Fox 40’s Twitter account made this announcement:
FOX40 NEWS ALERT: KGO Radio’s Alonis Urell tells FOX40 News crowd has started throwing objects at Oakland PD cars.
The live stream is saying “outside influences” are driving people to riot. So far there isn’t an actual riot but newscasters seem nervous and threats of violence have forced authorities to mass in force. The protesters have reportedly been intimidating reporters and passerbys. This story is developing.
Update: S.F. Gate reported that this afternoon workers and others fled Oakland before the verdict was read.
I’ve heard members of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA, and the Workers’ World Party are there in Oakland stirring up trouble. They’ll riot even if the police officer does go to jail.
