Bass, a Democrat, said she's lifting the curfew following successful crime prevention and suppression efforts. On Monday she trimmed back the hours after fewer arrests during evening demonstrations.

She says the curfew protected stores, restaurants, businesses and residents from people engaging in vandalism.
