New York City had several hot spots on Saturday night in Manhattan, Queens and Brookly. Several police vehicles were vandalized and some were set on fire. But to date the city has largely avoided the looting that has rocked Minneapolis, Los Angeles and other urban centers during the past few nights since Floyd’s death in Minneapolis on May 25. Floyd, an unarmed black man, died after being held down on the street with a knee pressed against his neck for more than eight minutes.
“This is a place with a strong traditional of peaceful protest and a strong tradition of the NYPD being able to manage peaceful protest,” he said. “It’s so obvious what’s happening here,” de Blasio said. He cited growing evidence of a “violent organized effort” by people who “in many times were not from the neighborhoods it was occurring in or not even from the same city.”
