“It will save lives, and it will move us in the right direction. I know more needs to be done. I know the fight is not over.”
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has signed a bill limiting no-knocks warrants in the state, more than a year after the deadly shooting of Breonna Taylor. The bill signed Friday by the Democratic governor is not the total statewide ban that activists have been pushing for since demonstrations following the tragic death of Taylor began taking place last year. But it’ll only permit no-knock warrants if there is “clear and convincing evidence” of a violent crime. The new law also doesn’t prevent cities and towns from banning the warrant completely, according to The Associated Press.
