easterly breeze or a northerly breeze. no problems with the fog in the valley. quiet up in the sierra. windy as heck down in southern california hence the red flag warnings and wind advisory for the high desert. but everything is quiet until after thursday. 30s and 40s, 50s for lows. most of the lows are up. there is a lot of 30s up in mendocino county, lake county. looks good for the most as well. maybe warmer on the coast than inland areas. cold morning, sunny, breezy for some. 60s and 70s. sal, i think you said there were a couple of issues. >> yeah, and the m as in mary, the m ocean view is blocked at 19th avenue by a stalled vehicle there. so a lot of people take the m to get to san francisco state or just -- you know, the m line, it's blocked now. muni is running shuttles. that's from a tweet that muni

sent out. i want to show you the bay bridge toll plaza, it's backed up for 25, 30 minutes. it looks likes a normal tuesday. i think by tomorrow we'll start to see people who are living the bay area for the thanksgiving or perhaps not even going to work. let's take a look now at the 880 freeway, interstate 880 in both directions near the coliseum is moving along well. as we take a look at marin county and the north bay, southbound 101 from 37 to about marinwood is slow but after that it looks good to the golden gate bring. one last thing i want to mention is if you are driving on 680 out of the pleasanton area down the sunol grade, it's slow because of earlier issues. back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. well, dozens of buildings damaged or destroyed in overnight violence in ferguson, missouri after it was announced that the grand jury decided not to indict the police officer who shot and killed 18-year-old michael brown. >> you see et pictures.

there was gunfire, rocks were thrown, looting and fires throughout the night. a lot of the protesters broke storefront window, and emptied shelves. one store hit was a store that police say michael brown stole cigars shortly before his encounter with darren wilson. >> several businesses were set on fire including this o'reilly auto parts store. windows were smashed and looters grabbed items from inside before setting it on fire. explosions could be heard for miles. the building is completely destroyed. >> what i've seen tonight is probably much worse than the worst night we had in august. i'm not saying there weren't folks out there that weren't out there for the right reason. i'm saying this spun out of control. >> even before the announcement, some districts there anticipated violence and they decided to close schools today. >> and rallies are not over. this is video from just a short time ago showing more protesters beginning to gather

in ferguson. people, as you can see, are blocking an intersection walking barn in a circle around all four parts of it. close to 30 people were arrested last night. >> interesting developments, tori. here in oakland, more than 1,000 people marched through the downtown area. it was a protest. it was marked by acts of violence and vandalism. >> business windows were smashed, walks were spray painted. trash cans lit on fire. tara moriarty is outside a smart & final store with a look amount the damage. tara? >> reporter: we're here on 10th and broadway. the protesters definitely got to this place. all. windows are boarded up after -- all of the windows are boarded up after being smashed that. businesses around here are faced with the task of boarding up tonight in case more riots happen. protesters broke nearly all. windows at the starbucks down the street near oakland police headquarters and stole baked goods and merchandise. that kochfy shop is closed today. as we mentioned, a smart &

final targeted, looters making off with bottles of liquor. demonstrators spray painted we stand with mike brown on the side of the marriott hotel. here's video from that location. you can see looters had just broken into the smart & final and set fires in the street. right after the announcement from ferguson was made about 2,000 demonstrators marchedded from 14th and broadway blocking traffic twice. >> we wanted to be here that whatever we heard about indictment or no indictment, we wanted to be here in a capacity of people who are concerned about faith and love and hope but who are also concerned about justice. >> reporter: a police cruiser was vandalized. officers arrested 40 people. a few people were injured but no one seriously hurt. witnesses say officers were here last night but they did not stop the vandals from reek

wreerking -- wreaking havoc. we'll talk to business owners about how they plan to cope. also a lot of questions are being raised about how police hand. ed this situation and the fact that mutual aid was not called for and the protests went on well into the night until at least 1:00 in the morning. tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. another thing that happened last night, a large group marched right onto the freeway. this was westbound 580. it was at macarthur boulevard. as you can see, they caused traffic to come to a stop. there were 500 people on the freeway. >> a lot of people there. you can see the police moving through the crowd trying to get this under control. about 8:36 last night, the chp actually issued a sig-alert, shut down traffic in both directions. this was 59580 and at one point -- 580. at one point, the crowd began to form a human ladder to climb

