WARNING: Viewer discretion advised For those wondering why the video has no sound, LMPD said that is typical with surveillance video.LMPD officers and National Guardsmen were at 26th and Broadway to break up a large crowd that had formed at Dino's Food Mart after the curfew, according to Maj. Paul Humphrey. Two LMPD officers, Kate Crews and Allen Austin, were put on administrative leave following the incident.Officials learned Monday that the officers on scene that night either were not wearing body cameras or did not have them activated, so there is no footage available from their perspective.National Guard members have been in Louisville to help control protests in the city, which have gone on for the past five days. Those protests have been a call for justice in the recent deaths of black people, like Breonna Taylor, across the country. Taylor was shot and killed in her apartment in March as LMPD officers were attempting to serve a search warrant.
