\n Hundreds of summonses handed out to protesters for violating a curfew during a demonstration against the police killing of George Floyd should be dismissed, the Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Although the Bronx DA doesn\u2019t prosecute criminal court summonses, she plans to file a motion later this week asking the court to drop disorderly conduct and curfew violation cases against more than 300 demonstrators issued by the NYPD during a peaceful June 4 march that went sideways.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in and encourage our Bronx residents to raise their voices to protest social<\/a> and racial injustice in a peaceful way,\u201d Clark said in a statement announcing the move. \u201cI said back in June that I would not prosecute protestors simply for violating the curfew.\u201d<\/p>\n

Typically, summonses are heard by a judicial hearing officer in the summons part of criminal court, and there\u2019s no prosecutor.<\/p>\n

After a week of protests against police brutality sparked by the killing of Floyd in Minneapolis, the NYPD began enforcing an 8 p.m. curfew throughout the city on June 4.<\/p>\n

Cops in riot gear and clutching batons descended on the Bronx demonstration organized by the activist group Decolonize This Place, blocking the march near East 136th Street and Brook Avenue and rounding up hundreds of protesters.<\/p>\n

NYPD brass came under fire for the aggressive crackdown and making misleading statements about widespread chaos and mayhem to justify it.<\/p>\n

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea defended the arrests saying the group was \u201cabout tearing down society\u201d and those involved were caught \u201cbringing a gun and gasoline and weapons to the scene.\u201d These assertions didn\u2019t bear out, a Post investigation revealed.<\/p>\n

A gang member was arrested with a gun a half-mile away from the march\u2019s stepping off point and nearly three hours before the demonstration was broken up \u2014 but had no connection to the protests.<\/p>\n

A trio was also busted two blocks from the rally with an assortment of tools and weapons \u2014 including a sledgehammer, a firework, a tire iron, knife and lighter fluid.<\/p>\n

One of the suspects allegedly admitted he was going to \u201csmash a window with the hammer or hit a police officer with it on the helmet,\u201d according to an affidavit. The three were charged with misdemeanors and are being prosecuted by the Bronx DA\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

The predominantly peaceful protesters arrested on low-level violations for breaking curfew are due in court Oct. 2. Clark added that it wasn\u2019t constructive for hundreds of people to gather in a confined space in the midst of the COVID-19 health crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese unprecedented times require prosecutors to be flexible as well as compassionate,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The DA\u2019s office will prosecutor defendants charged with burglary, looting and assault primarily stemming from a June 1 demonstration in the Fordham section of the Bronx, Clark said.<\/p>\n

The NYPD didn\u2019t immediately return a request for comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
