SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Protests over the in-custody death of George Floyd have taken place across the San Francisco Bay Area. Many cities are under curfew due to widespread looting and vandalism. Here are the latest updates from around the region and across California and the U. S. San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin and Supervisor Shamann Walton announced a resolution to the Board of Supervisors that would ban the hiring of police officers or sheriff’s deputies who have a history of misconduct. The resolution strongly urges the Civil Service Commission to adopt the resolution as its policy, but the resolutions’ authors missed the deadline to get it on the ballot in November. »We hope that had a law like this been in effect in Minneapolis, George Floyd would still be alive today, » said Boudin. The officer charged with killing Floyd, Derek Chauvin, had 18 complaints of misconduct on his record. Six Atlanta police officers have been charged after a dramatic video showed authorities pulling two young people from a car during protests over the death of George Floyd, a prosecutor said Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former vice president Joe Biden delivered an emotional speech Tuesday morning in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, condemning President Donald Trump, and addressing what he describes as a « wake-up call » for a country upended by racial upheaval. Police said 100 people were arrested in Oakland overnight. Police said 80 were arrested for curfew, unlawful assembly and failure to disperse. There were also 20 arrests for other related crimes where several guns were recovered, according to authorities. Police shot someone after looting was reported at a Walgreens in Vallejo. That led to a confrontation with another person who rammed into a patrol car and then led officers on a high-speed chase, police said. Officers are currently controlling the scene at Hilltop Mall after vandals and looters breached the property. Richmond police say reports of shooting are false.
