Doesn't appear yet. But I just heard a Cop report that it was starting to get bad. A Foor Locker is being lootered right now and the commander order the officers no to move in to stop it.

At about 7:30 pm the police lines started moving the crowd back. Their plan was probably to disperse the crowd before darkness fell. Right now the Marine Layer is moving into the area, so I am guessing the helicopters wont be much help tonight. The police line ran into some resistance right next to a subway entrance. Real fighting between police and demonstrators. At that point police numbers were as large as demonstrators, so the fighters were arrested by police. Then the main group of demonstrators ran up to the police and there was a standoff between a larger group of demonstrators. Then the ABC 7 copter had to go back for fuel.
