JEFF WALZ INTERVIEW 5/28/20
CALM DOWN
Last night, in downtown Louisville, a planned peaceful demonstration over the death of Metro EMT Breonna Taylor turned ugly. Seven people were shot, buildings were defaced, property destroyed and police arrived in riot gear to break up the proceedings.

This is not how we roll, Louisvillians.
With the weekend and nice weather approaching, we'll step outside of our normal role here of reporting on the joy and excitement of Louisville women's athletics today and make a plea.
Just calm down.
There is no need to resort to violence in our city. Words, ideas, thoughts and feelings being expressed are one thing. These things can be done peacefully. Be better than this, here in our beloved city. The parents of the late Breonna Taylor are asking that everyone remain peaceful as we work toward truth and justice.
Please heed the words of parents who have lost their child.
Black or white, young or old, we are all in this together. Spread love and understanding, not hate and violence.
