Mayor Eric Garcetti extended a curfew to all of Los Angeles after more than 500 people were arrested and five police officers were hurt overnight Friday amid violent protests over the death of George Floyd.

When you're having mass gatherings that will spread COVID-19 like wildfire, closing testing centres is idiotic.
The virus won't just infect protestors/cops/MAGA counter protestors/looters/journalists. They'll just be the source of another wave, so using this as 'punishment' is illogical.
If you want the gatherings to end maybe try to meet their demands?

How many times have Democrats in power showed their ass with these protests? The shit from Trump and his stooges is undeniably terrible and further along on the spectrum of shit but their evil does not by default make the Democrats good.
Garcetti is the perfect example of the modern Democrat "lib", a fascist with a smiley face sticker on his riot helmet.
From the article posted by the OP:
Nothing in the article or the video in the article says he's doing it as a punitive measure to punish the protestors.

Because they will obviously say that out loud.
Does no one know how subtext works anymore? Critical thinking? Anyone?
Well, I haven't seen the video of the mayor saying anything about the closure of the testing sites. Have you? If you have, can you post so I can make my own judgement?
It feels more like he's closing them down for the workers safety, but I can't tell until I've seen the video.
I love it when these people show their true colors. Certain Democrats just hide it better because they have slightly better values than the other side.
Fuck Garcetti. He knows people were going to get tested after protesting. It's needed and now it's hurting both the community who need access to testing and the protestors who should be tested after gathering in close proximity with others.

Thanks.
I watched the video as well. He does say he does it for the safety concerns. I'm not sure he's doing it as punitive measure to the protests, but I can see how that can be interpreted that way. Hopefully it's more about worker safety than about punitive measures.
This reads more like a mangled addressing of the "different parts of the city have different responses" part of the question.
I dont usually post here but since this is regarding Covid and may lead into disinformation I might as well jump in.
Los Angeles County Public Health is in charge of Covid testing in the County. Only Pasadena and Long Beach have their own Public Health Departments. The mayor of Los Angeles has no authority over the 36 testing centers in the County. The testing centers near my home we're active all throughout the day.
After reading news articles the information is completely mixed. You cannot find out which testing centers are actually closed and how long. This is what is frustrating about claiming "All LA Testing Centers are closed". Was the Dodger Stadium testing center closed? Were the testing centers near Fairfax and Downtown closed? Were all of the County testing centers within LA City closed??
I have not found anything claiming anything. If all testing centers in LA City were closed at 3 PM, that leaves what like 2 hours of time with no tests?
Even if all testing centers in the City of Los Angeles are closed, which would be a shame, you can drive 20 minutes in any direction in this County and end up in a testing center. Please dont let this deter you from going to get tested.
Edit: I watched the video again and Garcetti makes it seem like they were closed for safety reasons due to LACFD and LACSD Department involvement with the testing center. He goes into the protests afterwards which would make it seem like they are related but I do not see a direct link in stating that he is doing it to punish protestors.
