>> BEAUTIFUL. FOR ALL THESE RECIPES GO ONLINE.
>>>
>>> IF
>>> IF YOU LIVE IN, AROUND, OR ANYWHERE NEARLY THE KENTUCKY
YOU KNOW THERE'S A GROUP
HEADING TO TOWN THIS MORNING.
YOU ARE TALKING WITH METRO
COUNCIL.
COUNCIL.
COUNCIL. WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS
GROUP.
GROUP.
GROUP. >>
GROUP. >> I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. I
THEM. I WAS FIRST INTRODUCED TO THE
LEADER OF THE GROUP LAST WEEK,
IN A PHONE CONFERENCE.
IN WHICH HE WAS SAYING THAT HE
WAS GOING TO COME TO
LOUISVILLE.
LOUISVILLE. AND EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO SET
UP A MEETING WITH HIM BY PHONE
WITH DANIEL CAMERON THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL HE IS THE
LEADER OF THE GROUP A PERSON BY
THE NAME OF GRAND MASTER JAY.
SO, HE IS VERY MUCH FOCUSED ON
THE INVESTIGATION OF BREONNA
TAYLOR.
TAYLOR.
TAYLOR. THERE WAS A TRAGIC INCIDENT WHY
IT WAS TAKING SO LONG FOR THEM
TO BE A VERDICT OR RENDERING
FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AS
WHAT IT RELATES TO THAT
INVESTIGATION.
INVESTIGATION. >> WE HAVE SEEN A VARIETY OF
DIFFERENT GROUPS.
DIFFERENT GROUPS. THEY HAVE SELF DESCRIBED THEM AS
BLACK MILITIA.
BLACK MILITIA. ARE YOU CONCERNED, AT ALL,
ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING PART OF
CONFERENCE CALLS WITH THE
LEADER OF THE GROUP AND ARE
ATTORNEY GENERAL AND KENTUCKY?
>> I'M CONCERNED ANY TIME A
GROUP OF PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO
COME TO OUR CITY FROM OUT OF
TOWN TO PROTEST.
ESPECIALLY, CARRYING WEAPONS.
NO MATTER WHO THAT GROUP IS.
I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT ANY
COUNTER PROTESTERS THAT MAY
SHOW UP CARRYING PROTESTERS
WEAPONS.
WEAPONS.
WEAPONS. IT CREATES THE POTENTIAL FOR
ANYTHING TO GO WRONG.
I RECOGNIZE THAT BECAUSE THE
CONSTITUTION THAT PEOPLE HAVE
THE RIGHT TO PROTEST.
BECAUSE OF OUR STATE LAWS,
PEOPLE ALSO THE RIGHTS TO CARRY
WEAPONS.
WEAPONS.
WEAPONS. SO, IT CREATES A STRANGE
CONCURRENCE OF PUBLIC POLICY.
THAT'S WHERE YOU FIND
YOURSELVES TODAY
YOURSELVES TODAY >> WHAT ABOUT THE CITY IN
GENERAL?
GENERAL?
GENERAL? EITHER SAFETY MEASURES BEING
TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. THEY HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. THEY ARE IN CONTACT WITH THOSE
COUNTER PROTESTERS THAT PLAN TO
SHOW UP AS WELL.
THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH
EACH OF THOSE GROUPS TO TRY TO
MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY
INVOLVED IS SAFE.
>> LIKE YOU SAID EARLIER,
PEOPLE ARE PROTESTING.
IT IS A RIGHT.
AS SOMEBODY WHO LIVES IN THIS
AREA, I MEAN, JUST A CITIZEN.
WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
THERE ARE A LOT OF US WHO ARE
VERY SUPPORTIVE OF PEOPLE
PROTESTING.
PROTESTING. BUT IT IS DISCONCERTING.
WHEN PEOPLE COME FROM OUT OF
TOWN AND THE GREAT UNKNOWN.
THERE HAVE BEEN THE VIDEOS LIKE
YOU SAID, OF PROTESTERS.
EVEN IF YOU SUPPORT WHAT IS
HAPPENING.
HAPPENING. IT IS REALLY AN UNKNOWN.
PEOPLE ARE VERY NERVOUS ABOUT
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. IT
THAT. IT CREATES AN UNEASINESS
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
THAT'S WHY BEEN VERY INTENT ON
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT MAKING
SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS
THAT THEY HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE
JUST TO KEEP EVERYBODY SAFE.
>> CAN WE TALK IN GENERAL, JUST
FOR A MOMENT, THE DAYS FOR
MARCH 13 WHEN BREONNA TAYLOR
WAS KILLED I MEAN, IT JUST
SEEMS LIKE THERE IS NEVER
ENDING.
ENDING.
ENDING. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN IN
FACT YOU MAY NEED SOME ANSWERS
FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
OFFICE?
