Violence, thefts spread across Bay Area and Northern California amid peaceful protests
The high notes of broken glass being shoveled into metal dumpsters reverberated through downtown Sacramento on Monday morning as shopkeepers and volunteers cleaned up after another lawless night.
While 1,000 members of the California National Guard were deployed by Gov. Gavin Newsom to Los Angeles, California Office of Emergency Services spokesman Brian Ferguson said Monday that so far, they were not being deployed to other areas.In San Francisco, Ferguson said 200 additional officers were sent from other jurisdictions including Merced as part of a mutual aid agreement. In Oakland, a spokesperson for Mayor Libby Schaaf said the California Highway Patrol was assisting local police.
Thieves and vandals also struck numerous businesses, in both cities and suburbs, raiding stores including Best Buy, Target and Japanese clothier Uniqlo. In some places, groups converged on stores at once, in areas without large protests, leaving police scrambling to respond.
