Kentucky’s only Black female legislator arrested on felony rioting charge at Breonna Taylor protest

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.

Charge her to the fullest extent of the law. ELECTED Public servants don’t have any need to protest, they are in control of the levers of power. She should pay for her being on the wrong side of the law since she was given a public trust.

Nah. Black female Affirmative Action. She checks too many boxes. Nothing will happen to her. She is probably back on the street continuing her rioting.

Racist Stalinazis gonna racist and Stalinazi.

P.S. Parents, when you name your kid after a prison, it’s about a better-than-even bet that they’re going to end up in one.

She cares nothing about the loss of a black life. Her constituents murder many times more blax than any cop.

She's just out there pimping for votes. And, she'll get them. As long as she's "down with the bruthas", they don't care her motives.
