Just watched a long live stream by a Sacramento Bee reporter walking along with a group of about a thousand demonstrators. They meandered around downtown for a while, kept running into lines of cops and changing direction. Finally the found a way on to Interstate 5 and blocked both directions for a few minutes. At least a hundred CHP cops in combat gear showed up and eventually herded them back off the freeway. A few violent episodes but mostly peaceful, though not orderly.
The majority seemed to be white, but no Hawaiian shirts in evidence--I think they were sincere. The CHP was fairly disciplined, but man, they sure loved their flashbangs. People on the high wall beside the freeway, and on an overpass, were throwing water bottles, and the cops kept firing back with flashbangs.
I wonder if it'll be quiet Monday? Normally you'd expect people would have to go back to work after their weekend fun, but with so many people furloughed by the virus, who knows?
