Here's the latest:

11 p.m. After more tense standoffs with police, most of the protesters have begun to disperse around the city. "[Cops] whacked a few people, mostly shoving," reporter Nick Pinto said of the scene near Fort Greene around 10:30 p.m. Thursday night. Police officers kettled protesters onto Washington Avenue at one point; he was also hit by an officer and thrown into a pile of trash. "It looked for a long minute like there was going to be a bloodbath, then cops struck a deal to let everyone out 20 at a time."

Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and Council Member Brad Lander were both at the scene, and were able to negotiate with cops to allow people to leave. "We were marching with the protesters," said Williams. "They were in the street, being nonviolent for a few hours. It was beautiful to see...then all of a sudden we saw a massive crowd of cops come in [with] forceful aggression."

"At first, it was really scary," Lander added, saying cops came out from both sides very aggressively. "An inspector that we know said, 'Is there a way we can do this without arresting folks?' And we said there is—let folks march. Yes it's after curfew, and yes we're in the street, but it is worth letting people express themselves. After a pretty intense standoff, they said okay. By the time they said okay, the marchers themselves said, 'let's keep it peaceful tonight, let's go home and come back tomorrow.'"

Below, you can see a couple more videos of cops aggressively arresting people around the city tonight:

9:45 p.m. Cops have now begun to arrest protesters at marches across the city. Here was the moment when cops charged protesters who were barricaded in at the intersection of Wythe Avenue and Penn Street in South Williamsburg. "Crowd was totally peaceful up until this point. Reasoning was a violation of the curfew," tweeted reporter Ben Verde.

Cops were seen tackling at least one person on a bike as well. "White shirt officer tells me, 'we gave you a chance to leave," Verde, who works for Brooklyn Paper, tweeted. "I inform him curfew doesn’t apply to me, he charges me and says, 'you got a problem? I’ll take your fucking press pass.'"

You can see other arrests happening on the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side, including at least one essential worker.

Over in The Bronx, medics, photographers and legal observers were all among those arrested after the cops kettled peaceful protesters and began to pick them off one by one.

“I just saw a woman get her head bashed in because she tried to walk away from an officer and she didn’t walk away fast enough," said David Perez, a Mott Haven resident. “Are we in America? Did I wake up in another fucking country?”

9 p.m. While things were getting very intense in The Bronx, it's another story in parts of lower Manhattan and Brooklyn where protesters have continued to march without being stopped by cops so far.

"Police are incredibly scarce, unless you count the dozens of vans trailing behind," said reporter Nick Pinto, who is traveling with a group of marchers through Brooklyn toward Barlcays Center.

There are also peaceful marches happening on 7th Avenue in Manhattan, near the Fulton Street Mall, and in other parts of downtown Brooklyn. You can see video from those marches below.

Cops Kettle Protesters Then Begin Arresting Them At Bronx March

8:30 p.m. At a protest in The Bronx organized by Decolonize This Place (known as #FTP4), police officers kettled hundreds of marchers and started arresting them just after 8 p.m. when the curfew began.

"Cops charged from the back with batons out. Multiple people hit. Someone bleeding from the head," said reporter Jake Offenhartz. "This wasn’t even a confrontation, it was a trap."

The scene was relatively calm leading up to the curfew, with a few hundred protesters chanting and speakers taking turns addressing the crowd. "We don't sit down," said Shannon Jones, co-founder of Bronxites For NYPD Accountability. "We don't kneel down. Cops touch us, we touch them back."

But there was also a noticeably large police presence from the start, with officers stationed on every corner and roof, circling the area on bikes in riot gear. And just after the curfew passed, the kettling started—and then came the aggressive arrests.

"There was no provocation," one onlooker noted in the video below. "They don't want peace."

7:30 p.m. The thousands of marchers who walked over the Brooklyn Bridge a little earlier are now traveling north from lower Manhattan. The mood remains peaceful so far, and for some, even jubilant.

"It's actually been real uplifting," said 19-year-old Quadir White, who joined up with the group as they marched up Lafayette Street after he got off of work. White, who grew up in the Marcy Projects in Bed-Stuy, said his whole life "has been a real struggle." So he was particularly pleased to feel like so many people have been on his side as he's marched these past four days. "Everybody here, I feel in my heart," he said. "As I walked here by myself, I'm just clapping. It's a blessing."