on the center divide of the eastbound side. that's how they were able to block both directions of traffic. >> they were climbing on top of each other, using each other as a ladder. you can see the camera panning around. around 9:30, the chp started to divert eastbound traffic to highway 24 which is always busy, while people on the westbound side, they were just stuck. no place to go. >> i guess this lasted until about 11:00 last night. a lot of police presence. you can see there. what's interesting, i heard a couple of people who said they didn't mind. a couple of drivers didn't mind the protests because the protests were mosley peaceful and voicing their opinion. one person felt it was almost this is the start of a revolution. we're hearing more protests planned for tonight. people should be aware of that for the evening commute. stay with us for full coverage. another part of the story, family members of oscar grant were out there joining in the demonstrations on the streets

of oakland. this is oscar grant's uncle. he told ktvu his thoughts were with michael brown's family and that the demonstrations he says are necessary to start a national dialogue on race. >> i'm glad the community is out here standing with michael brown's family, standing together with police terrorism in the country. this is what we need. we need this all around the country. >> oscar grant was shot and killed in 2009 by b.a.r.t. police officer, johannes mehserle, who was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter. now, oscar grant's urge. plans to go to ferguson, missouri to visit michael brown's family soon. ktvu has a special section on the grand jury decision and the reaction to it at ktvu.com. as you go there, you will find a link on the front page. in other news, as all of this is going on, people digesting the decision, many are still plan document get away for the -- planning to get

away for the thanksgiving highway. the chp is sending a message about safety. cara lui is live from martinez with a highway patrol involved in a safety campaign. good morning, cara. >> reporter: well, good morning. yes, we are about to see a lot more cars on the roadways as we get closer and closer to thanksgiving. joining me this morning is chp officer john france from the martinez office. thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> we've had four fatal accidents here in contra costa county in the last few months. two this past week, what's your message. >> our message is for these people to wear their seat belts. there's no real rhyme or reason as to the age or gender. we're seeing all age groups, all genders. there are people still choosing not to wear their seat belt. we ask that they wear their seat belt. we'll continue to enphones our seat belt laws -- enforce our seat belt laws.

>> reporter: with thanksgiving coming up, we'll see a lot busier roadways. what do you want to remind folks? i know a lot of the things are -- folks hear all of the time. >> the thanksgiving max miami enforcement goes from the 26th to the 30th. we'll have more enforcement on the highways. we'll be looking for unsafe driving gavers and particularly dui, speeding -- behaviors, particularly, dui, speeding and distracted driving and looking for people not wearing their seat belts. we want people to have a safe thanksgiving weekend. >> reporter: any particular areas being targeted? >> not recall targeting. we'll be on the roads and highways. we'll be looking for unsafe driving behavers and looking for people not wearing their seat belt so we can hopefully have a fatality-free thanksgiving weekend. >> reporter: thank you. here's hoping everyone has a

safe thanksgiving travel holiday coming up in the next few days. reporting live, cara lui, ktvu channel 2 news. >> good advice. thank you. it's very unusual. it's a store promotion in san francisco. shoppers are lining up for it right now because they like it. coming up in 20 minutes, people ready to do this, take it all off just to get a free outfit. also across the country, protesters have taken to the streets angry over the grand jury's decision not to indict the ferguson police officer. up next, i will talk with former prosecutor and legal expert jim hammer about the inner workings of a grand jury and what may be next for this case. good morning. we are looking at a commute where traffic is moving along pretty well in some areas. slowing in others. we'll sort it all out for you -- coming up. very quiet here. a chilly, cold morning for some. not as cold as yesterday. a lot of sunshine and warm temperatures but changes, and i mean big ones coming up by the

weekend. more on that.

500 people on the freeway. about a half-mile of cars stopped on the freeway. we need to figure out how to get everybody off the freeway at some point. >> boy, just look at the pictures. interstate 580 shut down for a few hours in both directions after about 500 protesters blocked the highway. several arrests were made. by 11:00, the chp was finally able to clear the freeway and start the process of reopening it. ktvu's tara moriarty will join us in about 20 minutes from now to tell you more on how oakland was affected by the ferguson grand jury decision. now that the decision has been announced, no indictment for officer wilson after he shot and killed michael brown comes the questions, mainly how did the grand jury reach this

decision? last night, robert mccullough tried to justify the grand jury's decision and it boiled down to this -- >> they are the openly people -- only people who have heard and examined every witness and every piece of evidence. >> joining me now is former district attorney, jim hammer. it's often said you can indict a ham sandwich and grand juries always decide to indict. why do you think they decided against it? >> it was no secret the district attorney was watching public reaction. grand juries can be used to indict a ham sandwich as you said. you use it as a true investigative tool. you don't just put on a couple of witnesses. sometimes you have a real question about what the facts are. we heard so many different cold fronts from the public, people saying what they saw. turns out they didn't see it.

