Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of major U.S. cities on Tuesday night despite curfews put in place by officials struggling to quell the violence and rioting that has largely marred peaceful protests over the death of George Floyd.

In New York City, protesters remained in the streets hours after the 8 p.m citywide curfew that was set by Mayor Bill de Blasio in an attempt to curb potential violence, arson, looting, and clashes with police, as protests and rallies across the United States continued for an eighth consecutive night.
