\nArmed members of the “NAFC” march through downtown toward the Hall of Justice in Louisville, Ky., Saturday, July 25, 2020.<\/em><\/p>\n

A group of heavily armed protesters marched through Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, a Black woman killed in March by police officers who burst into her apartment.<\/p>\n

Scores of the armed demonstrators, carrying semi-automatic rifles and shotguns and clad in black paramilitary gear, walked to a fenced off intersection where they were separated by police from a smaller group of armed counter-protesters.<\/p>\n

The Black militia named the Not Fucking Around Coalition (NFAC) want justice for Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician who died when drug investigators executed a \u201cno-knock\u201d warrant on her Louisville home four months ago. No drugs were found.<\/p>\n

One police officer involved in the raid was fired by the city\u2019s police department in June. Two other officers have been placed on administrative reassignment. No criminal charges have been filed against any of the three.<\/p>\n

The leader of the NFAC group, John \u201cGrandmaster Jay\u201d Johnson, called on officials to speed up the investigation into her death and to be more transparent.<\/p>\n

Three people were injured in Baxter Square Park, police said.<\/h3>\n

Gunshots erupted during a planned protest in Louisville, Ky., Saturday and three members of the heavily armed militia group, the \u201cNot F—ing Around Coalition\u201d (NFAC), were injured by shots fired from one of their own member’s guns, police told Fox News.<\/p>\n

The shooting took place near Baxter Square Park around 1 p.m. and all of the victims were transported to the University of Louisville Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) told Fox News.<\/p>\n

Protesters ducked behind cars and scattered to flee the area, a reporter from WHAS11 wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n

One of the members of the NFAC spoke to throngs of protesters and said \u201cwe had a little accident, it happens,\u201d the reporter said.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, officers from the LMPD were on high alert, aware of the possibility of violence from highly armed militants dressed in all black — many of whom are not from Kentucky — claiming they are defending the Constitution and decrying the death of Breonna Taylor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Keeping yer booger-hook off of the bang switch stops these “little accidents” AKA Negligent Discharges, from happening too. Idiot. Read the rest here: Fox News<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
