The crowd of protesters in Louisville Thursday was just as big as the night before.

There were protests in cities across the country last night, and more are likely this weekend,

after what happened in Kentucky on Wednesday.

That's when the state attorney general announced there would be no charges against any officers

for the shooting death of Breonna Taylor during a botched narcotics raid.

Taylor was 26 years old. The only charges brought were against one officer

who shots went into another apartment.

I was reassured Wednesday of why I have no faith in the legal system,

in the police, in the law that are not made to protect us black and brown people.

But when I speak on it, I'm considering an angry black woman.

But know this, I am angry black.

Taylor's aunt, Bianca Austin, read a statement today in Louisville on behalf of her sister,

Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer.

I'm angry because our children are dying at the hands of police officers.

And I'm angry because this nation is learning that our black women,

dying at the hands of police officers, and this is not okay.

Consider this.

A national movement that sought justice for Breonna Taylor was embraced by celebrities,

NBA stars, and some powerful politicians.

They did not get what they were looking for. So what now?
