Washington Post: Spring break curfew has activists wondering if blacks can still have fun in Miami Beach

The City of Miami Beach imposed an emergency 8 p.m. curfew after things got out of hand over the weekend. Early reports claimed the curfew was imposed because of COVID-19, but videos made it pretty clear that’s not why police were called out to send people back to their hotels.

Now police are being accused of racism:

The Daily Mail reports:

Authorities in Miami Beach are facing allegations of racism after extending an 8pm curfew and state of emergency in response to largely black crowds of spring break revelers, who officials say are ‘overwhelming’ the city with unruly behavior.

Miami Beach police have arrested more than 1,000 people in the past month, and faced criticism after using pepper balls and sounds cannons on the crowd on Saturday night, which black leaders called ‘unnecessary force’.

‘I was very disappointed,’ Stephen Hunter Johnson, chairman of Miami-Dade’s Black Affairs Advisory Committee, told the Miami Herald. ‘I think when they’re young black people [on South Beach], the response is, ‘Oh my God, we have to do something.’

The Washington Post has picked up on the story, with an interesting headline:

Here’s “fun” in Miami Beach … until police roll up on the ATVs.
