Estimated 2,000 gather at Barclays Center to protest Breonna Taylor killing

Brooklyn’s “accidental town square” —the entrance plaza outside Barclays Center— once again was a gathering spot for peaceful protests Wednesday night, this time in reaction to Kentucky prosecutors’ failure to charge any of the Louisville police who fired six bullets into EMT tech Breonna Taylor, killing her on March 13.

The crowd was estimated at around 2,000, the New York Times reported.

The plaza, with its broad expanse and multiple transit connections, was the scene of protests for several nights at the end of May and beginning of June following the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis.
