New York’s mayor extends an 8 p.m. curfew all week in hopes of stopping destruction that continued overnight in protests. On Monday, an 11 p.m. curfew — the city's first in decades — failed to prevent clashes and destruction.
A sidewalk is spray painted with graffiti about New York City's curfew order, in the Brooklyn borough of New York, Tuesday, June 2, 2020. In New York City, nonviolent demonstrations against police brutality, sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis, were punctuated by people smashing storefront windows near Rockefeller Center and breaching the doors into the storied Macy's store, littering parts of Manhattan with broken glass.
“The NYPD and the mayor did not do their job last night, I believe that,” Cuomo said at his briefing in Albany. “You have 38,000 NYPD people. It is the largest police department in the United States of America. Use 38,000 people and protect property.” Police said nearly 700 people were arrested and several officers were injured during the chaos Monday night and early Tuesday.
One officer was struck by a hit-and-run driver in the Bronx and was taken to a hospital in critical condition, police said. Another video showed a group of men hitting a police officer with pieces of wreckage until he pulled his gun and they ran.
