The latest indicators put the city on pace to start Phase 1 of reopening on Monday.
Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said he saw officers being very aggressive toward peaceful demonstrators and yelling "mayor's curfew!"
Thousands filled Cadman Plaza as far as the eye could see to honor the life of George Floyd.
Restaurant rows are becoming candidates for the Open Streets program.
We're just days away from Phase 1 of reopening in New York City. That means more people using subways and buses to get back to work.
The commissioner said there have been incidents in Brooklyn and Queens, and bricks were stolen from a construction site in Manhattan.
For the NYPD rank and file, dealing with the peaceful George Floyd protests and the violent looting has been a huge task.
The governor says the looting and property damage done in the city last night was inexcusable.
New York City will be under curfew from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. through Sunday, the mayor announced Tuesday.
The governor said he supports the protesters, but those inciting violence, causing destruction and looting are a separate story.
Days of protests have been a challenge for the NYPD, and there are questions about how the department has handled it and how they will handle future protests.
The NYPD said more than 400 people were arrested overnight, several police officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries and roughly a dozen police vehicles were damaged.
Chiara de Blasio, 25, was arrested for unlawful assembly late Saturday night in Manhattan.
De Blasio said while most police officers also showed restraint – some even taking a knee in solidarity – there were specific issues that need to be addressed.
The NYPD says at least 345 people were arrested during Saturday night protests.
Inside the NYPD's Joint Operations Center, dozens of officers are watching the city from different vantage points.
De Blasio said he also has seen things that need to be investigated, such as an NYPD vehicle driving into a crowd of protesters.
"The folks who were converging on that police car did the wrong thing to begin with and they created an untenable situation," de Blasio said.
"Reopening in New York City is more complicated, as we know. But we are on track to meet all the metrics," Cuomo said.
The mayor was asked what he would tell New Yorkers who don't have a car and don't feel comfortable riding mass transit as the city prepares to reopen.
Mayor Bill de Blasio is responding to criticism of his calling for the officer involved in the death of George Floyd to be charged after it took New York City five years to fire the officer involved in the death of Eric Garner.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said 200,000-400,000 will likely be going back to work in the coming weeks, and said business owners need help and guidance as the New York City prepares to reopen.
Restaurants and bars are vital to the Big Apple, but many face the risk of closing for good. Owners are begging for reopening directives from Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Johnson says one of the most urgent needs is a plan for mass transit.
Phase one includes non-essential retail with curbside or in-store pickup only, construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, plus agriculture, forestry, hunting and fishing.
