‘No Justice, No Peace’: Breonna Taylor Protests Spread Over NYC

NEW YORK CITY — Waves of demonstrators rippled over New York City to protest a grand jury’s decision to not charge any cops in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor.

Video from Wednesday night captured scenes of hundreds of peaceful protesters ribboning down Brooklyn streets and over the Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges.

They chanted Breonna Taylor’s name outside the Barclays Center and a rallying cry that promised continued outrage over police killings of Black men and women: “No justice, no peace.”

Taylor, 26, a Black woman, was shot and killed by Louisville police during a March 13 raid on her home. Her death fueled protests across New York City and the nation for months, along with the killing of George Floyd, a Black man in Minneapolis.

Protesters demanded the cops who shot Taylor be charged and arrested for her death. But a Kentucky grand jury on Wednesday decided not to charge the officers involved in her death.

Jurors did indict Louisville police detective Brett Hankison with an wanton endangerment charge after authorities said he blindly shot into neighboring apartments during the raid on Taylor’s home.

The decision prompted protests in Louisville, New York City and across the country.

Protesters in New York City spread a message for Taylor online: “Breonna, we love you. We miss you. We will keep fighting for you.”
