The Louisville Metro Police Department has canceled all off days and vacation requests until further notice as the agency prepares for Attorney General Daniel Cameron's announcement in the Breonna Taylor case.

Sgt. Lamont Washington announced the decision in a Monday afternoon news release.

"The public may also see barriers being staged around downtown, which is another part of our preparations," Washington said in the statement.

What a decision: throw innocent police officers doing their job under the bus as sacrificial lambs, or deal with weapons-grade terrorism against which no effective action is allowed.

Why declare a state of emergency? Haven’t the protests been mostly peaceful so far?

If it’s possible, check IDs coming into town.

Keep the folks who don’t live there, outside the city.

[WKUHilltopper]

Get some.

Hey, if NY City can do it, so can anyone else.

Roof top target practice from all directions will scatter these pukes like roaches

The family already received about 12 million dollars and I think some police concessions surely they won’t be burning anything down.

I hope I don’t have to go to Louisville in the next few days.

Even just the credible threat of it would do the same.

Excellent summary!

Except they weren’t innocent, weren’t just doing their jobs, and murdered somebody in their sleep. If this was clean they would have gotten the investigation over with months ago. They’ve been ass dragging hoping it would go away.

Seriously, stop spouting that BS 'she was murdered in her sleep' and do some reading. Here I'll provide you a link. 'Clearly, I was scared': Newly released police interviews shed light on Breonna Taylor case - Louisville Courier-Journal Gonna take a stab and guess you don't live anywhere near Louisville like we do and have fallen victim to the MSM line.

SHE WAS MURDERED IN HER SLEEP!

No Knock raids should be illegal except in some pretty strong cases where certain conditions exist. If they actually announced or not I don’t know. But any criminal could yell “Police” before they kicked in someones door. And if they were wearing body cams and did not have them turned on while doing a no knock raid then that tells us a lot. Of course until we know all of those details then it is hard to know.
