Cities around California have set curfews in the wake of protests
over the killing of George Floyd. Officials in favor of a curfew
argue that it helps maintain public safety.  But civil rights
groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, have
criticized these measures for lacking clarity and scope as well as
violating first amendment rights. San Francisco--which had been
