A protest in Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday night, on the one-year anniversary of the death of Breonna Taylor, was declared an unlawful assembly, according to police.
Some protesters, while armed, blocked vehicular traffic and forced motorists to turn around, the Louisville Metro Police Department wrote in a Twitter message. Arrests will be made to those that refuse to disperse, the police message said.
The tweet included a photo of protesters gathered along the city’s Ohio River waterfront.
No arrests had been made as of 11 p.m., police spokesman Dwight Mitchell told Louisville FOX station WDRB-TV. He added that police had not needed to use tear gas or any other chemical agents on the crowd.
