Thousands peacefully protest outside the Kentucky Derby This year's Kentucky Derby is a surreal distillation of the crises facing the country in 2020LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- An airplane circled above Churchill Downs on Saturday, flying a banner behind it: “Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor,” it said. Outside, thousands of protesters leaned into the gates, chanting Taylor’s name. They chanted “No justice, no Derby!” and carried signs imploring people to say Taylor’s name. The group marched in Louisville in July and an accidental shooting injured three members. On Saturday, about 100 members of the NFAC marched through but diverged from the large protest group and kept moving without incident.
