New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has extended a citywide curfew to a second night after more looting erupted in midtown Manhattan.
The original curfew was imposed from 11 p.m. Monday to 5 a.m. after weekend protests of the death of George Floyd led to violence in New York City.
The police department sent 8,000 officers into the streets, doubling its presence in areas where there was violent property damage, according to a joint statement from de Blasio and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announcing the initial curfew.
The looting continued on Monday, so the mayor late Monday announced an extension of the restrictions, from 8 p.m. Tuesday to 5 a.m.
The full executive order can be viewed here.
All city residents will be required to be inside with the following exceptions:
First responders, Health care workers, Essential workers going to and from work, Homeless New Yorkers, People seeking medical treatment or medical supplies, and Members of the press.
So nice of them to let the homeless people stay outside. Maybe help them get inside NYC?
