New York City Mayors Cancel Curfew Imposed to Suppress Protests over George Floyd's Murder.

“We cancel the curfew, and this decision takes effect immediately. Yesterday and tonight we saw the city in the best possible light, "

New York City: We are lifting the curfew, effective immediately. Yesterday and last night we saw the very best of our city.

Tomorrow we take the first big step to restart. Keep staying safe. Keep looking out for each other.

- Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) June 7, 2020 The curfew, effective from 20:00, was introduced in New York for the first time in several decades, after clashes between protesters against police brutality and law enforcement officers. But on Saturday night, the police backed off, allowing peaceful demonstrations to continue after 8 p.m..

The curfew was originally intended to be effective at least until Sunday inclusive.

In response to de Blasio's tweet, dozens of commentators urged him to resign.. Demonstrators believe that the mayor’s office did not make enough effort to protect them and find out who provoked the violence in their demonstrations.

Demonstrations in the US began last week after the death of African American George Floyd in Minneapolis. The hospital recognized him dead after a policeman pressed his neck with his knee to the ground.
