Louisville Protesters Block Traffic, Hurl Brick at Media Car

Some demonstrators in Louisville blocked traffic and threw a brick into a media car while police deployed pepper balls at them, the city’s interim police chief said in a joint news conference with the city’s mayor Monday night.
The statements from Chief Robert Schroeder came nearly three hours after police warned residents to avoid the city’s downtown area, and after a video posted on social media shows the brick being hurled into the window of a WLKY-TV camera crew’s car.
Some demonstrators created barricades on streets using road signs and rocks earlier in the evening while police monitored the scene from a helicopter and on the ground, news outlets reported.
 
“We can not have vehicles blocked from passing on roads safely,” Mayor Greg Fischer said.  
The demonstrators could be heard saying, “No Justice, No Peace,” and calling for three officers involved in the shooting of Breonna Taylor, a black woman gunned down by officers who burst into her Kentucky home in March, to be fired and charged, WLKY-TV reported.
