Thousands of people in the U.S. city of Louisville, in Kentucky, are staging protests after authorities announced that no one would be charged with the death of a black woman, Breonna Taylor, in a police shooting in March.
Brett Hankison, one of the three police officers who raided Taylor's apartment, has been indicted for "wanton endangerment" because his bullets targeted a neighboring apartment.
These local residents gave their reaction to the grand jury decision.

"Angry, very angry, very upset. Basically everything that's going on right now, I'm sure a lot of people are let down hearing what they heard. I just hope it doesn't turn into anger and hope there will be peace."

The officers say that they knocked.
Witnesses though say they didn't announce who they were.
The boyfriend of Breonna Taylor thought they were intruders in the home.
He was a licensed gun owner and he fired first.
The attorney general said they were justified in firing back.
They had been carrying out a drug raid.
There were no drugs found on the premises and they were related to an ex-boyfriend of Breonna Taylor of two years earlier.
That's why people were expecting much more in terms of charges against these officers.
