🗣

BREAKING: I don’t give a fuck how the cops feel. If they don’t like it. Find a new job. Surly it can’t be that hard to find a job that values your racism.

Take this fvcking photo down. This isn’t the suspected shooter. You’re emboldening racists with this garbage.

If the shooter is a protester, then this is emblematic of a much larger problem in society today: competing conceptions of justice. Is it the state that administers justice, or can individuals do so too? Does the law shape justice or vice versa?

The clear difference between these two situations is this - these officers were hunted down and killed. Breonna Taylor was killed in the crossfire of a lawfully served warrant after officers returned fire on her boyfriend that shot at them first. See the difference?

Did they get shot sleeping in their beds? Did they die?

People rioting over the death of a CRIMINAL! Yes, she was a CRIMINAL. So was George Floyd. Rioters want criminals to get away with anything & the Democrats are helping by posting bail. This is the new America under Biden administration. Must have law & order!!!

Too much trash in this thread

Bet they make arrests right away

So their idea of justice is shooting people that had absolutely nothing to do with the situation they're supposedly protesting? Nah, they just want to shoot people.

Two police officers were shot PERIOD. There is no justification for that. Slimey AP.

I wonder if those shootings of police going to be considered self defense in Kentucky? 'Burglar breaking down my door, I shoot at burglar, burglar fires back killing someone in home, grand jury finds burglar acted in self defense.' Is this America or apartheid South Africa?

The suspect will be bailed out by the nameless one's mommy.

ShawnaKhalafiTV Your selection of photo is abhorrently reckless, defamatory & life threatening - not just for protester featured, but for all Black men given racial profiling by police & white supremacist ‘vigilantes.’ Take this down NOW. cc: ColorOfChange Mvmnt4BlkLives

Maybe they were sleeping on the job?

Unless the dude in this photo is the suspect, you need to take this down. This young man could be tied to this shooting, if you're not careful. SloppyReporting

Whoever chose to run THIS photo of a black man with THIS story should be fired on the spot. Shame on you for eternity. The truly dangerous thugs look more like the men below. 👇👇

Of course picks a photo of a Black man when they don’t know the identity of the shooter. So telling.

bsoenensvrt Walker fired a gun, and the officers returned fire. Its simple: her boyfriend is responsable for that Breonna's death. If you shoot to police lol, then they shoot back.

These protests need to stop. It’s not helping

Good

It’s so odd there’s a shortage of details about this. They’re usually tight lipped when a white supremacist is the shooter.

Your cover photo for this article is going to mislead the dumbasses, but you must know that. Who is that guy in your photo anyway? If were him I would be looking for a lawyer to sue you.

What does it take to list BLM and especially Antifa as a hate group? How officer have to get shot?! The system is more scared of what the public would say about it, instead of protecting the officers that risk their lives everyday! LouisvilleProtests BlueLivesMatter !

Why did you decide to run with the photo of a Black man with his hands up, when no identities have been released yet. Do better, AP.

Geee I hope it didn't disturb their sleep....or were they smashing skulls open? Either way I don't care.

Breonna's murderers are not being charged with murder. This shooter should be allowed to be free for six months as well then indicted on lesser charges.

dragon1food While I don't agree with the reaction, they kinda asked for it.

tahsinkhann It's amazing how quickly THAT shooter was apprehended. 🙄

guess you should have taken the charges seriously before it got to this point 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have an idea. I know Taylor's life was destroyed. So, I may as well destroy my own. Then I can complain about how 'they' made ME destroy MY life. Isn't this cause revolutionary? THEY WIN AGAIN, MORONS.

Oh, so NOW it's a crime to shoot someone in Kentucky. Good to know.

But other than that mostly peaceful

mclemoremr Of all the images to show with this headline, why this?

Protesters don't shoot people.

It was mostly peaceful! Two cops out of how many there tonight? (FFS this is sarcasm)

The person should not be charged.

acab keep on rolling , plenty of harvest in the fields

It’s obviously awful that officers were shot. Without question. However, to murder an innocent person and acknowledge wrongdoing to the tune of an 8 figure settlement, but then absolve the murderers of any criminal charges re: the death... maybe such a reaction isn’t that weird.

FallonTonight

Say her name BreonnaTaylor NoJusticeNoPeace

Interesting photo choice.

Riots, peaceful protests...

jimmyfallon FYI

But are all of the walls and windows nearby ok?

So?

Evil begets evil.

dope

They were able to arrest those guys though, huh?

GOOD

They are shooting cops In Louisville, I wonder if the police should hold riots,looting,burning and statue destroying protests? Oh & also receive 12m settlement awards?

Shot by Boogaloos I bet, FuckTheCopsWhoKilledBreonnaTaylor

devilradio Was any drywall harmed?

womp womp

🙏🏽

And so it begins: Open season on all policemen for the sins of a few. I hope they weren't seriously injured and that they recover soon. And whoever, outside of the 'peaceful protesters,' said that their demonstrations would be 'peaceful?' Whoever heard of a peaceful riot?

Hey! Where are all you crying “super spreader “ Mask justice warriors? I don’t see masks being worn here!

Trump's America!

So is this guy the person arrested? If not, why use this picture?

2 Cops were shot by a little child protecting the city. It's totally ok. No news here.

We are descending into Hammurabi's Code. An eye for an eye.......

This type of rioting needs to stop ASAP! It's seriously worse time for our young women & men to become an officer in duty. Select few bad apples are ruining whole container! EASY FIX Sir! There must be ZERO GUNS at ANY PROTEST! One carries a firearm, they are immediately excluded

I think it was a fat orange white guy !

As Trump said, quick sentence and death penalty to cop killers!

Only two? Shame.

good

Sounds like a classic case of wanton endangerment.

Yeah, murder is legal is Louisville.

But I had a warrant. Didn’t have time to check all the facts.

He was in fear of his life and shot the police before they could execute him...justified shooting.

Why this photo?

Stupid people who know nothing about law.

They probably felt threatened

Not helpful

Let’s wait until we know for sure who did it before we cast blame. Both the left and right have motivation to do this. Let’s keep the police officers in our hearts and hope for a full and quick recovery.

I heard on Facebook that one of the cops ex’s was a drug dealer so in reality he had it coming

*riots

Hey idiots...the GRAND JURY ruled accordingly...that is how the law works. If you don’t like it, find a country with no laws.

Every democrat, the left, left media is to blame, they are not in reality, they are insane. Need to hold those accountable, now! Stop the BS! Vote Trump, vote red

Knowing how trigger-happy LMPD is, I wouldn't be surprised with friendly fire.

“People do what they do” Pelosi

Animals running wild in the street, and the media calls it a protest.

The family has the money to sue them for wrongful death. Its not prison but taking all they own is a form of justice.

BLM = TERRORISTS

Both officers who were shot during protests in Louisville over a lack of charges in Breonna Taylor's death are in stable condition and expected to recover, the police chief says.

Burn it down! Burn it all down! Rise and keep rising until the are scared to be racist
