Hundreds took to the streets Wednesday to protest the grand jury ruling in the police killing of Breonna Taylor, who was killed by Louisville police officers serving a no-knock warrant in March.

No officer was charged with killing Taylor, but grand jurors indicted a former detective for threatening the lives of people who lived next to Taylor by firing bullets that landed in their home. Protesters walked from the Department of Justice to the White House throughout the evening.
