. The protests are spreading beyond the bay area, beyond San Francisco, oakland, and san jose. I am working from home tonight. We saw protests in the big cities, and in less likely spots like livermore, redwood city, vallejo, and others. What we have seen today, it has been peaceful, thankfully. In oakland, hundreds of protesters marched to Police Headquarters near downtown, the crowd expressed anger of the killing of george floyd, calling for justice. For a time, group of demonstrators stood in...

Picture from seattle tonight where a crowd has gathered once again in the city will well keep an eye on unclear if it has remained peaceful it was earlier some people on twitter i was just reading are saying that there have been flash bangs but that is not confirmed. You cant really tell much by this picture. A photographer is walking along the street, but again well keep you posted on everything around the country as we say good evening and thanks for being here at 10 oclock everybody im grant ...

Sure. All right. So generally from the start, you felt like it was a sense of unity, if you will, and a peaceful statement, and that has not changed throughout the afternoon, throws from what youve seen in front of San Jose City hall, right . Thats what weve seen from sky 7 yeah, not at this end. We know there were a couple of windows that were broken out down at 101, and certainly the Police Department is not going to tolerate that kind of damage and so theyll step in those situations. So as lo...

Freeway entrance 101 and they walked down the ramp where you can see the cars moving right now and they walked onto the freeway, it was cars going by at freeway speed. Slowly but surely, the driver saw what was happening and they slow down in the protesters took over the freeway and they stayed that way for over an hour. Traffic was backing up for miles back on highway 101. At some point, the Police Department from san jose came on scene with a show of force, they part their cars and dozens of t...

Gov. Walz good morning, everyone. This has been the most difficult week in minnesota in recent history and maybe in our entire history. In our streets. The ashes are symbolic of decades and generations of pain, of anguish, much like we failed unheard, much like we failed to hear george floyd as he pleaded for his life as the world watched by people sworn to protect him, his community, our state. Philando castile, silenced, unheard, so many other friends, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers sense...

Out of vehicle window. You see police continuing with some unrest. It appears that they fire some teargas. We see some people detained at this point at least two that we caught on video that had scrimmages with police. We are not sure what happened to them at this point. Police continue to hold the line. This is our san jose bureau in downtown santa clara. Live look right now of the coverage of the protest happening in san jose. We do have protests scheduled as well. We will have much more on th...

Law abiding protesters was appalling. It was an abuse of president ial power. It may have been illegal. And it was certainly a violation of the Constitutional Rights of american citizens, the protesters, some of them children, many of them families, there in a public park to peacefully protest were met with rubber bullets and tear gas. This has no place in American Society or any democracy worthy of the name. The president must cease his behavior. The images from last night should disturb all of...

Fundamental inequities at the heart of our society and institutions. And, madam president , i dont think its an overstatement to say that we are at a Pivotal Point in our country. Its a moment of reckoning. Historians will carefully examine this moment to see how our country responded, to see which path we took, how the senate responded, how each senator responded. The immediate spark for this moment was the brutal murder of george floyd by agents of government. In a Minneapolis Police officer a...

Something from a b. B. C. Article i read. A professor, clifford scott, from Peel University in u. K. Who has studies riots for many years, and this is a commonly understood scholarship about riots. They are a product of indactions largely to do with the nature of how police treat crowds. I would just repeat that the stress of police in riot gear was aggravating. Thats what made it scary. I was there. Thank you. Clerk thank you 23for you comments. Next speaker, please. Welcome, caller. Hi. My nam...

Live next to the alley behind the Police Station so, jeff parks his car at the gas station at the end the alley so that i can run out, go pick up krasney, and take her back to the car.

Now, i get out of the car and go down the alley and because jeff is watching me, i skip down the alley to her house to make him laugh, you know but little did i know, skipping down a Police Station alley is a big ...
