Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake today lifted the citywide curfew that was instituted after riots erupted Monday following the funeral of Freddie Gray.

Though many in the city have complained about the curfew, it has been mostly respected. Small groups of protesters have remained on the streets as the curfew went into effect each night, and there have been some arrests, but no violence.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said today he supports lifting the curfew.

"The mayor and I both talked and agreed we think it's time to get the community back to normal again," he said.
