Protests continued for a sixth night around Southern California as people took to the streets to express their anger over the killing of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer — and over other unjust killings of African Americans and people of color by police.

Protestors made a strong showing despite a confusing Los Angeles County curfew order that went into effect at 6 p.m. Monday and lasted until 6 a.m. Tuesday. Several cities in L.A. County — including Glendale, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and Long Beach — instituted curfews that started earlier. Over the last several days of unrest, there have been widespread reports of tear gassing and the use of rubber bullets on protesters and journalists.
