Curfews have been issued across the country in the wake of protests, both peaceful and violent, against police brutality following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week.
In Los Angeles, the curfew is the harshest since the riots in 1992 following the acquittal of the officer who beat Rodney King.
On the East Coast, New York City has enacted the strictest curfew since the race riots of 1943.

The county of Los Angeles, the nation's most populous county with approximately ten million residents, enacted a 12-hour overnight curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. starting Monday night.

New York City has also been the site of several protests throughout its five boroughs.
While some have been peaceful demonstrations against police brutality, others have descended into destruction.
On Monday, Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio ordered a curfew from 11 p.m. until 5 a.m. for the city that never sleeps, and an 8 p.m. curfew for Tuesday.

Wow...Is that pic for real?
I see Christmas decorations in a window and the two lay people are in coats
That’s a few years ago when the police were turning their back to the socialist.
Can’t be recent, although some people do keep their Christmas decorations up all year.
So harsh they still managed to loot and pillage.
And yet the curfews alone will only keep law abiding people at home, not the Looters, Rioters, and Antifa ‘soldiers’.
The curfews are now “harsh”..
DeBlasio must want the riots - why otherwise is the curfew in his city for 11 PM? That’s plenty of time to riot.
In Los Angeles County, it is 6 AM to 6 PM; in my medium-sized city outside of LA the curfew was lowered to 5 PM - the freeway exits were blocked and there was a strong police presence starting around 4 PM, when I returned home. The PD here were afraid the rioters and looters would arrive.
Some cities in LA, Santa Monica, Beverely Hills, the curfew was set at 1 PM.
