going on. I have been trying to find out what is happening in Berkeley and Oakland because last night I read that it was getting pretty violent.

I think there is another demonstration outside the DOJ today asking for them to intervene.

I just received this tweet on my feed, but not sure if it is from today or last night. Just look at all those police!!

And this one will break your heart but gives us hope at the same time.