that is sounds like this prosecutor used it to put all of the evidence on, to shake out the evidence, to compare it to the physical evidence and find out what happened. the most rearc man thing -- the most remarkable thing for the public so they can say i agree or don't agree with the evidence. >> is there usually a higher standard or a higher bar to indict police officers mainly because of the violence of their jobs? >> it is and listen, most people when they are looking at the conduct of the police officer are thinking that police officer is there to protect me. they are gonna sympathize more with the officer than someone who shoplifted and then they have to prove it wasn't in self- defense. so with the police officer giving his account of being charged and michael brown grabbing his gun and michael brown not there to go give

testimony it's tough for prosecutors. >> can you explain the difference between a grand jury and a trial jury? >> grand juries are in secret, you don't even know the identity of the grand jurors. you don't know how they voted because they deliberate in secret. while they are working, there's no judge in the courtroom, no defense attorney. just a prosecutor. i would stand in there with 15 members of the public. when they went to deliberate, nobody would be there to help them out. it's truly a civilian-run grand jury. the downside, if it's abused, there's no defense attorney and no judge. all of the burden is on the prosecutor to make sure that fairness happens in that case. it can be abused but used directly, it's a very powerful investigative tool. >> what is next in this case? could the officer face any  federal charges? >> so in terms of criminal cases, the district attorney has all the discretion in the world. if the d.a. decide not to prosecute, it's

over. from the tea leaves, it doesn't look like a federal prosecution will happen but that's a possibility. the real avenue left for the family now is the civil case. they can file suit either in federal court or state court against this officer. they can say that it was a violation of civil rights. he was killed wrongly and then everything would be public. that burden of proof is very confident to get a recovery against the officer. >> still some potential developments down the road. >> thank you. >> absolutely. we have a special section on the grand jury dation and reaction on -- section and the reaction to this on our website on the front page. sal is watching your commute. the toll plaza, sal? >> it's crowded, dave. it's a normal commute as you can see from the picture that we're just about to show you, the toll plaza is backed up here a little bit. it looks like you are going to see some slow traffic all the way out to the macarthur maze. but the 880 ramp isn't that

bad. and that's leading me to some hope that it might clear up before too long. looking at 880 northbound and southbound, that looks good. now, heading south between hayward and fremont, the traffic is a little bit lighter. let's put up this graphic of the maps. you can there is a couple of red spots but mostly when we see you the picture on a normal tuesday which is one of the busiest days of the week, you see a lot of -- it's all reped -- question -- red. this morning it's better. we're seeing hope and that thanksgiving effect on this not so -- it's kind of unusual of a week. let's go to steve. we have clear skies. chilly to cold. yesterday was colder by 4, 5 degrees. a lot more 40s an 30s. but plenty of 40s in lake county, mendocino county, santa cruz mountains. it's mostly clear and it will be clear and nice and mild to warm. thanksgiving forecast looks pretty good here today. everything will stay dry until maybe even late friday.

we're good to go on thanksgiving. no issues there. no travel delays. fog running into a big-time resistance in the form of an offshore breeze. no fog, not a problem. in sacramento valley, there might be some near fresno. i don't think it will cause problemses. westbound advisories are out. big dome of high pressure. it's not going anywhere until at least late friday, 30s, 40s and 50s. there are some temps on the cold side, others are not too bad. this will take us into friday morning. then we'll start to see increasing clouds. it's dry but if you are traveling coming home could be tough, especially sunday into monday when it looks like we have a significant rain event automobile the way down to southern california. more on that in 10, 15 minutes. cold morning, 60s, 70s. temperatures close here. kentfield, 68. petaluma, 70. sonoma, 70. napa, 68. not much of a spread here. normal near oakland and berkeley because of a little

offshore breeze. southern part of the bay, 70s for everybody. maybe even warm toward santa cruz, capitola. half moon bay looks as warm as woodside and palo alto. not much change through thursday. we cloud it up on friday. could be rain late but more likely over the weekend. the biggest part of the system is sunday/monday. >> for today, just enjoy today. >> thank you. 7:23. restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters, you are about to be put on notice. coming up in 20 minutes, ktvu's pam cook will tell you about new rules the government is about to announce. this could affect your waist line. organizers of super bowl l have raised millions to pay for events all over the bay area. why could santa clara be stuck with an expensive bill when it's all over? the oversight that may lead tax payers on the hook.

