How they died
Deadly force
During the demonstrations against police violence after the death of George Floyd and Breeona Taylor, Louisville officers and National Guard soldiers enforcing the curfew were sent to a business around 12:15 a.m. to break up a crowd in the parking lot. David "YaYa" McAtee was serving barbecue at what unbeknownst to police was a weekly neighborhood event. Police and National Guard fired pepper balls into the crowd, one nearly struck McAtee's niece. McAtee grabbed a gun and fired a warning shot into the air. A National Guard soldier shot and killed him.
