A Statue of Liberty painting is seen through a smashed Dolce and Gabbana store window, Monday, June 1, 2020, in the SoHo neighbourhood of New York. Protesters broke into the store Sunday night in reaction to George Floyd's death while in police custody on May 25 in Minneapolis.
Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the outbreaks of violence — which left stores ransacked, police vehicles burned and other destruction in spots around the city — left them no choice, even as they insisted they stood with the throngs of peaceful demonstrators who have spoken out for several days against police brutality and racial injustice.“We can’t let violence undermine the message of this moment,” de Blasio said in a statement.
“People are doing this so next time, before they think about trying to kill another black person, they’re going to be like, ’Damn, we don’t want them out here doing this ... again,’” New York City resident Sean Jones said as he watched the destruction. Her father said Monday she told him she’d behaved peacefully and believed she had followed police officers’ instructions.to express outrage over Floyd’s May 25 death and other killings of black people, particularly by police. Floyd, who was black, died after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee on Floyd’s neck.

Looters Bodies everywhere after a stolen car flipped over and cause a major accident (10 dead)
Too strict...doesn't give looters enough time to loot. Come on NY...looters are pleading for their beloved city within their beloved state with their beloved Mayor and beloved Governor who have so much beloved compassion for their beloved voters to loosen their grip.
RichCimini Good idea let people loot Louis Vuitton prior to shutting down. 11pm? I know DiBlasio was busy bailing his daughter out but hasn’t Cuomo been watching the news?

A day late and a dollar short
Why do they need a curfew for peaceful demonstrations?
Call in the National Guard and lets the cops do their jobs, but De Blasio is happy to let the city be destroyed on his watch.
lol some luxury stores frequented by tourists get looted and you get your panties in a bunch
Article date 3/21/20 - The tragic death of George Floyd was simply the flashpoint for protests and riots caused by COVID lockdowns
Isn’t that a little late? Things weren’t looking so good in SoHo last night...
Buy guns and ammo. Democrats are rioting, killing and burning everything in site. Protect your family, business and yourselves. Elected Dems are standing down to allow and the media encourages it. Be on alert!
11pm is too late. Should be before 8pm.
Why not 6am
Police should not start rioting at all.

Jesse Williams BET Speech 'The burden of the brutalized is not to comfort the bystander. That’s not our job. All right, stop with all that. If you have a critique for the resistance, for our resistance, then you better have an established record of critique of our oppression.'
Protests aren't destruction. Riots are destruction.
