Mayor Garcetti expands curfew to all of Los Angeles, in effect 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. amid GeorgeFloyd protests
Mayor Eric Garcetti extended a curfew to all of Los Angeles amid protests over the death of George Floyd.
"Whether you wear a badge or whether you hold a sign, I’m asking all of Los Angeles to take a deep breath and step back for a moment," Garcetti said in the conference. "To allow our firefighters to put out the flames. To allow our peace officers to re-establish some order. And, to let them protect your rights to be out there."
Garcetti initially stated the curfew would apply to just downtown Los Angeles. The move comes after Saturday's clash in the Fairfax District between protestors LAPD officers in tactical gear, following a peaceful demonstration in Pan Pacific Park.
