New York City- Funny Curfew!

Countless cars are running on the road. Neighborhood Street is everywhere, starting from highways. There is pedestrian movement as usual. Essential goods stores are open. There is a lot of trading. But according to the government announcement, the curfew is going on in the city. Such a strange curfew has been observed for the last week in New York, one of the top cities in the world. But curfews in New York and many other major cities in the United States over the past few days have completely changed that notion. That means at least 80 percent of the city's residents are unfamiliar with the curfew. At one stage of the tumultuous protests that erupted across the country in protest of his assassination, anarchy like looting began somewhere. The curfew on the first day was from 11 pm to 5 am. 

But on the first day, it was seen that looting was going on in several areas of New York before the curfew started. At the same time, protests and rallies of the protesters are going on. However, the protesters have always said that they have nothing to do with the looting. It is the responsibility of the government to stop looting. In that situation, the start of the curfew from Tuesday was set at 6 pm. In such a background, there were clashes between the protesters and the police. Hundreds of protesters were arrested in connection with the clashes. 

However, during the next few days of the curfew, the protests have been peaceful. From the beginning, almost half of the thousands of people who joined the protest rallies and demonstrations were white. In particular, for the past three days, protesters in several places in Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York, have been protesting peacefully in the curfew until late at night. 

City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the lifting of the curfew on Monday morning, a day ahead of schedule. Not only in New York but also in other cities in the United States where curfews were imposed in the wake of the George V Floyd murder trial and the increasingly violent movement demanding an end to racist persecution. Protests continued during the curfew. 

Even in the city of Minneapolis where George Floyd was killed, the atmosphere is much calmer now. The right of movement, expression, and protest is protected with the utmost respect. That is why curfew has never been imposed in the last 77 years. Secondly, the curfew was imposed under duress but the military was not called in to enforce it. It is implemented through the local police administration. No force was used to disperse the protesters despite the curfew being lifted. But in the last few days, protesters have peacefully rallied. That is why the police did not stop them in that way. This is the true value of America. The importance of human rights and freedoms is paramount here. That is why this country is called the Land of Liberty.
