Whoa. Bay area reporter Natalie Neysa Alund was on the scene in Oakland, Calif., Sunday night as Zimmerman verdict protests continued.
They also attacked a TV camera man. We're staying back behind #Oakland police lines now. #Trayvon @insidebayarea

Thankfully, the Bay Area News Group photographer is OK.
So thankful my colleague @anda_chu is OK. Seeing him attacked made me feel helpless. Angry. Violence is senseless. @insidebayarea
