蜜柚直播

In a series of tweets Monday, Gov. Doug Ducey announced he was not going to renew the 8 p.m. curfew he had imposed May 31 following some rioting and looting at Scottsdale Fashion Square. Since that time there have not been major problems.

鈥淚 want to thank both the peaceful protesters and law enforcement professionals for their cooperation during 蜜柚直播鈥檚 statewide curfew,鈥� Ducey wrote.

鈥溍坭种辈� has avoided much of the violence we鈥檝e seen in other states and large metro areas.鈥�

蜜柚直播 has been the only state with a statewide curfew.

Repeated efforts to speak with Ducey have gone unanswered. That leaves only his Twitter messages.

鈥淚鈥檓 also thankful to all 蜜柚直播ns for their patience during this time,鈥� the governor wrote.

鈥淥ur state and nation are facing multiple challenges, and I鈥檓 very appreciative for how the citizens and leaders of our state are conducting themselves during this historic moment,鈥� Ducey continued.

But the governor also suggested that abolition of the curfew did not mean things were necessarily going back to the way they were before.

鈥淲ith the curfew expiring, 蜜柚直播 DPS will remain vigilant, working with local law enforcement leaders to ensure that they have the tools necessary to keep our streets safe and protect the rights of all residents to make their voices heard,鈥� Ducey said.

But gubernatorial press aide Patrick Ptak said National Guard soldiers whom Ducey called out when he imposed his curfew are not standing down.

鈥淭he declaration of emergency is still in effect,鈥� he said.

鈥淚t鈥檚 just the curfew that has expired,鈥� Ptak continued. 鈥淎nd the Guard remains authorized to support local law enforcement.鈥�

Ptak had no immediate figures on how many soldiers are deployed. But as of last Thursday, Maj. Gen. Michael McGuire said he had 1,421 troops activated for law enforcement support.

That鈥檚 on top of the 860 who already had been deployed to help 蜜柚直播 deal with the pandemic, performing duties ranging from helping provide supplies to stores during the shortages that emerged when the outbreak began to setting up field hospitals and delivering medical supplies to the Navajo Nation.

Ptak also had no immediate cost figures for deployment of soldiers for law enforcement or how the state intends to pay, saying there may be a way to tap funds the governor made available when he issued his emergency declaration.

But on the subject of a curfew, Ptak echoed the governor鈥檚 sentiment that it was no longer necessary.

鈥淲e鈥檝e had roughly eight days now of peaceful demonstrations,鈥� Ptak said.

鈥淭he curfew was put in place after we saw the incidents last week in Scottsdale that involved looting and rioting.

鈥淚t was meant as a tool for local law enforcement to be able to use, as needed, to prevent that type of looting and rioting.鈥�

And Ptak said it was the right call.

鈥淲e just haven鈥檛 seen those situations which other states have seen,鈥� he said.
