North Carolina’s capital city will be enacting a curfew starting Monday night, after two nights of protests over the death of George Floyd that led to street fires, store break-ins, and fireworks being thrown at police officers.
“For the safety of our residents, I feel we need to impose a curfew starting tomorrow,” Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin told The News & Observer.
The National Guard was deployed in Raleigh, police there said in a tweet early Monday. Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, had said at a news conference Sunday that hundreds of Guardsmen were available Sunday night to cities that requested them, including Raleigh and Charlotte.
