WARNING: Graphic Language
Riots erupted in Louisville, Kentucky for a second day following the announcement that no officers would be charged in the police shooting of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old woman who died in March after her boyfriend opened fire on police officers who knocked and announced their entry before executing a search warrant at Taylor's apartment.
After rioters set fires and two police officers were shot on Wednesday night, a 9 p.m. curfew was strictly enforced in Louisville on Thursday. Black Lives Matter rioters smashed the windows of businesses on Thursday and threw a flare inside the city library. A short time later, the curfew was strictly enforced with those refusing to leave being arrested and taken to jail.
The roaming mob found refuge at a church that opened its doors to demonstrators in an attempt to deem the riot a religious gathering and circumvent the curfew. Only minutes later organizers were threatening to beat up all the white people who didn't leave immediately.

A Church in Louisville opened its grounds to protesters to help them avoid arrest during the curfew.
