Two Louisville police officers were shot last night. Police say they do have a suspect in custody1 and that the officers' injuries are not life-threatening. This happened during protests demanding justice for Breonna Taylor. Yesterday, a grand jury declined to charge two officers who shot at Taylor in her home.
路易斯维尔市两名警察昨晚遭枪击。警方表示,他们拘留了一名嫌疑人,受伤警察没有生命危险。这起枪击事件发生在要求为布伦娜·泰勒伸张正义的抗议活动中。昨天,一个大陪审团拒绝对在泰勒家中开枪的两名警察提出起诉。
A third officer was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment of her neighbors. That officer, who has been dismissed, shot into nearby apartments. Police broke through Taylor's door in what they said was a late-night drug raid. Her boyfriend, thinking they were intruders, shot at them. And police fired at least 32 shots back, hitting Breonna Taylor six times and killing2 her. There have now been months of protest, including yesterday's.
另一名警察被控一级肆意危害泰勒的邻居。被起诉警察已遭开除,他的子弹射入了附近的公寓中。警方在他们称之为的深夜缉毒行动中破门闯入泰勒家中。她的男友以为警察是入侵者,遂向警方开枪。警察予以还击,至少开了32枪,致泰勒身中6枪死亡。包括昨天的抗议在内,这一事件所引发的抗议活动已经持续了数月之久。

UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTERS: Breonna Taylor.
身份不明的抗议者:布伦娜·泰勒。
UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTER: Say her name.
身份不明的抗议者:说出她的名字。
UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTERS: Breonna Taylor.
身份不明的抗议者:布伦娜·泰勒。
UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTER: Say her name.
身份不明的抗议者:说出她的名字。
KING: Stephanie Wolf of WFPL was there yesterday. She's with us now. Good morning, Stephanie.
金:WFPL成员站的斯蒂芬妮·沃尔夫昨天在抗议现场。现在她将和我们连线。早上好,斯蒂芬妮。
STEPHANIE WOLF, BYLINE3: Good morning.
斯蒂芬妮·沃尔夫连线:早上好。
KING: The city set a 9 o'clock p.m. curfew. Not everyone obeyed that curfew. What did you see in the streets yesterday?
金:路易斯维尔市规定晚上9点实施宵禁。但并不是所有人都遵守宵禁。你昨天在街上看到了什么?
WOLF: Yeah. Well, immediately following the announcement, protesters basically marched out of the downtown area. And they were met face-to-face with police. And arrests were made. Much later into the evening, there were small fires set around the hall of justice. And about 30 minutes before curfew is when the two officers were shot downtown. Police say one had to undergo surgery. And there were demonstrations4 that continued after the curfew.
沃尔夫:好。在大陪审团的决定宣布之后,抗议者的游行活动扩散到市中心之外的地区。他们与警方面对面对峙。警方逮捕了一些抗议者。傍晚时分,司法大厅附近区域遭纵火,不过火势较小。宵禁前30分钟,两名警察在市中心遭枪击。警方说其中一人必须接受手术。宵禁开始后示威活动仍在继续。
KING: So as you were out yesterday talking to protesters, what were they telling you?
金:你昨天采访了抗议者,他们说了什么?
WOLF: Well, this was not the news protesters were hoping for. A few told me it was insulting, especially that the one officer was indicted5 for endangering Taylor's neighbors and not for his involvement in her shooting death. I spoke6 with Louisville-based poet and activist7 Hannah Drake. She called the results a, quote, "joke."
沃尔夫:这不是抗议者期待的消息。一些人告诉我这是种侮辱,尤其是一名警察被起诉的原因是危害了泰勒的邻居,而不是因为他参与了泰勒枪杀案。我采访了路易斯维尔的诗人和活动家汉娜·德雷克。她把这一结果称为“笑话”。
HANNAH DRAKE: It's just another reminder8, as a Black woman, that my life does not matter in this city. It's just disappointing. This girl was in her house. She wasn't bothering anybody.
汉娜·德雷克:这再次提醒我们,作为黑人女性,我的生命在这个城市并不重要。真是太令人失望了。这个女孩在她家里。她没有打扰任何人。
KING: We are hearing a lot of heartbreak there from her and from others. I imagine these protests will continue.
金:我们从她和其他人那里听到很多令人心碎的消息。我想这些抗议活动还会继续下去。
WOLF: Yeah. I mean, yesterday marked the 119th consecutive9 day of protests in Louisville demanding justice for Taylor since late May. And what I repeatedly heard from protesters is that yesterday's announcement will not end the demonstrations. Here's Nicole Williams. She says she'll be out today and the next day.
沃尔夫:是的。昨天是路易斯维尔自5月底以来连续第119天举行抗议活动,要求为泰勒伸张正义。我反复从抗议者那里听到的是,昨天的声明不会结束示威。以下是妮可·威廉姆斯所说。她说她今天和明天都会参加抗议活动。
NICOLE WILLIAMS: However many days, I will be here. No justice, no peace. And there's still no justice. And until there's justice, there will be no peace, period.
妮可·威廉姆斯:不管抗议进行多少天,我都会参加。没有正义,就没有和平。现在还没有正义。除非实现正义,否则就不会有和平。
WOLF: So last week, the city settled a wrongful death lawsuit10 by Taylor's family. And as part of that settlement, the city committed to implementing11 a list of law enforcement reforms, like using a tracking system to flag officers who use excessive force or have citizen complaints. So protesters and residents are waiting for how much substantive12 change will be put in place now.
沃尔夫:上周,路易斯维尔市解决了泰勒家人提起的不当死亡诉讼。作为解决方案的一部分,该市承诺实施一系列执法改革,比如使用跟踪系统来标记过度使用武力或有市民投诉的警察。因此,抗议者和居民都在等待,看看会有多少实质性改变发生。
KING: Stephanie Wolf with WFPL in Louisville. Stephanie, thanks so much for your reporting on this one. We really appreciate it.
金:以上是WFPL成员站的斯蒂芬妮·沃尔夫从路易斯维尔带来的报道。斯蒂芬妮,非常感谢你的报道。非常感谢。
WOLF: Yeah. Thank you.
沃尔夫:谢谢。
