George Floyd Demonstrations // Day 5 // June 2nd, 2020 // Lower Manhattan

After a night of violent protests on Monday, New York City changed its curfew from 11pm to 8pm. This was not received well by demonstrators who stood strong at 8pm in Manhattan, chanting “Fuck your curfew!” as a unit of 50-60 (estimate) NYPD bike cops with ballistic riot armor surrounded them on all sides.

Marching inward, the police shoved resisting protesters to the ground with their bikes screaming, “Go home!!” The protest dispersed about 30 minutes later. Violence and looting ensued.
