The Louisville Metro Council has unanimously voted 26-0 to pass “Breonna’s Law” on Thursday. The ordinance completely bans LMPD from using no-knock warrants in Jefferson County: "No Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) police officer, Louisville Metro Department of Corrections (LMDC) officer, or any other Metro law enforcement or public safety official shall seek, execute, or participate in the execution of a no-knock warrant at any location within the boundaries of #JeffersonCounty." It was sponsored by councilwomen Jessica Green and Barbara Sexton-Smith. They've called it Breonna's Law in reference to #BreonnaTaylor, who's death ignited the call for a change in policy. This type of warrant was requested for the night her apartment was raided back in March. The raid ended with her being fatally shot multiple times by police. None of the three officers involved were wearing body cameras. Following Thursday's vote, Tamika Palmer, Breonna's mother spoke to the Metro Council. The original proposal for the ordinance did not totally ban this type of warrant, but rather sought to limit their use. The ACLU had been pushing for the ordinance to go further. In a statement following its passing, the organization applauded Metro Council for answering people's calls for "urgent and meaningful change," but also said the ban should expand to include all law enforcement agencies in Jefferson County. "These deadly warrants put innocent people at grave risk, including law enforcement officers. This ordinance is an important step, but it’s only the first step in a series of desperately needed changes to address police abuse of power and excessive force against Black people," ACLU-KY Policy Strategist Keturah Herron said. Hundreds of protesters filled the streets ahead of the vote. The organized rally was called "#NoMoreNoKnocks." This was their reaction when the vote was announced: Thursday marks the 15th day protesters have filled streets in downtown Louisville. www.wlky.com/article/metro-council-to-vote-thursday-on-changes-to-no-knock-warrants-breonna-taylor/32841311 #breonnaslaw https://www.instagram.com/p/CBUGvXvgxWT/?igshid=15b9av2rdpcnz
