Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio will impose a curfew on New York City Monday that will last from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. as protests over the killing of George Floyd bring increased destruction throughout the five boroughs
NEW YORK — .
“The violence and the looting that has gone on in New York City has been bad for the city, the state and this entire national movement, undermining and distracting from this righteous cause." "There are advantages and disadvantages, to say the least, to instituting a curfew," de Blasio said at a morning press briefing. "Previous nights, I think, were different than what we saw last night."
"We will have a robust amount of officers both in plainclothes and uniform out there tonight," de Blasio said during the morning press briefing. "Anyone coming to, whether it's one of the outer boroughs or to Manhattan, with the intent to take advantage of people during this very difficult time, we are going to ensure that we do everything that you are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
