Kentucky Derby expected to draw demonstrators demanding answers in Breonna Taylor's death.
"The community in general overwhelmingly supports having the Derby," Carstanjen said."That doesn't mean that we're not sensitive and a part of the dialogue on the social and racial equality issues in our community and in our society."
"They're willing to use their power and authority to make sure that their way of life is not disrupted, and the Kentucky Derby is part of that," Chenault said."They're asking us to trade money for our lives." Referring to the Louisville Metro Police Department, Porter added,"As for the protests, LMPD is preparing for every eventuality, with the expectation that any protests are peaceful and lawful."
"The betrayal is like a cloud over the city — when you have a mayor who won on the backs of the Black vote, we had expectations of him, and he let us down," Reynolds said."We believe he had enough information to terminate the officers, but instead he made a call that wasn't in our interest and wasn't in the interest of the city.
