Diners at a Florida restaurant were harassed by protesters who took to the streets on Wednesday night to demonstrate after a Kentucky grand jury's decision not to indict any police officers over the death of Breonna Taylor.
Video footage shows protesters joining the table of a couple in St Petersburg who quickly tried to have them removed as the demonstrators threaten to 'knock your old-ass boyfriend the fuck out.'
Protesters took to the streets of Louisville, New York City, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver, Dallas, Oakland, and other major cities to vent their anger over the decision not to prosecute any officers for murder in the fatal March shooting of the 26-year-old EMT from Louisville.
In Seattle, video showed a protester hitting a cop around the head with a metal baseball bat, as the officer used pepper spray to try to escape the crowd that surrounded them.
Elsewhere in Denver, a car rammed into a crowd of protesters throwing one woman on the hood of the vehicle.
Police in Portland, Oregon declared a riot late on Wednesday after protesters damaged a police building in unrest that followed the grand jury decision.
One of the protesters hurled a homemade firebomb or Molotov cocktail towards police officers outside of the precinct, a video shared by Portland police on Twitter showed.
Hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn, New York City, on Wednesday night.
'Forget 'turn the other cheek,' we're way past that, it's 'eye for an eye' now,' a man on a megaphone said. His comments were reported by journalist Nick Pinto on his Twitter feed.
A black police officer at a Black Lives Matter rally in Los Angeles maintained his composure as demonstrators hurled profanities and taunts at the cop.
Videos circulating around social media shows a group of masked agitators shouting at the officer, who manages to keep a straight face as the abuse is screamed at him.
At various points in the clip, the group can be heard calling the
officer a 'bitch,' as they rag on him for being a 'nigga' in the police
force.
The demonstrators had taken to the LAPD precinct for their protest, with several seen pulling at the fence used to protect the building.
