Trayce Redd, activist and organizer, joins us to discuss the grand jury in the police killing of Breonna Taylor which found that the two officers who fired their weapons at Taylor were justified in using force to protect themselves after they faced gunfire from her boyfriend. The only charges were three counts of wanton endangerment against fired Officer Brett Hankison for shooting into a home next to Taylor’s with people inside. Activists across the country are outraged to say the least, taking to the streets in several US cities including New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Philadelphia. Protests in Louisville continued well into the evening despite city officials putting in place a 9 pm curfew.
