LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville Metro Police said 87 people were arrested during a demonstration at the home of Kentucky's attorney general.
Protesters with the social justice organization Until Freedom gathered for a sit-in on the front lawn of the St. Matthews area home owned by Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The group said the demonstration was not a protest or rally, but a call to action seeking justice in the shooting death of Taylor at the hands of LMPD officers. Some of the protesters came to Louisville from as far away as New York and Atlanta.
"We know what it is like trying to get accountability from a police force that has 39,000 officers. What better way can we stand in solidarity than come out here and make sure we're supporting our brothers and sisters and how to non-violently demand justice," Charlene Pinto said.
...
In a statement Wednesday, LMPD spokeswoman Jessie Halladay said officers at Cameron's house made the decision to issue felony charges against the protesters in part because of demonstrators "chanting that if they didn’t get what they want they would burn it down."
"That was deemed an attempt to intimidate, persuade or influence the Attorney General’s decision," Halladay said in the statement.
Among those arrested was "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Williams, 39. She was booked at Metro Corrections and is facing the same charges given to all other protesters. Williams was set to appear in arraignment court Wednesday morning, according to a booking report.

None of this stuff is spontaneous - it is all well funded and organized from afar.
Yep!
They should have been shot for tresspasing.
So what. Some leftist, criminal democrat DA will let them all go with no punishment.
JoMa
Louisville has 39,000 police officers??!!? I think NYC only has 36,000!

Yep. These domestic terrorists should be hit with conspiracy charges, etc.
Actually. Someone REALLY does need to be locked up for smoking this gal.
No knock warrants are garbage.
Good times for Bail Bondsmen.
“Porsha Williams”
Porsha? Misspelling for Porsche on her birth certificate?
I really hate this doxxing crap. I think it started in Wisconsin when the unions sent goons out to terrorize reps families during the debates on a right to work bill.
Thank goodness the bad guys are dumb.
This protesting and vandalism at people’s houses, no matter which party, is a bridge too far. It makes me sick, yet I doubt the toothpaste can be put back in the tube as far as civility is concerned.
Forget Gen Z, it’s the Dox generation.
“They should have been shot for tresspasing.

” She was booked at Metro Corrections and is facing the same charges given to all other protesters. “
Why wouldn’t she be?
A modest home.
Surprised to see an American flag among the protesters.
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Williams: Do you know who I am?
I doubt there's that many in the entire state!
