People outraged by deaths at the hands of police have been faced with a dilemma: How to weigh the risks of protesting during the coronavirus outbreak.
The L.A. curfew, in effect until 5:30 a.m. Monday, is needed to keep order after looting, arson and clashes, mayor says, amid George Floyd protests.At one point, Vasquez said she saw a black police officer giving fist bumps to protesters. There was “a certain energy of solidarity that was beautiful,” said Vasquez, who has been spending time alone in her Mid-City home.
“If you have breakdowns in social distancing and don’t have masks on, then you’re deeply in trouble,” he said. Despite such efforts, the risks were evident. Some police officers were not wearing masks. At times, people embraced in the crowd. Kimberly Ndombe, a 31-year-old television writer living in Echo Park, said she wrestled with whether to protest and had initially planned to stay on the sidelines handing out water. But when she arrived Saturday, Ndombe was reassured to see almost everyone wearing masks and some space between demonstrators. She joined the march.
