Protests erupt in U.S. after grand jury clears 2 officers of charges

CGTN published this video item, entitled “Protests erupt in U.S. after grand jury clears 2 officers of charges” – below is their description.

For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Outrage is sweeping across the United States, after a Kentucky grand jury ruled that none of the three white officers involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor would be charged for causing her death. One officer was indicted on charges of endangering her neighbors. A statewide 72-hour curfew is currently in place in Louisville. Two officers were shot shortly after the curfew came into effect. Authorities say both are in stable condition. It’s been over six months since the 26-year-old Black woman was shot dead in a police raid in her apartment over a drug trafficking investigation. Taylor’s death became a symbol during months of daily protests against racial injustice and police brutality in cities across the U.S.
