| 0:00.0 | All right, thank you, Anderson. We're monitoring the situation right now. I appreciate your cover. |
| 0:04.0 | I am Chris Cuomo. Welcome to Primetime protests on the street of Louisville after a grand jury |
| 0:10.0 | today brought down an indictment in the Breonna Taylor case without any impact on Breonna Taylor |
| 0:17.5 | directly. Nothing to do with her killing. Now, is that the right call legally? I'll take you through |
| 0:24.8 | it. It's not simple, but it is simple politically and it is deeply unsatisfying for many. A curfew is |
| 0:32.4 | starting right now. We know terrible news. A police officer has been shot tonight. What are the |
| 0:40.0 | circumstances who did it? We're working on that. We pray that they are okay. We're going to try |

| 1:43.9 | accept why the police were justified in not just shooting, but killing a non-shooter. Breonna |
| 1:52.9 | Taylor was an innocent third party by all accounts. So here we are once again. Streets filling |
| 2:02.0 | with people who are outraged who don't understand, who need counsel, who need guidance. |
| 2:08.4 | And in the absence of that, we must have concern of what happens next. It's not just coming from me. |
| 2:17.4 | It's a word of caution from a legend of the civil rights era. Listen. |
| 2:23.6 | Environmental sponsors of Chicago would be a mistake, would be a commercial for Trump. We can't |
| 2:28.5 | do that. It was me smothered enough, not to turn our anguish and anger into self-disception. |
