LOUISVILLE, Ky. As cities and states across the U.S. consider measures to curb or ban no-knocks warrants, supporters fear a similar proposal in the Kentucky legislature is in danger of being eviscerated.
Proposed amendments to the Kentucky General Assembly s no-knock search warrant bill would badly undercut the intent of the bill and lay a foundation for another repeat of Breonna Taylor s killing, critics said Monday.
Senate Bill 4, as proposed, would be a significant step forward, curtailing the use of the controversial warrants that allow police to break into homes without knocking or announcing themselves first, said members of the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky, Kentucky NAACP, Kentucky Center for Economic Policy and Black Lives Matter Louisville.

Students and professors are stressed out and searching for ways to relax, especially with the absence of a spring break.
With only two months left in the spring semester, students continue to have their schedules filled with a mixture of Zoom and in-person classes. Some students and professors are suffering from pre-existing mental health issues and are having a hard time as the strain of the pandemic adds to the challenges of a daily routine.
Many students are working one or more jobs, and some have families to support. Juggling work, school and family can be difficult in the best of circumstances. This strain of juggling challenges is particularly difficult for those who already struggle with their mental health.
