Four Cali Cities Protest Verdict At least four California cities held protests Saturday night in reaction to George Zimmerman's acquittal earlier in the evening, with violence reported in Oakland. Police said about 100 people demonstrated, with some in the crowd breaking windows and setting street fires. No arrests have been reported. In San Francisco, protesters marched in the city's Mission district, while about 200 people gathered in Los Angeles in the city's historically black neighborhood of Leimert Park, and about 40 people gathered at Sacramento City Hall. The LAPD declared a modified tactical alert on Saturday, meaning officers could be held over their regular shift and they do not respond to low priority radio calls. Zimmerman was found not guilty Saturday night in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year. Read it at Associated Press TORTURED TALENT 3.

Former Democratic governor Brian Schweitzer announced Saturday that he would seek the state's open senate seat—throwing the race back into play for Republicans once again. Veteran Democrat Max Baucus announced in April that he would be retiring, and many had favored Schweitzer for the seat—especially since the state is vulnerable for Democrats. Schweitzer has been courted by Democratic leaders, but they apparently soured on him in recent weeks after doing research into Schweitzer's past. But Republicans need just six seats to overtake the Senate, and Baucus's retirement coupled with two other Democrats in red states—West Virginia and South Dakota—could throw the Senate into a GOP majority.
