The National Guard is on alert, and the city is under a mandatory curfew after a grand jury decided not to indict three Police Officers in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor. The 26yearold emergency room technician was shot six times in her apartment back in march by Plainclothes Police serving a drug warrant. Today, the attorney general said two of the officers were were justified when they fired the shots that killed her. Now, a third officer will face lesser charges, not for taylors death, but for firing shots into her neighbors homes. The killing of Breonna Taylor gained renewed attention this summer in the wake of George Floyds death as cries of say her name became part of a nationwide movement for social justice and police reform. Shes graced the cover of o magazine and her cause was championed by athletes and celebrities.

There was a wave of palpable disappointment. This is why we are angry reporter immediately after the decision was announced, there was an explosion of emotion. Weve been out here for over 100 days. This is ridiculous. You know its not fair. At the end of the day, like, how much is a black womans life worth . Reporter demonstrators took to the streets. Late this afternoon, protesters clashed with police. As the chanting continued in louisville, 50 miles away in frankfort, kentucky, attorney general Daniel Cameron said he followed the facts. Sometimes the law, the criminal law is not adequate to respond to a tragedy. Reporter the grand jury concluded former officer brett hankison, who wildly fired ten shots endangered the lives of three people who were inside an apartment near Breonna Taylors. Officers Johnathan Mattingly and myles cosgrove, who fired the fatal shot at taylor, will not face state criminal charges. According to kentucky law, the use of force by mattingly and cosgrove was justified to protect themselves. This justification bars us from pursuing criminal charges in miss Breonna Taylors death. Come outside reporter taylor was killed in the earlymorning hours of march 13 as police were executing a search warrant. Her boyfriend, kenneth walker, says he believed the police were intruders. He fired a single shot that hit mattingly. Police then returned fire, hitting taylor six times. Somebody kicked in the door and shot my girlfriend. Reporter taylors family attorney, ben crump, called the decision outrageous and offensive. I mean, a life cut far too short, a life pregnant with possibilities. Reporter todays decision means no one will face state charges in Breonna Taylors death, a fact that is fueling the crowds response. So many that are at home right now minding their own business, and right now, our police could storm through their doors and murder them. That endangerment was about her neighbors. That was not about Breonna Taylor. Reporter cbs news has learned that one officer who was charged was released tonight on 15,000 bail. Some protesters have been arrested, but this is not over. The f.

We get more now from cbs mola lenghi. Reporter today, the nations Top Health Officials in the hot seat. In the end, f. D. A.

They are looking at the guidelines that we have put together from the task force of the four or five things of masks, social distancing, outdoors more than indoors; avoiding crowds and washing hands. Or theyve developed enough Community Immunity that theyre no longer having the pandemic because they have enough immunity in new york city to actually stop it. I challenged that, senator. Im afraid please, sir, i would like to be able to do this because this happens with senator rand all the time. You are not listening to what the director of the c. D. C. Said, that in new york, its about 22 . If you believe 22 is herd immunity, i believe youre alone in that. Reporter as drug makers race to develop a vaccine, the f. D. A. Is expected to issue tougher standards for approval. F. D. A. Will not authorize or approve any covid19 vaccine before it has met the agencys rigorous expectations for safety and effectiveness.

Among the words that best describe ruth, tough, brave, a fighter, a winner, but also, thoughtful, careful, compassionate, honest. When it came to opera, insightful, passionate. When it came to sports, clueless. Reporter maureen scalia, widow of the late justice antonin scalia, known for his legendary friendship with ginsburg and their shared love of opera was among the mourners.

As of today, he was still talking about Barbara Lagoa of florida. Odonnell jan crawford with all those late details. Thank you, jan. And now to the white house, where the president came to the Briefing Room just a short time ago to talk about coronavirus but ended up making news on what could happen if he loses this years election. Cbs weijia jiang joins us right now from the white house. Good evening, weijia. Reporter good evening, norah. Tonight, President Trump refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, regardless of the outcome of the election. And he has repeatedly said the only way he will lose is if it is rigged. Now he says the Supreme Court will likely have to make the final call. All this unfolding as the president cut his briefing short to take an emergency phone call. President trump revealed why hes rushing to nominate a justice to the Supreme Court, anticipating a battle over the election results. I think this will end up in the Supreme Court. And i think its very important that we have nine justices. Reporter the president wants congress to confirm his pick before november 3. We were elected. We have a lot of time. One justice was picked in 19 days, 19 days. Reporter the monumental decision could reshape the race that was largely focused on mr. Trumps handling of the pandemic. Is he going to walk in with a mask . Reporter at a packed rally last night, just as the u. S. Death toll crossed over 200,000, President Trump made light of joe biden covering his face. I mean, honestly, what the hell did he spend all that money on the Plastic Surgery if hes going to cover it up with a mask . Seriously. Reporter doctors on the Coronavirus Task force say masks are the best protection against the virus. Face masks, these face masks are the most important powerful Public Health tool we have. Reporter but the president often rejects their views, relying instead on dr. Scott atlas. Mr. Trump hand picked the radiologist, who has no experience with infectious diseases, to be a medical adviser. Today, the white house denied a report that dr. Deborah birx, the coordinator of the task force, is distressed and unhappy over atlass influence. But cbs news has learned that birx is just one of several members of the task force who the task force who have clashed with atlas. And we still dont know what that phone call was about that the president took, but earlier today, a new york judge ruled that his son, eric trump, must testify as part of an investigation into the familys Business Practices some time in the next two weeks, rejecting mr. Trumps claims that he is too busy campaigning. Eric trump called the probe a vendetta against his father, but said he will comply. Norah. Odonnell so much news coming out of the white house.

Reporter this time, its cindy mccain, the widow of john mccain, who ran against barack obama and biden in 2008. Im not changing my registration or anything like that, but right now, i believe the person in the race that is the best one that represents me is joe biden. Reporter mccains husband served as the senior senator from arizona, where a new poll today shows biden tied with President Trump. He fired back today on twitter, reminding followers that hes no fan of the late senator. Other polls show biden and mr. Trump virtually tied in the battleground states of florida and georgia, and as biden tries to stay ahead, hes focusing on the economy, coronavirus, and race relations, which he discussed today with black leaders and educators. We have a gigantic opportunity, a gigantic opportunity to fundamentally change the systemic racism and the systemic problems that exist in our system. Reporter he also warned that a more conservative Supreme Court could spell the end of the Affordable Care act. Reporter some democrats want to add seats to rebalance the Supreme Court. Biden has opposed the idea of socalled court packing, but now wont go there. Let me tell you, im not going to answer that question.
