Authorities in Miami Beach are facing allegations of racism after extending an 8pm curfew and state of emergency in response to largely black crowds of spring break revelers, who officials say are 'overwhelming' the city with unruly behavior.
Miami Beach police have arrested more than 1,000 people in the past month, and faced criticism after using pepper balls and sounds cannons on the crowd on Saturday night, which black leaders called 'unnecessary force'.
'I was very disappointed,' Stephen Hunter Johnson, chairman of Miami-Dade's Black Affairs Advisory Committee, told the Miami Herald. 'I think when they're young black people [on South Beach], the response is, 'Oh my God, we have to do something.'

Spring break has been a dumpster fire on FL beaches for decades. They let it get this way.
So I guess that this movie was racist then, eh?
I thought “Spring Break” was for college kids of all races, sizes and genders. These don’t look like college kids at all. Looking closely, no one has a college logo on a T-shirt, no mention of a school. It looks like a BLM function.

Spring break must have evolved into something else from when I was in college. Jeez, college has evolved into something else. But, these people do not look like they every went to any institution of learning.
Everything that impacts blacks in any way is racism. Even when it isn’t.
For crying’ out loud, get over this nonsense.
No one needs to say anything here on this.
All that is needed is to show the videos.
Sounds familiar. At least this guy made an effort to show he was "in college." You might say he gave it the old college try.
I thought De Santis exercised preemption over municipalities in the state. How is Miami allowed to override the state when it comes to curfews?
Restaurants have reported that many patrons are ‘dining and dashing’ without paying their checks, and an outside patio at one eatery was severely damaged.
Just because it’s spring does NOT mean they are *spring break* crowds.
Spring Break has devolved into just another mass street riot. These mass street riots of varying sizes are quite common in contemporary urban America especially where there are numerous Democrats. Systemic disregard for private property and civil order is an important step in the Left’s overall agenda.
On Sunday night, huge crowds of thousands once again defied curfew to party in the streets of Miami Beach, but police were noticeably more hands off following the racism allegations, gently encouraging the spring breakers to leave the area.
Who is the left wing Soros media trying to fool there is No spring break.
These are usual local thugs that trash and rob MB all the time.
The Commie Trump hating MB mayor made it worse .
The lear jet beautiful people crowd moved on years ago.
It does.
Screw Miami Beach. Fully of liberals who keep voting democrats in. Let the city burn to t( ground and then salt the earth.
This is all about going after DeSantis to portray him as a racist.
I have seen quite a bit of video from the riots, is this BLM rioting? Why, they have their President, do they want free plane tickets, food and drink and hotels?
