Kentucky bill criminalizing taunts against police stalls

FRANKFORT, Ky (AP) � A bill that would make it a crime to taunt a police officer in Kentucky has stalled in the state’s House of Representatives and appears unlikely to pass.

The fate of a proposal to ban no-knock warrants statewide is less certain more than one year after the police killing of Breonna Taylor.

A partial ban on no-knock warrants passed the Kentucky Senate last month, but two representatives have proposed amendments that some warn would nullify the bill.

GOP Senate President Robert Stivers has said there is a chance Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear would sign it into law if a bipartisan consensus is met.
