(AP Photo/Dylan Lovan)LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A settlement between the family of Breonna Taylor and the city of Louisville could bring wide-ranging reforms to how police officers live and work, changes that would represent a rare outcome in a police misconduct lawsuit. And a legal expert noted that even the most wide-ranging of reforms won't succeed if the people entrusted with implementing them aren't onboard. The city of Louisville passed a new law earlier this year, named after Taylor, that bans the use of no-knock warrants. Tamika Mallory is among numerous activists in Louisville who say police reforms will be meaningless if the officers involved in Taylor's death aren't charged.

She would be so happy.The law bans the use of the warrants by Louisville Metro officers. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul also introduced federal legislation Thursday that would ban the use of no-knock warrants nationwide. No-knock warrants are not tools that officers have to use with any regularity to get their job done, Green said.

The city of Louisville, Kentucky, plans to reach out for an independent review of its police department amid protests that erupted over the deaths of black people during encounters with police, the mayor said Wednesday.

Fischer said the outside review will focus on such issues as police training, use of force, bias-free policing, accountability and community engagement. The evaluation will include listening sessions to gather input from a cross-section of the community, the mayor said.

The new policy requires Louisville's police chief to sign off on all no-knock warrants before they go to a judge. Lemp family attorney Rene Sandler said police began using no-knock warrants decades ago as a tool in the nations war on drugs. He said police are adept at working around restrictions and tailoring paperwork to suit the standards of judges issuing search warrants. Banning no-knock warrants, if any jurisdiction can pull that off, is an important step, Kraska said. These different groups that normally would be at odds with one another all agree on the inappropriateness of no-knock warrants, he added.

The use of nonlethal force on the WAVE-TV crew happened the same day CNN employees were arrested live on air while covering protests in Minnesota.
