Protests in New York City after curfew

Demonstrations continued past the New York City’s imposed curfew of 8 p.m., even as Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio sought to deflect criticism over harsh tactics from police enforcing it. After curfew time, thousands of protesters were out, and so were police. In some places, they watched but didn't immediately move in, while in others, they made orderly arrests without the batons and riot gear of previous nights.

As darkness fell, cries of “George Floyd" and “No justice, no peace" continued to come from protesters, even as crowds shrank. The governor and mayor said protesters should abide by the 8 p.m. curfew put in place earlier this week to deter the violence, vandalism and destruction that followed protests Sunday and Monday nights.
