In a bizarre twist, after spending much of the past week pleading just how peaceful the LA riots hugfest has been, and slamming Trump for deploying the national guard to the city after the local police was ordered to stand down, moments ago LA mayor Karen Bass announced that a curfew will be put into effect for one square mile of downtown Los Angeles following four nights of violent, chaotic protests and looting, during which the LAPD arrested more than 150 people.

The curfew will extend from 8 pm to 6 am and will extend for several days.
But before anyone gets ideas that this was a sincere gesture meant to protect the lives of innocent civilians, keep in mind that the mayor explicitly wanted to highlight just how contained the curfew zone will be. It will apply to the area of downtown from the 5 Freeway to the 110 Freeway and from the 10 Freeway to where the 110 Freeway and the 5 Freeway merge, Bass said. In other words, see - the rest of LA is perfectly safe. Well, we'll see.
The mayor made the announcement Tuesday evening after suggesting earlier in the day that she would consider a curfew if violence broke out again. It did. (continues)
