As the only Black female representative in the Kentucky Capitol, state Rep. Attica Scott (D) took action after the death of Breonna Taylor, who was fatally shot by police raiding her home in March. In August, Scott proposed Breonna’s Law, a bill that would end no-knock warrants statewide. And when a grand jury decided not to indict the officers in Taylor’s death, Scott joined hundreds of protesters in the streets of Louisville.
On Thursday night, Louisville police arrested Scott along with a handful of other protesters near First Unitarian Church and the Louisville Free Public Library, which had allegedly been set on fire, according to a police report reviewed by WAVE. The state representative received a felony charge of first-degree rioting and two misdemeanors for failure to disperse and unlawful assembly, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported. The paper reported Scott was released from jail Friday morning.
Louisville police arrested at least 24 people Thursday night, the department said in a Facebook post. In a news conference on Thursday, interim police chief Robert Schroeder said authorities arrested 127 people on Wednesday night.
The protests began on Wednesday after the three officers involved in the Taylor’s fatal shooting were not indicted in her death. A grand jury in Jefferson County, Ky., instead indicted Brett Hankison, a former Louisville police detective who was fired in June, with three charges of wanton endangerment in the first degree. The verdict meant the former detective endangered the lives of Taylor’s neighbors by firing the rounds.

Well isn’t she just down with the cause.
“which had allegedly been set on fire”
allegedly ... because it COULD have spontaneously combusted, right WaPo ...
Elected officials that get involved with protests or riots should lose their office. They are officials of the government and should act like that way.
May we assume she was faithfully representing the people who elected her?

I wonder what her brother, Alcatraz, is doing these days.
"Breonna’s Law, a bill that would end no-knock warrants statewide."
Of course these officers chose not to make use of their no-knock warrant and clearly identified themselves afrer knocking. It was only when the apartment occupants failed to open the door that they broke the door open. Witnesses have testified to this as the truth. Stupid woman, abolition of no-knock warrants would not have saved Brianna. Her boyfriend used a weapon with intent to harm the police. He is directly responsible for her death. Maybe if she hadn't decided to "shack up" with a drug dealer she'd still be alive.
Resume enhancing...
And the cops made enough noise for the neighbors to come to their doors/windows.
She’s named after a prison.
For today’s social-communist-democrat women?
Arrests while rioting are a resume requirement.

THAT’S A MAN!!
Democrats are with BLM/Antifa in spirit, some in person.
There’s not much evidence of feminine in that photo, if any.
.l. May we assume she was faithfully representing the people who elected her?
First, as I seem to recall from civics, she must uphold and defend the constitution of the United States and her respective state constitution.
