Across LA, the largest county in the US which had a mandatory curfew last night, nearly 1,200 were arrested on Sunday. Dozens were arrested in San Francisco. Police across the country have faced criticism for their aggressive use of force in response to the protests, which were ignited by ongoing outcries on police brutality and violence.

The ACLU of Southern California has condemned the curfews and the decision to bring in the National Guard, saying: “Combined with the aggressive show of military force and the troubling accounts of police using batons and rubber bullets not just in response to threatened force but against peaceful protestors, these approaches repeat the very problems at the root of the protests.”
