The mostly-white armed militia has left downtown Louisville. LMPD arrives on the scene with only Black Lives Matter protesters remaining
Louisville police are outfitted in riot gear with pepper ball guns and long clubs
Cops have filed out
Louisville police say they had most of their resources at Churchill Downs and that's why they weren't around when the militia was gathering in Cox Park at 8:00 am/marching on downtown.

Officers suddenly showed up after militia left and it was only BLM downtown.
LMPD says "it wasn't safe" for them to try and break up the skirmish/shoutfest between militia/BLM downtown "we did not want to escalate the situation with police presence."

LMPD has not been shy about breaking up much more peaceful protests than this earlier.
