Protestors in Washington, D.C. Photo: The Washington Post/The Washington Post via Getty Im Protests against the police killing of George Floyd spread around the country starting Friday, with demonstrations from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Newark, New Jersey. Some of those protests remained peaceful, but many demonstrations escalated, with widely documented police violence and some turning to looting and property damage.
“Our window can be replaced. George Floyd can’t,” chef Ria Dolly Barbosa wrote on Instagram of her Downtown L.A. restaurant Petite Peso. The Los Angeles Times reports that her restaurant was one of a number that were either looted or damaged. Others include Nancy Silverton’s Chi Spacca and Mozza2Go, where a fire broke out; Ludo Lefebvre’s Trois Mec and Petit Trois; Josef Centeno’s Bar Ama and Bäco Mercat; and others.
