nothing but praise, as did chief wendt, for the officers last night for showing what they called tremendous restraint in the face of a lot of taunts. and of course, being the target of projectiles like rocks, bricks, things like that. the chief said at its height there was some 1,500 to 2,000 protesters at various locations and some of his officers suffered injuries. the most serious, he said, was a concussion which required treatment at a hospital. some 43 demonstrators were arrested, some for looting stores. ten of them, ten of those stores hit along one block right next to or near the police department. the chief said the late response of the officers to the looting was because there were just so many protesters, his officers could not be everywhere. when the chief was asked why he couldn't block the demonstrators from climbing on to interstate 580, he said there were just too many people, too many protesters there. he just couldn't get enough

police officers and even if he called for mutual aid, he didn't think that would be enough. the majority of those arrested he said were from oakland, not from out of town, and he expects most of the charges to be misdemeanors, things like public intoxication, refusing to disperse, resisting arrest. you know what that means. that means that those people who got misdemeanors could be out here again tonight protesting. the mayor said she is determined to keep the peace tonight. she again complimented the police for showing restraint and hopes that will happen again tonight. that is the very latest from oakland. vic lee, abc 7 news. in palo alto this afternoon, stanford students and community members marched against the decision in ferguson. they shut down the intersection of university and emerson for about ten minutes as they played dead in the middle of the street. no one was arrested. the protesters then moved on to city hall.

already don't have the biggest salaries and it is extremely hard living in this city. >> reporter: san francisco unified has agreed to give paraprofessionals with eight or more years with the district a 15% raise over three years. >> we have been really clear from the beginning and the union has been very clear they want to do something for the paraprofessionals. >> full-time teachers will get a raise of 12% over three years, retroactive to last july. here's the breakdown. the salary for teachers starting out in san francisco is $50,000. within three years, they will be making more than $56,000. the average salary for a san francisco teacher with 12 years on the job is $69,000. in three years, they will be earning close to $78,000. this was possible because the district has received more funding from the city and the state. the agreement also called for more prep time, about 30 minutes a day to work on lesson plans or meet with students who need

help. now teachers must vote to ratify this agreement. >> we are just in the process of creating ballots and explanations and summaries and sending those out to all members. we hope to have those in the mail by the end of the week. >> reporter: the idea is for teachers to approve it by december 11th in order to get their retroactive pay in time for the holiday. lyanne melendez, abc 7 news. speaking of the holidays, lot of people wondering what the weather will be like. >> spencer christian's here with the latest. >> well, as you know, today was spare the air day. we have had poor air quality. tomorrow will be another spare the air day but the weather does look lovely. let's go to live doppler 7 hd. you can see we have mainly sunny skies right now but there is haze hovering over the bay area. current temperature readings, 63 degrees in san francisco. 62 across the bay in oakland. generally, low to mid 60s in all locations around the bay area now. there's a look at the haze. also, mostly sunny skies from the east bay hills camera.
