...A state of emergency and curfew were declared Thursday morning by Cincinnati Mayor Charlie Luken.
The curfew, which runs from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly until further notice, kept most protesters out of the streets Thursday night. The city will decide Friday if the curfew will go back into effect Friday night.
The curfew applies to everyone in all 48 Cincinnati neighborhoods, including Hyde Park, Price Hill and Clifton.
The communities of Norwood, Cheviot, Elmwood Place, Green Township, Golf Manor and St. Bernard are also enforcing similar curfews indefinitely.
