California Dismisses National Guard After Week-Long "Occupation"; De Blasio Plans To Shift Funds From NYPD To "Youth & Social Services"

Update (1900ET): National Guard troops will be pulled out of California cities after a week-long deployment, according to the Associated Press.

As the mayors of Chicago, Atlanta, NYC & other major cities cancel curfews, incidences of rioting have been reported in Brussels, as the protests have gone global for a third day.

"After nearly a week assisting civil authorities on the streets of California, soldiers with the California National Guard will begin transitioning back to their home armories," the Cal Guard said in a statement, though a timeline for the pullout wasn't provided.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said some troops would begin departing Sunday evening.

"A small number of units will be stationed nearby until June 10 to provide emergency support if needed," he said.

Riots spread around the world, with some incidences of violence reported in London and Brussels.

In Iran, a street in Tehran was dedicated in George Floyd's memory.
