The flagship Macys store in New York City's Herald Square is watched by police after being looted late Monday.has imposed a curfew of 8 PM on Tuesday, three hours earlier than it was on Monday, after waves of looting followed peaceful protests over the death of George Floyd.
The move came after a night of looting across the city. The flagship Macy’s department store in Herald Square, a familiar site to TV viewers of the Thanksgiving Day parade, and a number of other retail stores were ransacked Monday as police worked to contain the situation. “These protests have power and meaning,” Mayor Bill De Blasio wrote on Twitter late Monday. “But as the night wears on we are seeing groups use them to incite violence and destroy property. Our first priority is keeping people safe, so I’m extending the curfew to Tuesday. It will begin at 8 PM.”
De Blasio and Cuomo, who have frequently been at odds over the years, offered different versions of events Tuesday. Cuomo accused de Blasio and the city’s police department of “not doing their jobs.” De Blasio countered that the NYPD had made 700 arrests. “I’m so sick of these efforts to mischaracterize reality,” he said. In traveling around the city late Monday and into Tuesday, he added, “I saw police officers trying to deal with a very difficult situation.
