New York, June 4 (RHC)-- In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio has ordered nightly curfews from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. through Sunday. On Tuesday, Governor Andrew Cuomo threatened to call out the National Guard, saying the New York Police Department had failed to protect people and property overnight Monday when some people set fires and smashed their way into retail stores.
Mayor Bill de Blasio rejected the call at a Tuesday news conference. He said that the New York Police Department arrested 200 curfew violators overnight — compared to about 700 the night before.
