Protests are on the rise in Louisville, according to Police
Jessie Halladay, special adviser to the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department, said protests in the city continue to escalate.
Halladay said that while the protests had started peacefully tonight, police now foresee property damage such as that seen in the protests in Louisville Thursday night.
According to Halladay, there are significantly more people protesting tonight, and the Police Department believes that a large part of those protesting are not from Louisville.
The Police Department made two arrests and several small fires have been started, including an attempted fire at the Justice headquarters. Halladay said there was more graffiti and flag burning in the protests this Friday.
He also said that the protesters are armed with sticks, bottles, bats, shields and weapons, and have arrived well supplied with water and other supplies.
No significant damage has been reported so far, Halladay said.

Mayor of Atlanta: “This is not a protest … this is chaos”
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was visibly angry at a press conference during the Atlanta protests on Friday, telling protesters to “go home” after they became violent and a police officer was injured.
“What I see happening on the streets of Atlanta is not Atlanta. This is not a protest, this is not in the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. This is chaos. A protest has a purpose. When Dr. King was killed, we did not do this to our city, “he said. “If you want a change in the United States, go and register to vote … that’s the change we need in this country.”
He added: “If you care about this city, go home.”
