		</div><p>A diverse crowd of hundreds marched in Louisville’s streets chanting “Black Lives Matter” on Saturday night, the fourth night of protests after a grand jury declined to charge officers in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor.</p>
<p>People in the crowd also chanted “No Justice, No peace” as cars honked along a busy downtown artery in this Kentucky city that has seen more than 120 days of demonstrations over the death of the 26-year-old black woman in a police raid gone wrong.</p>
<p>A few police cars followed behind, with officers telling protesters to stay on the sidewalk and out of the street before the march ended.</p>
<p>Many briefly ended up back at a downtown square that has been a focal point of protests.</p>
<p>But as a 9pm curfew time approached, a police loudspeaker announced that anyone who remained in the park would be arrested for a curfew violation.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The square emptied out as people departed, many dispersing though one group headed to a nearby church where protesters had found refuge on previous nights.</p>
<p>A previous protest on Friday night was peaceful though police arrested 22 people for curfew violations. A police spokesman said some also were charged with failure to disperse.</p>
<p>Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer had urged continued peaceful protests in an appearance at a news conference Saturday evening.</p>
<p>“I’m mindful that many in our community are hurting and angry about the decisions announced this week,” Mr Fischer said.</p>
<p>The mayor said he supports protesters’ First Amendment rights to protest though “we just ask you to do that peacefully please”.</p>
<p>Taylor was shot multiple times on March 13 after her boyfriend fired at officers who had entered her home during a narcotics raid by white officers, authorities said.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>Taylor’s boyfriend said he did not know who was coming in and fired in self-defence, wounding one officer.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced a grand jury indicted one officer on wanton endangerment charges, saying he fired gunshots into a neighbouring home during the raid that did not strike anyone. That officer has been fired.</p>
<p>Mr Cameron said the other officers were not charged with Taylor’s killing because they acted to protect themselves.</p>
<p>Taylor’s mother, Tamika Palmer, visited a downtown park on Friday with family and her lawyers, and called on Kentucky officials to release all body camera footage, police files and the transcripts of the grand jury proceedings.</p>
<p>Ms Palmer said in a statement read by a family member that she felt the criminal justice system had failed her.</p>