OFFICE?
OFFICE? AND THEN A PLAN TO MOVE
FORWARD?
FORWARD?
FORWARD? >> I DON'T.
I WANT EVERYBODY TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THE
TRAGIC INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED
ON MARCH 14 HOWEVER, THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL DIDN'T GET THE
ENTIRE CASE FILED UNTIL ABOUT
3.5 WEEKS AGO.
SO, THAT IS GOING TO TAKE A
LITTLE BIT OF TIME FOR THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE TO BE
ABLE TO DO A COMPLETE
INVESTIGATION WHOSE DOING AN
INVESTIGATION DURING THE
POSSIBILITY OF CIVIL RIGHTS.
IT WILL TAKE TIME AND REQUIRES
PATIENCE AND I'M RUNNING OUT OF
IT.
IT.
IT. I'M
IT. I'M SURE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
OFFICE IS CALLING THOSE THINGS.
HOW CLOSE ARE YOU?
SO NO, WE DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER
YET.
YET.
YET. AT
YET. AT THIS POINT, THEY REFUSED TO
GIVE A TIMELINE OTHER THAN TO
SAY, HE IS COMMITTED TREMENDOUS
AMOUNT OF RESOURCES TO GETTING
THIS CASE COMPLETED.
>> JUST HEARING YOU SAY THAT, I
MEAN THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE
ARE REALLY UNDERSTANDING
BECAUSE THAT WAS A LONG TIME
AGO.
AGO.
AGO. AT
AGO. AT LEAST IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S THE
MOST OF US.
3.5 WEEKS TO CONDUCT THAT
INVESTIGATION IS THAT TIME.
WHEN YOU WILL I'M NOT, IT'S
BETTER THAN US.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY, THEY
DID IT WITH THE GEORGE FLOYD
CASE.
CASE.
CASE. WELL, WE HAD THE BENEFIT OF
BODY CAMERAS AND VIDEO.
THIS IS THE SAME WITH GREGORY.
ALSO WITH THE SHOOTING IN
ATLANTA IN THIS CASE.
IT'S DUE TO POOR LEADERSHIP.
WE DO NOT HAVE VIDEO OF THIS.
SO IT HAS TO BE DONE THE OLD-
FASHIONED WAY.
FASHIONED WAY. INTERVIEWS, RECONSTRUCTION,
INTERVIEWS, RECONSTRUCTION, FOLLOW-UP INTERVIEWS,
FOLLOW-UP INTERVIEWS, BALLISTICS, ANALYSIS.
BALLISTICS, ANALYSIS. THEY ARE PUTTING IN THAT
PICTURE OF WHAT TRULY HAPPENED
THAT FATEFUL EVENING.
>> DID YOU HAVE ANY OTHER
WORDS, ESPECIALLY, FOR THE
CITIZENS WHO YOU SERVE AS METRO
COUNCIL?
COUNCIL?
COUNCIL? >> I WOULD SIMPLY SAY TO
EVERYBODY, THIS IS AN UNEASY
TIME.
TIME.
TIME. IT
TIME. IT IS A TIME OF CHANGE.
IT IS ALSO A TIME OF CIVIL
UNREST AND PROTEST.
WE ARE ALL GOING TO HAVE
PARTICULAR FEELINGS ABOUT HOW
ALL OF IT GOES.
AND, WHEN WE GET TO THE OTHER
SIDE OF THIS, I PREDICT THAT
OUR CITY WILL BE MUCH BETTER
THAN IT WAS.
I PREDICT OUR STATE WILL NEED
MUCH BETTER THAN IT WAS.
I BELIEVE OUR COUNTRY WILL BE
MUCH BETTER THAN IT WAS.
BUT WE ARE GOING TO SHED SOME
TEARS ALONG THE WAY.
CHANGE NEVER CAME EASY.
SO, IN THE END, I FEEL LIKE WE
ARE GOING TO LOVE EACH OTHER
MORE.
MORE.
MORE. SO,
MORE. SO, FOR THOSE WHO ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT THIS, I BELIEVE THAT IN
MY HEART THAT WE WILL HAVE A
PEACEFUL PROTEST.
PEACEFUL PROTEST. MY CONVERSATIONS WITH GRAND
MASTER JAY MADE ME FEEL VERY
ASSURED THAT HE WAS INTENT ON
HAVING A PEACEFUL PROTEST.
SO, WE WILL GO THROUGH THIS
WEEKEND.
WEEKEND.
WEEKEND. I HAVE GREAT FAITH IN THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
POLICE DEPARTMENT. JUST MAKING SURE THAT OUR CITY
AND WE ARE ALL SAFE.
>> I APPRECIATE YOU BEING NOT
ONLY SO CANDID
