People in Buffalo and around the country are protesting the grand jury decision in the death of Breonna Taylor at the hands of Louisville, Kentucky police. She was shot and killed in her own home on March 13, 2020, while police were serving a "no-knock" warrant. Her family and many people seeking justice for her death are unsatisfied with the charges against one officer, which aren't even related to her killing.
