Hundreds of demonstrators march through Louisville, Kentucky, USA - they want to arrive at a church on time.

Because the local police imposed a curfew from 9 p.m. on the second night in a row.

The parish allows people to demonstrate on their property - the curfew does not apply here. 

The people of Louisville are protesting after another case of police violence.

The black paramedic Breonna Taylor was shot dead during a police operation in her own apartment in March.

Kentucky Supreme Justice ruled Wednesday not to charge three white police officers with the fatal shots.

It was about self-defense.

The decision sparked sadness and anger in the city.

There have been clashes between the police and demonstrators for days. 

In other cities too, like here in Portland, people took to the streets out of solidarity.

The police used tear gas. There were violent scenes. 

Protesters set street barricades on in Seattle, Washington state. 

As here in New York, the protests are mostly peaceful. 

After the mass protests following the violent death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, the "Breonna Taylor" case raises the issue of "police violence against blacks" in the United States, with demonstrations continuing intermittently in some cities for months.
