The saga of pro-Black Lives Matter and pro-gun control activist Quintez Brown continued on Wednesday after he was bailed out of jail after being arrested for attempting to shoot Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg on Monday.
WHAS11 News reporter Rachel Droze said she spoke with the BLM Louisville chapter who said they were in the process of getting a cashier's check to post Brown’s $100,000 bail. The money used to bail Brown came from the Louisville Community Bail Fund.

BLM Louisville defended the decision to help bail out Brown by responding to Councilman Anthony Piagentini's criticism by stating: "When the bail was raised mental health resources were basicslly denied. @LouCommBailFund did that. He will get the help he deserves. Serve your city!"
No you are and folks like you who don't do anything to address a system that is actually killing people. When the bail was raised mental health resources were basicslly denied. @LouCommBailFund did that. He will get the help he deserves. Serve your city! https://t.co/ZlLCIAdTGY
