I can tell you from talking to police, there are still incidents going on in this city at this very moment. There was a lot of chaos that happened in different pockets im told across the city even before the curfew because, remember, there was a curfew, 8 00 in new york city even before that was in place there was violence happening amidst all the protests. This is an example. I can tell you that if you were a business that didnt have wood boarded up, you pretty much were going to get hit by looters at some point within the evening. I do want to talk about that, incidents where theyre being attacked by these looters, by these criminals. Its kind of disturbing. It shows essentially at 12 45 in the bronx.

Were still waiting to get that number. More than 200 people arrested. If you look over her
And yet the protest being held in his name show no signs of fading. Across the country, the front pages once again tell the story of a nation on a knifes edge. On monday, the president insisted that state and local officials needed to, quote, dominate the protests or risk looking weak. We need to remember that the vast majority of these protests have been peaceful. Hundreds of thousands of people turned out in city after city to march and hold signs demanding justice for george. Yet there were pockets of chaos, absolute chaos after dark. Police officers were shot in las vegas and st. Louis. Widespread looting was reported across new york, despite a curfew put in place last night. All of this came after the president spent the entire day threatening to use more aggressive tactics against law breakers. He said he was an ally of those looking for justice for george floyd. But when it came to washington, d. C. , authorities there used rubber bullets and tear gas, not on a mob of looters bu

Hi there. Im Stephanie Ruhle live in philadelphia, the city of brotherly love. It is friday, june 5th, and heres whats happening. Today, a stunning jobs report, but not for the reason we thought.
