Mayor Bill De Blasio announced on Sunday that New York City would end its curfew. The curfew was initially imposed last week as mass protests grew against police brutality sparked by the police killing of George Floyd.
The call to end the curfew comes a day earlier than previously planned. De Blasio noted that most protesters had been peaceful, and admitted that the NYPD had sometimes overstepped its duty in policing the protests. At least two officers have been suspended because of violent misconduct toward protesters in the city.
„I made clear throughout the week that the NYPD was going to use a restrained approach.
