Linda Sarsour, co-founder of social justice organization Until Freedom, which led the protest along with The Grassroots Law Project, said they marched to Cameron’s house to show their seriousness about their demands for justice for the 26-year-old EMT.

“We will not allow him to continue to delay this process in hopes that the protesters will go away, in hopes that the national attention on Breonna Taylor will go away. We believe that our action today will send a pressure point to the administration that they have to move quickly and that if they don't move quickly, we will come with triple and quadruple the number of people we will have today," Sarsour, who was also arrested, told WLKY.

The Grassroots Law Project said its legal observers were at the demonstration to record the protest, monitor for civil rights violations and help protect the participants.

The Louisville Metro Police Department said that the 87 people arrested were charged with intimidating a participant in a legal process and criminal trespassing.

Cameron requested that officers remove protesters from his property on the grounds they were trespassing, reports TMZ.

The LMPD said protesters were given the opportunity to leave and were told that they would be breaking the law if they remained.

"The protestors chose to occupy the front yard of a home owned by the Kentucky Attorney General and continuously chant towards he and his neighbors. At his request, they were trespassed from the property,” an LMPD representative said in a statement to Entertainment Tonight. “All were given the opportunity to leave, were told that remaining on the property would be unlawful, and chose not to leave.”

Demonstrators clapped as officers arrested people and hauled them away.

Williams’ sister, Lauren, said the 39-year-old is fearless.

"She takes the case of #breonnataylor personally and she’s sacrificing work, time with her loved ones, and her comfort to make sure the offenders are held accountable for their actions. This is her passion, this is her purpose," Lauren wrote on Instagram.
