My scanner app has over 63,000 people listening to Louisville, but that station dissappeared along with Chicago for some reason.

Seems to me they should be charged with terrorism.

At least they are not looting, burning buildings, throwing Molotovs, or shooting at helicopters.

Jean Quon, the mayor, will fix this STAT

Hand her a cell phone and car keys and point her towards the protest. That will make them scatter.

Apparently that’s where the real throwdown is happening?

Heard audio on the way home, quite alarming/serious, guess I have to take to twitter to find out the goings-on?

?

As long as they keep it in the realm of protest/march, fine. But they are being stupid.

Oakland: Copters (police or news?) circling (Telegraph and Claremont vicinity), started about eight minutes ago. Thought I heard gunfire a moment ago. Did hear police sirens briefly.

I’ve been watching the live stream. It’s tame. Nothing compared to Ferguson. These people are just marching.

Looks like Oakland PD has it under control. Truly not much to see here, which is a GOOD thing.
