“Multiple groups continue to congregate on 1st St between Spring and Alameda. Those groups are being addressed and mass arrests are being initiated. Curfew is in effect,” read a post on the LAPD’s social media, sent at 9:09p.m local time on Tuesday night.

The second night of a curfew took place in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday, as local law enforcement backed by several thousand members of the National Guard attempt to restrain violent protests and prevent vandalism.
