Gov. Beshear began by speaking about the search for justice for Breonna Taylor, a Louisville woman whose death touched off the protests there, as well as the death of restaurant owner David McAtee.
"Yesterday, I met with Breonna Taylor's mother before she came up here. I sat and I listened. What I heard was a mother in pain. She wants justice and the truth. She deserves both," the Governor said. "Breonna's death along with others across the country have led to thousands of people giving voice and a demand for truly equal treatment under the law and an end to injustices that permeate almost every part of our society."
Beshear said the state will be reducing the National Guard presence in Louisville.
"That is a recommendation by our adjutant general that we will be following," said Beshear.
