Louisville has experienced clashes between armed militia and Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters, reflecting broader demonstrations across American cities. These confrontations, often reported by news outlets like the Lexington Herald Leader, are largely fueled by calls for justice.

Specifically, protesters demand accountability for the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT, by Louisville Metro Police officers on March 13, 2020. In one notable incident, a heavily armed group calling themselves "American patriots" retreated from downtown after being confronted by BLM activists.
