This matter is being pursued both the state
Cities on the news burning. We made the decision to not give up. Reporter the 8 pm curfew garcia called extremely helpful to quell the violence has been lifted by city council. A move that is a difficult balancing act. If the city and continues to live under a curfew for any time, this is not a state of martial law, that is not what we are going to be come. We will use this in a targeted way if we use this again. We see those that abide by the curfew or decide to go home or decide to stay. When that happens and you have a large crowd and the violence erupts with an even larger crowd there is a possibility and innocent people get hurt. Reporter some of the protesters are right behind me, another group has marched around the city block several times. They have been out here for several hours in the sweltering heat.
