Cuomo, De Blasio Announce Citywide Curfew After Peaceful George Floyd Protests Spiral Into Chaos
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a citywide curfew from 11 p.m.-5 a.m. following Sunday’s destruction in SoHo. After a day of largely peaceful protests, luxury stores were looted and fires were set in the streets.
“Last night was a bad night in New York City,” the governor said. “It’s New York City, where I do believe there are people who use the chaos of the moment. It’s an opportunity. If you want to steal, that’s the night to do it. If you are an extremist group, and you want to preach anarchy, that’s the night to do it.”
The NYPD will double its presence in areas that have been hit with violence, property damage and looting, especially Lower Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn.
