00:00Last night we saw masked individuals attack the barrier, taking aggressive, dangerous
00:05actions against Newark and New Jersey State Police.
00:08They threw projectiles, they used barriers as weapons, and lit tires on fire in the street.
00:16Police at this time were not wearing protective gear.
00:19They'd been on site since the morning to ensure that protesters on all sides, pro-ice,
00:26anti-Delaney Hall, could safely exercise their First Amendment rights.
00:32As the situation intensified, additional support was needed.
00:36Because of their good, fast work, arrests were limited to three people.
00:41Let me be clear, violent, chaotic clashes hurt everyone.
00:46They put the lives of both protesters and law enforcement in danger.
00:50They take the focus away from people inside Delaney Hall and their families.
00:55And they raise the temperature with ice.
00:57I will ensure public safety and I refuse to give ice an excuse to surge into our communities.
01:04That would make the situation more dangerous and put more New Jerseyans at risk.
01:08It's time to bring the temperature down.
01:11To protect public safety, the area around Delaney Hall has been secured and the City of Newark
01:17issued a curfew there last night.
