New York City imposed an 11 p.m. curfew Monday amid protests over George Floyd's death
New York City imposed an 11 p.m. curfew Monday as the nation's biggest city tried to head off another night of destruction erupting amid protests over George Floyd's death.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, had previously rejected imposing a curfew, as many other cities across the U.S. have done to try to curb violence that erupted amid demonstrations following Floyd's May 25 death. Groups of people poured down the sidewalks in Soho and other neighborhoods including Union Square, breaking into Rolex, Kate Spade and Prada boutiques and electronics stores that have been shuttered for over two months because of the coronavirus.
An arrest report obtained by the New York Post said Chiara de Blasio, 25, refused to leave a Manhattan street that officers were clearing Saturday because people were throwing things. Chiara de Blasio, who is black, was later given a court summons and released. On Sunday, New York City police made some gestures of solidarity with marchers during the day. Some officers knelt with protesters in an intersection as an organizer called out the names of people killed by police.
