Louisville police enact emergency rules as Breonna Taylor grand jury decision looms

Louisville’s police are operating under "state of emergency" rules as the city awaits a grand jury decision in the case of Breonna Taylor, an emergency medical technician who died in a police raid at her apartment earlier this year.

Louisville Metropolitan Police Chief Robert J. Schroeder told officers the department the guidelines would be effective immediately, according to an internal memo obtained by NBC News.

“In anticipation of Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s announcement in the Breonna Taylor case, I am declaring a state of emergency for the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD),” the memo said.