i gooh no.one. fitting the tree through the door, that's feast-worthy. so celebrate with the kfc festive feast. a bucket of the world's best chicken, our famous sides, biscuits and our new pumpkin cake. the kfc festive feast.

the city is launching a campaign to raise private funds to pay for those events superior the super bowl, which include a parade and fireworks show. but tax payers could have to pay part of the bill if that fund-raising drive falls short. 7:26. a power full east coast storm could cause travel problems for thanksgiving. take a look at some of the video of the storm that hit the east coast. now rain is expected in the coastal areas tonight and into tomorrow morning. that will bring snow to the inland cities. forecasters expect the highest amount of snow should fall in pennsylvania, upstate new york, connecticut, new hampshire, and maine. they say up to 10 inches is possible in some of those

areas. 7:26. businesses burned and looted this morning. we're getting a look at the aftermath of last night's violent protests in ferguson. up next, the questions about the police response. >> reporter: we're live in san francisco this morning, we're about a half-hour from now, these people standing in line will be in their underwear. coming up, the unique promotion at a store here in the city. we're still looking at a commute that is slow in many areas. taking a look at 24. a little bit of slowing in la fayette. we'll give you a drive time for this commute. temperatures will be warming up, although it's a little chill. near 70 for many. but this pattern is not going to last the entire holiday week. we'll have details.

back! multiple shots fired back now! >> being called one of the worst nights missouri police have ever seen. hundreds took to the streets, vandalizing businesses, setting fires and firing off weapons. mosts after it was announced that darren wilson would not be indicted for the deadly shooting of michael brown, crowds began to form in and around ferguson, missouri. alex savidge is following the situation there. coming up he will have more on what's ahead in this very

volatile situation. let's also talk about your weather and traffic. i just ducked outside. thank you for a nice morning. >> it's a nice morning. >> not too bad. it's dry and will stay dry through friday afternoon, if not longer. changeses by the weekend could be -- changes by weekend could be significant. maybe patchy fog. a couple of days before that starts to form. high clouds and no rain issues for us. clear skies here maybe a hint or two of some fog. chilly morning. sunny and warm. breezy for some. that's a component of an easterly breeze or northwesterly breeze. we're top to bottom. red flag warnings because the santa anas just continue from santa barbara to l. a. and san diego. 30s, 40s and 50s on the temperatures. there is still some 30s up in

lake county, mendocino county. lows are up 4, 5 degrees. high temperatures will warm up near 70 for many. there's an update on your traffic about mr. sal castanedo. >> steve, thank you. we're looking at a commute where traffic is still slow. we're seeing a little bit of lighter commutes in some area, san mateo bridge, moderate lit heavy as you heafd across the high rise. no major problems on the dumbarton bridge. bay bridge toll plaza is backed up for 25 minutes. seeing some improvement on the 7880 approach in case you are wondering which way to go. i want to show you highway 24. we promised you a drive time. here it is. westbound 24, nine-minute drive between pleasant hill road and the caldecott. but the rest of the commute also looks decent. a little bit of slowing on 680 southbound through pleasant hill. violence erupted in ferguson, missouri and around the country yesterday evening. >> that's after a grand jury's decision not to indict the

white police officer who shot and killed michael brown. at least a dozen businesses in ferguson were looted and set on fire. protesters smashed windows out of police cars and buildings. officers used tear gas to break up the gas. >> justice for michael brown! >> this was in oakland. similar scenes, angry protesters blocking a freeway and vandalizes businesses and there were several arrests reportedly so many people were taken into custody that police called in a bus to transport them. that's not the end of it. there are more protests planned for tonight around the bay area. >> we have live team coverage this morning. tara moriarty is in oakland checking out the damage done last night and this morning. >> and alex savidge joining us

live in the newsroom. >> things quicklyspired out of control. let me show you the scene in missouri as people are beginning to gather this morning. you can see several dozen protesters marching through the streets right now. police are, of course, hoping today's demonstrations remain calm after widespread damage and more than 80 arrests overnight. this was the violent scene overnight in the ferguson area as protesters clashed with police in riot gear. officers were pelted with everything from bottles to batteries. demonstrators set at least a dozen large fires. in one case, huge flames shot from an auto parts store. there were a number of cars set on fire, that included several police cruisers torched. there was quite a bit of looting as well as demonstrators smashing out store windows.

