In oakland the protests turned violence with police making dozens of arrests after people continued marching in the streets, even after officers declared an Unlawful Assembly. One group was detained at 29th and telegraph and another group was surrounded by officers in riot gear at 17th and franklin. Police say officers declared an Unlawful Assembly after vandals in the group hit a Whole Foods Market on bay street. Two large windows were shattered. Nearby someone set a flag on fire. At several points protesters tried to get on interstate 980 near downtown, but several officers quickly mobilized to keep the group from entering the freeway. Ing the demonstration, which ended around 9 30 last night started peacefully. About 3,000 people participated in the protests that coincided with demonstrations nationwide, calling attention to the death of unarmed black men at the hands of police. Sky 7hd was over San Francisco yesterday as protesters marched along Market Street to city hall. Heres abc7 News ReporterLisa Amin Gulezian in with a look at that part of the demonstration. [chanting] they chanted, they marched, and they remembered the one who brought them together. A moment of silence for those who have died. Eric garner, oscar grant a list of those killed by Law Enforcement was long. Although there were thousands of different faces in the crowd, there was one unified message. They are killing us. They are killing us. And they cant anymore. We have to come together. Black people and brown people are not treated the same in society. The heavy Police Presence only frustrated many of the protesters. Thats why once the scheduled event was over, hundreds marched on and shut down the streets around union square. Police rushed to control the protest routes, but the marchers brought traffic to a complete standstill in front of Westville Center on Market Street. The group took off once again and this time headed to the Mission District. The faces in this protest had changed. There were no children or families here. Instead angry individuals. They stopped in front of the Police Station on valencia. [chanting shame on you] the crowd remains loud but peaceful and said they would keep up the fight. In San Francisco. Lisa amin gulezian, abc7 news. There were protests all across the nation yesterday as people called for change. In new york city thousands of people marched along 5th avenue. Look at the masses, black, white, all races, all religions. This is just a great moment. This is a historymaking moment. Eric garners mother was among the speakers at yesterdays protest in washington, d. C. Garner died in july shortly after being held in what some say was a choke hold in new york city. Michael browns father will be in the bay area today. Michael brown, senior is speaking out after his son was shot and killed by a Police Officer in ferguson, missouri.

Three effigies tied with nooses were found hanging on campus. Abc7 News Reporter lilian kim has the details. They were discovered in the morning. Cardboard cutouts hanging from a noose in the u. C. Berkeley campus. They each included the words i cant breathe a reference to eric garners last words before he was choked to death by new york city police. They are in regard to the protests related to garner. To call attention to the eric garner case, the i cant breathe, and to show anger about the lack of insight. This is very traumatize fourth black students to see that. Miles is chair of cals black Student Union wishes held a black lives matter demonstration at the sprout plaza. Although it was unclear whether the motive was to support or antagonize, they said it was offensive, nonetheless. The fact that no one will attribute themselves to these images or to these effigies continue to reinforce this idea that black people in this country are forced to live under the conditions of racial terror. A University Spokesperson said, while its certainly not clear what the intention was, its not reflective of our values at u. C. Berkeley. These are very disturbing images and we will do everything we can to identify a suspect and fully prosecute that person. Its just wrong to use that image. Berkeley resident j hanson grew up in the south. She saw the images online and came to campus in case student needed comfort. Unfortunately i think a lot of people dont understand what a destructive image and what a horrible history lynching was. As for the students, they are using the effigies for yet another reason to bring attention to their cause. In berkeley, lilian kim, abc7 news. Now to our other top stories. Two people are recovering after a safeway delivery truck lost control going down a hill in San Francisco.

The truck slammed into a car, then went over the median and into three parked cars before finally crashing to a stop in the building. The truck driver and the driver of the sedan were both hurt. The lucky thing was apparently people were working on that building and had been there like 30 seconds before. One guy apparently was up on the scaffolding still and pushed himself into a window or something as it was happening. Engineers are checking the scaffolding to make sure it was stable.

It will cover a 15mile radius surrounding oakland. Birders will comb parks, beaches and other areas to count every species, as well as individual birds. The society will hold another bird count in San Francisco on december 30th. Results of the count help scientists track bird population trends. Hundreds of scientists from all over the world have mapped an evolutionary tree so complete that one scientist calls it mind blowing. They tapped into the genes of 45 different bird species and had nine supercomputers analyze the data and arrange the birds into a family tree. One example of what they found, falcons are more closely related to parrots than eagles or hawks, and penguins developed a gene to stay warm thats similar to a gene in humans that creates tough skin on hands and feet. The finding are extensive and should lead to more research for years. You can read about it in the journal science.

He and his wife noticed something wasnt right. Oh, my god. What what did they do . His wife saw a roof tile in the driveway and immediately looked up. It was broke in several pieces, the one on the edge. She wasnt too concerned. She called terminex, who just completed fumigating her home. This is a promotional video from the company. They agreed to fix the damage since they had just been up on the roof to remove the tinting. They agreed to send an inspector but no one got back to them with the results. It was frustrating. I really got upset how come they are ignoring me. Things became more urgent when two weeks later her husband noticed more damage as he was pulling into the driveway. Oh, look there. Look at the damage on our roof. In all, more than 60 tiles were missing. With winter fast approaching, they felt pressed for time. They said it might rain, so if i did not fix it, then if it rains, i will damage my roof. They went ahead and fixed the roof, sending a receipt for the repairs, along with photos of the damage to terminex. We waited another month and there was no response. Then my husband said, lets try 7 on your side. We contacted terminex and it phoned the family to apologize. Terminex did not respond to our request for comments. But they agreed to pay the bill for repairs. It was 700. I feel very happy you have done something for us. If you have a consumer issue that you cant get resolved, let me know about it.
