Kentucky lawmaker who proposed "Breonna's Law" to end no-knock warrants statewide arrested at Louisville protest

BY APRIL SIESE

UPDATED ON: SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 / 12:56 AM / CBS NEWS

A Kentucky lawmaker who proposed a statewide law to end "no-knock" search warrants was arrested during protests in Louisville on Thursday night, CBS affiliate WLKY confirmed. State Representative Attica Scott, who pre-filed legislation for Breonna's Law in August, was taken into custody near a church that was considered a sanctuary for protesters.

More than 100 people took to the streets of Louisville on Thursday, including Taylor's mother Tamika Palmer, a day after a grand jury chose not to indict police officers in the death of Breonna Taylor. Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician, was killed by police during a drug raid on her home in March.

My son and I got to hear her speak along with our U.S. Rep. Yarmuth at an ACLU-connected meeting a couple of years ago. We are very lucky to have both of them as public servants.

Police are trying to charge her with a felony but I don't see any way that could stick.