some say police were slow to act. law enforcement officials are promising to step in even sooner if future protests turn vine -- violent. >> we do not tolerate criminal activity, window smashing, looting, crime associated with these. while we support everybody's right to have their voices heard, you will see a large police presence. >> protesters say the decision not to indict officer darren wilson is an injustice. last night one of the stores ransacked during the rioting was the same store that police say michael brown stole cigars from before being shot and killed by darren wilson. and there is a letter written by darren wilson. he thanks those standing by him. it was just publicly released. and it was read aloud by hunch his supporters. >> i would like to thank you all for standing up for me. your support and dedication is

amazes. it's still hard to believe that all of these people that i have never met are doing so much for me. >> law enforcement officials in the ferguson area reported hearing as many as 150 gunshots through just the night. although in the end, there was no one seriously hurt or killed during the demonstrations. the st. louis county police chief defending the actions of officers he says there was no way to prevent people who were intent on causing this kind of destruction. there are many businesses and schools closed in the st. louis area as police and the national guard prepare for more protests. a up in of them expected throughout the day. we're live this morning in the newsroom, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. meantime, the family of michael brown released a statement after the grand jury decision, it said "we are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions. we respectfully ask that you please keep your protests

the government announced new rules for calorie counting. pam quack is in the studio with the businesses that will be affected. a bad near to start counting the calories. >> right. two new rules will require calorie information on the meant -- measure. it applies to chain restaurants, grocery store takeout counters and movie theaters with 20 or more locations. the information has to be in place by november next year. the fda says americans eat and drink about one-third of their calories away from home and that people need to have the nutritional information to make informed choices. information at vending machines need to be in place in two years. now, the menu labeling rule also requires that the

restaurants provide information about calories from fat, saturated fat, sodium, sugars and protein if the consumer asks. but it's the chain restaurants, it's not the mom and pop small places. >> thank you. it's now been six years since anchor and reporter dennis richmond retired after 40 years at ktvu. we've learned he's dealing with a medical problem during his retirement. >> that -- hey, look at you. >> at 71, dennis richmond is as imposing as ever even in his running suit but last month, dennis was in excruciating pain after doctors inserted two metal rods among his spine attached with titanium screws. he was put under heavy medication after the surgery. doctors considered him a fall risk and set up an alarm on his hospital bed. but one night dennis was able to disarm it. >> when i saw where they pushed the button to turn it off.

>> smart. got wobbly toward the end. i got real wobbly. i went head first into the wall and woke up everybody. she came running. >> it was like an explosion. the entire hospital woke up. >> dennis still uses a cane and has a back brace to wear when he needs it. his doctors say it will be a while before he can get back to his beloved golf game. >> great story. 7:48. today, two state lawmakers from the bay area, are gonna announce legislation about a plan to charge pedestrians and bicyclists a toll to go across the golden gate bridge. democratic assembly members phil ting and mark levine, they will unavailable a bill that they say will protect public access to the world-famous bridge. last month, bridge directors agreed to consider this controversial toll because of growing budget problems. speaking of traffic, let's check in with sal and things

>> sunday through tuesday, possibility of 4 to 6 inches. >> gotta clean out the gutters. >> right here. that would be a lot of snow in the sierra. let's get closer to friday before we tackle it. that's some of the projections coming in. not just locally but all of the heavy hitters are on board for this coming in sunday through tuesday. clear skies. there may be a patch or two of low clouds. but it's nice. okay for thanksgiving. not a problem. a little chill. dew points are coming up a little bit. that should probably lead into a little bit of patchy fog over the next few days. higher clouds but it will be dry. on friday, we'll start to focus on our attention on increasing clouds. this system will probably slow down today. all good to go. if there is any low cloud. sunrise, 7:01. sunset 4:53. forecasted low and high. 52, 67. what's average, 49, 61. record low again, second in a

day. 4 2. 76, 19485. we'll go for a forecast high of 71. it looks nice today and tomorrow. even up to tahoe, truckee, reason know. sacramento, fog sometimes can be a huge issue, that's not the case here. it is a little bit in the san joaquin valley not a lot. wind advisories are out for santa barbara, high fire dangers, los angeles, san diego very windy. but even they will get rain as we go into sunday monday, big disk -- division between the cold air and great lakes and what's ahead of it. these are hall coming together for a lot of cloud cover and some rain. but the big action will be the low moving up the coast from the carolinas, setting up around new york or boston. if you can get out today, that would probably be beneficial. up and over she goes, a mountain of high pressure over the west coast. 30s, 40s and 50s. a lot more 40s. higher elevations have warmed up. they are in the 50s.