Nora Hadaf, a 32-year-old day trader, hopped on a CitiBike to come from the Upper West Side to join up with the marchers downtown. "I wanted to show my support," she said. She noted that she was wearing a rose in honor of the reformers inside the NYPD: "There are souls in the police department who want change, we have to remember them as well. They are also on our side."

NYPD Commissioner Apologizes For Excessive Force But Claims No Protesters Have Been Seriously Injured

6:45 p.m. NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea apologized for the excessive force used by some police officers since the protests began—but he also strongly defended the NYPD's overall conduct during the protests, and claimed no protesters have been seriously injured by cops.

"For our part in the damage to civility, for our part in racial bias, in excessive force, unacceptable behavior, unacceptable language and many other mistakes, I am sorry," Shea told reporters during a press conference on Thursday.

Shea castigated people spreading context-less videos of cops aggressively arresting protesters, arguing the use of force is often justified. "Let's be a little mature and a little responsible, and before you start commenting on a six second video, do a little homework and get the facts," he said, arguing without specifics that some of the lawbreaking was "carefully choreographed" to create negative-looking imagery about the NYPD.

But he added that the NYPD is reviewing at least seven instances that may result in discipline for officers in question, including change of duty, suspensions, or charges. "There have been some bad videos," he admitted, and "without a doubt, there will probably be a couple officers suspended as a result of their actions." He urged people to understand that officers "are human," and most have "acted with extreme professionalism and restraint amidst difficult circumstances."

He also said that despite the videos of cops violently cracking down on protesters, "I honestly can't tell you a protester that was seriously injured." But, "I've been to the hospital numerous times this week" for NYPD officers, referencing two NYPD officers who were shot in the hand and a third who was stabbed in the neck during a confrontation with a suspect on Wednesday night. (This incident was unrelated to the protests.)

5 p.m. An estimate 5000 marchers are currently headed across the Brooklyn Bridge on the eighth day of police brutality protests in New York City.

More protests are scheduled this afternoon in Bay Ridge, McCarren Park and Carl Schurz Park on the Upper East Side before the 8 p.m. curfew kicks in.

Mayor De Blasio Booed By Massive Crowd At George Floyd Memorial

2:57 p.m. Mayor Bill de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray were met with a chorus of boos by thousands of New Yorkers gathered for George Floyd's memorial in Cadman Plaza this afternoon. Terrence Floyd, George's brother, was also present.

"This speaker that you will hear next, I want you to respect by not booing," the minister who introduced de Blasio told the crowd.

The crowd booed him anyway.

McCray spoke first. "Power to the people!" she began, before offering her condolences so Floyd's family, and praising the protests. "We have power we didn't even know we had." The crowd wasn't exactly silent, but they didn't openly jeer at her.

Then it was the mayor's turn:

"Fuck outta here!" someone yells, before chants of "turn your backs!" and "defund the police!" begin.

You can see the mayor's full remarks here.

12:32 p.m. At his daily morning briefing, Mayor Bill de Blasio was asked repeatedly about multiple accounts from Wednesday night showing NYPD officers violently dispersing peaceful protesters, despite his assurance earlier that protesters who are out past the 8 p.m. curfew would be allowed to stay out, so long as they were peaceful.

The mayor said he hadn't seen the accounts, and suggested that at some point, the NYPD will decide that "enough is enough," and they can use their discretion to disperse anyone out past curfew—even if they are peaceful—with batons and pepper spray, though he thought they should be used "absolutely to the minimum."

"If at a certain point, an officer says, 'OK it's time, we need to go now,' people need to listen to that," de Blasio said. "It's not an unfair action to say, in the context of this crisis, in the context of the curfew, there is a point where enough is enough."

De Blasio asserted that there is "an additional element trying to create violence, intermixing with the peaceful protesters...it's insidious. It is not: here is simply a group of peaceful people."

Meanwhile, during his press conference, Governor Andrew Cuomo denied that any NYPD officer had beaten peaceful protesters on Wednesday night, and rebuked a reporter for even asking him about it, calling it "incendiary rhetoric."

"A question itself can be a little offensive," Cuomo said. "'Police bludgeon peaceful protesters with batons for no reason?' That's not a fact. They don't do that. Anyone who did do that would be obviously reprehensible if not criminal."

The governor later admitted that he didn't know what had happened in Brooklyn on Wednesday night:
