through the city streets and a person rushed on to 880 and you can see here a little altercation with police officers and a few tense moments between the protesters and chp officers and obviously, the protester is holding his hands up and the police just want to try to get the protester off the street and get the traffic flowing once again. ama, we have somebody on the phone now who can shed more insight into this. >> we have a chp officer on the line with us. good afternoon. thank you for joining us officer. are you there? well it appears we do not have that at the moment and there are these protests going on and they had gotten on to 880 and blocked traffic. we saw them walking through the streets of oakland northbound 7th street and there's a transit bus trying to get through and we have a chp officer trying to give us more on that situation. thank you for joining us. >> not a problem. >> can you tell us first where you are?

>> right now we're standing on the jackson onramp to northbound 880 which is the only roadway that we currently have blocked. beliefly we did have protesters get off to the mainland of northbound 808 and we were able to keep the number one and fast lane clear at all times and they did take over multiple lanes for just a few moments and that jammed up traffic pretty far southbound. right now all of 880 northbound and southbound is open for traffic and the only roadway closed that the time on the freeway is the jackson onramp for northbound 880 and people can expect to see a large police presence at this time, but the freeway is open. >> peaceful so far that you've been able to tell? >> you know, right now, whenever somebody gets on the freeway i'm not going to consider that a peaceful protest because at that point they're interfering with everyone else. although we haven't seen any violence they were up on the freeway and they're blocking the lanes. >> officer, we have several hours to go before nightfall.

are you expecting a number of these when people rush back on to the freeway when the police presence disperses? how are you handling this? >> right now we do have extra officers that are here in the oakland area and we have officers from other chp jurisdictions that are nearby as well as we're getting assistance from the bart police department and the oakland police department is here on the onramp with me. we do have extra officers on scene here tonight to make sure that we can help keep the protesters off city streets and keep them peaceful where they're allowed to protest, but not on the freeway where they're endangering themselves and the public. >> all right. officer, thank you so much for giving us an update on the situation on the protesters that got on to 880. we'll let you get back to work. they were only out there for a moment and police responded quickly and this will be an ongoing situation throughout the night and protesters are out in san francisco. the mission district police substation and hundreds have been marching this afternoon and

they've been moving around the city since the protests started and wayne freedman joins us now. >> reporter: good afternoon. moving is the key word. moving, moving and moving some more and this is folsom street between fifth and sixth. five, six minutes ago they were marching through here. the question was i asked a san francisco police officer where are they going? generally they're sushgelling around and the n location to stop will be the haul of justice at 850 bryant street. it may still be the hall of justice. we can't say. let's show you video from earlier today. this march began from about noon and this is video from sky 7 and second is 24th and mission in san francisco. this protest is against police locally and nationally for what they call shootings against minorities across the country. their first stop was the san francisco police department's

mission statement and lots of bullhorns there and speeches where they pressed against the door of the station and the protesters wrote on the building and police emerged and eventually pushed them back into the street and on they went again. this time to san francisco city hall where they were as little as an hour ago. this time the protest did succeed in getting into the building through the front door and not past sheriff's deputies who kept them entering the building proper and going up the stairway. it was loud. it was purposeful and essentially, however it was peaceful. here are two of the protesters with more of the how and the why. >> all lives matter not just black or brown lives. everybody is a victim of police brutality. >> it's where the power is. the mayor appoints the police chief and they can stop the police violence any time and they don't do it. >> it's a crowd of oh, maybe 200 people. while we said they've been loud

they haven't been particularly destructive except for the writing on the wall of the mission station and that had several police officers fairly frustrated and back live at folsom street. this is the traffic. when the group goes by, traffic backs up for blocks but police need to keep them moving. where they go next is anyone's guess, where we're going next is anyone's guess. we're following them. live in san francisco, wayne freed freedman, nbc 7 news. >> thank you so much. a similar protest in new york city. officers try to hold the line as demonstrators head over the brooklyn bridge. police handcuffed two people who were blocking traffic on the bridge. activists began their protest in union scare and headed to city hall and there were several hundred thousand people at its peak. we'll keep you up-to-date on all of the protests and you can follow us on twitter on nbc 7 news bay area because it looks like it will be an ongoing situation throughout the evening and for a moment we'll take a

break and talk about the forecast if you've been outside at all and it is very windy. >> here is a live picture from the abc 7 roofcam in san francisco. you can see the flags blowing and the winds will be sticking around and spencer christian is back here with the accuweather update. >> we do have sunny skies and it's relatively mild. it was a pleasant day, but brisk and here's live doppler 7 hd and we have sunny skies across the bay area and tonight it will be a cold night to the north and a frost advisory is to the north and a freeze warning in effect for inland areas north of cloverdale and it will be chilly in spots with the bay area. blue skies over the bay from the tower camera. current temperature reading and mid-60s in oakland, san carlos, san jossy and 55 in half moon bay and here's an afternoon of blue sky all over the region in the camera and we have current temperature readings of 65 and napa, and only 65 in petaluma

close to an agreement to watering the lawns two days a week and they're not in agreement how much of the water savings goal should be. >> what's confusing is different cities across the state have been given proposed cutbacks ranging from 20 to 35% to achieve the water board's overall conservation goal. san jose's number is 20%. the valley water district is urging 30%. san jose's proposed ordinance may split the difference at 25% according to those who have seen the draft. >> it's another area that makes it confusing when you get different goals from the state and your local water agency. our goal of 30% is based on the local water conditions that -- to prevent, subsidence to the sinking of the ground. we feel that 30% is the right number county wide. so we think that a 30% goal countywide should be applied consistently. >> so valley water has asked the state water board to allow local agencies set higher goals when there is conflict.

another issue yet to be resolve side enforcement. local cities have that endorsement and valley water does not. they have an app to allow the water to report and it will be expanding the waterways inspectors from four to seven. the cities may not have the water to police water wasters, but enforcement will be necessary. >> they can get peace officers and do many things. there's also, maybe disabled police officers and why not bring them back and put them to work? >> people say they're not reluctant to blow the whistle on water wasters. >> it's the right thing to do because you're holding people accountable for what we are contributing to. >> san jose's water conservation ordinance will be on the agenda. in san jose, david louie abc 7 news. three, two, one. and liftoff. >> coming up on abc 7 news at 4:00, success and failure. what went right and what went wrong during today's space