that's a big jump from a couple of days ago. 40s instead of 30s. it's right hat 40 for petaluma and sebastopol. 38 in redding. 24 in tahoe with upper 30s. a lot of 30s in lake county especially clearlake oaks and also cobb and clearlake. 30s there and also the mendocino county. most of the lows are up around 4, 5 degrees. low clouds tried to get close and they ran into an easterly breeze. rain runs. friday might be late. think we will get increasing clouds. the system will deepen. as it does it will slow down. saturday will be one system. the main system looks to be sunday afternoon, sunday night all the way into monday, all the way down to l.a. and san diego. this could be measured in feet for snow for the sierra nevada. a lot of false alarms. but this one looks to be good. we're still four, five days away. 60s on the temps for everybody.

warmer towards oakland and berkeley than antioch and brentwood because of an easterly breeze. that's just that kind of a pattern. low 70s, santa clara valley. 70s and a beautiful half moon bay. redwood city, menlo park. everything looks good through thursday. we cloud it up. more likely it looks like a rainy weekend, especially sunday/monday. >> sunday -- >> into tuesday. >> home could be a big issue. >> especially coming back from the mountains. >> okay. people who may need a turkey who really want one, needy families, this morning, 10:00, walnut creek, 1515 restaurant giving away a thousand turkeys for people to line up and come get them. 1515 north main street. come on down and get it. >> make sure you pay for parking. they will get you there. >> right. okay. >> all right. thank you. well, making sense of the violence in ferguson, missouri and all over the country. coming up in the next hour of

"mornings on 2," a live interview with a legal analyst and a bay area religious leader on the fallout and also the right way to channel your frustrations. >> but first, twitter trouble for one of the company's executives. the mistake he made that may have given away the company's acquisition plans.

welcome back. the decision in ferguson, missouri is affecting travel to the st. louis airport. the faa says ten flights were rerouted because of safety concerns. reports of shots fired into the sky. well, since then, flight restrictions have been lifted. the travelers are going into st. louis this morning, you better check issflight status beforehand. for two weeks after the shooting of michael brown back in august, the faa restricted flights as well as media helicopters in the area. 7:56.

twitter seems to have townshipped up one of -- tripped up an expect disk. a man posted a tweet that he meant to send as a private direct message. it says i still think we should buy them. he's on your schedule december 15th or 16th. we will need to sell him. i have a plan. the tweet was quickly deleted but not before followers took screen shots and began to speculate. one of the most popular guesses is new startup company. bad weather may cause problems for millions of thanksgiving travelers. after our break, the big storm this could mean big trouble for your holiday plans. >> reporter: and chp has a maximum enforcement period coming up. we'll tell you when and where.

good morning. we are still looking at a good chute but we have new trouble in the south bay. the weather looks good. hazy sunshine and warm temperatures but changes for the weekend.

voicing their freedom of speech and letting the world knowwe're not standing for these racist police killing us every day! >> the grand jury decision in ferguson, missouri, not to indict officer darren wilson for the shooting death of michael brown it sparked riots across the country, including right here in the bay area. in fact, we're live this morning. you are looking at oakland this morning where some of the damage occurred. looters ravaged several stores. here is a starbucks hit. many protesters vandalized buildings and shops around oakland. tara moriarty will join us live in three minutes from now. talking more about the fallout and whether businesses expect another night of violence. stay tuned. good morning. welcome back to "mornings on 2." tuesday, november 25th. i'm dave clark. >> i'm tori campbell. quick look at weather and traffic.

