Reporter thousands of people took to the street you discussed sadness, frustration, and anger. The grand jury discussing the death of Breonna Taylor and said the Police Officers responsible for her death will not face murder or homicide charges. Demonstrations started peacefully but there were clashes between police and protesters. Lease arrested 127 people overnight, some jumping on vehicles used as blockades. Others for looting. We know people are taking eventually protest. Its unusual, however, to see a large number of people to go into business every move property. It signifies looting. Reporter two Police Officers were shot, one in the leg and one in the abdomen. Both are expected to recover. One was arrested for the shooting but police will not say if it is connected to the protest. The two officers shot in the protest are doing well. Less like the situation could have been