steve, some nice weather now but rain down the road. >> the first part of this holiday week is fine for us. >> yeah. >> northeast will be a big issue tomorrow. but then the latter half here, especially those coming back from the mountains could be very tricky, dicey. we're still four, five days away. but everybody seems to be on board for the latter half as we go into the end of november, beginning of december. for thanksgiving we'll be okay. chilly. it will be dry. easterly breeze means the coast is clear. very quiet. a few high clouds up to the north. a lot of 30ss, mendocino county, but a little bit warmer around here. dew points are up a little bit. and the wind is up. the wind advisories are up from santa barbara, l.a. to san diego, santa ana event down there. 30s, 40s, 50s on the low. some areas are on the mild side. these are 4, 5 degrees warmer than 24 hours ago. alamo, 38. antioch did dip briefly to 39

degrees. we do have a little bit of fog off the coast. but it's off the coast. it's going to stay off of the coast. everything is fine through friday morning or friday afternoon and then we'll bring in a series of systems maybe three here. the first one friday doesn't look like too much. saturday night, sunday, monday, tuesday could be significant. cold morning, sunny, patch or two of fog. 60s to near 70 degrees on the high. enjoy it while you can. sal, anything new going on? >> we do have slow traffic in the south bay, steve. i want to mention if you are driving on 280 northbound. there are some trouble spots. northbound 280 in cupertino, we had a crash near wolfe road and the traffic stretched as far back as downtown san jose. that traffic is gone. southbound 85 at winchester, there was a report of a crash there. also northbound near union, there was a report of a crash. they are still trying to sort it out. 85 is slow in the area. 101, i haven't said this for a long time. but actually 101 may be your

alternate. looks not that bad as you drive through. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza. that's backed up for a 20- minute delay. but approaching from 880 is not all that bad. back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. dozens of buildings damaged or destroyed in ferguson, missouri after it was announced that the grand jury decided not to indict the police officer who shot and killed 18-year-old michael brown. and it is feared there will be more violence in the days ahead. reporter adam housely has more on what it looks like in ferguson, missouri now that the sun has come up. >> reporter: as the sun comes up in ferguson, missouri, destruction up an down one of the rain roads called florissant. this was an areas where the riots were last summer. people didn't board up their windows. they thought they were safe. they are left in destruction. this burned out building is a beauty supply store. fs had to let it burn because there were shots fired nearby. they came back.

at that point, it was too late. as you move down the sidewalk here, every business, whether it be the laundromat, the nail salon, the chinese restaurant or another hair salon at the end. everyone was looted. the windows busted out u rioters came through here and really took out their aggression on these businesses and frustrated a lot of people here locally who no longer have a place to work, who no longer have a business to call home. as of this hour, more than 80 people have been arrested. there were more than 25 fires last night. some of those were car fires. but many of them were businesses that burned to the ground. in ferguson, missouri, adam housely, fox news. >> all right. thank you. 8:04. meantime, here in oakland, more than a thousand people protested in the downtown area after that decision was announced. ktvu's tara moriarty is outside some of the boarded up businesses, showing us some of the damage left behind from last night. tara? >> reporter: yeah, we also just got word there were some

injuries to oakland police officers last night. a lot of them took rocks, bottles even skateboards. they were being hit by skateboards by some of the protesters. at least one officer we know was hit in the head and -- what his helmet. the skateboard hit his hefl met and it shattered. he -- helmet and it shattered. he received injuries to his face. this is the starbucks. this has been boarded up. it is closed to open up at 9:00. most windows were smashed in. many downtown businesses will keep up the plywood in case another wave of violence hits tonight. witness say looters stole baked goods and other merchandise from the starbucks. rioters stole liquor from the smart & final. chase bank had the windows smashed. demonstrators spray painted we stand with mike brown on the side of the marriott hotel. we have video of those breaking into the smart & final. after the ferguson

announcement. 2,000 demonstrators marched down to 580 blocking traffic on the freeway twice. this morning people we talked to said they weren't surprised by the violence. just disappointed. >> i think it's disappointing. these type of situations you want people to have the opportunity to voice their opinions and be heard. but it's sad that violence has to be a result of that and broken windows and things line that. that they are destroying property. that's not really making anything better. >> reporter: groups were busy until well past midnight. a police cruiser was vandalized. officers arrested 40 people. a few people were hurt but no one seriously. officers were here last night but did not stop the vandals from wreerking havoc. that's because of the handsoff policy the department adopted in the wake of the protest years ago. some officers said they felt that oakland was underprepared. mutual aid was not called in until later in the evening.

some businesses plan to board up later this afternoon in preparation for another round of protests tonight. one officer as we mentioned was injured. actually, i said it was a skateboard t was a bottle. he supposedly does not have serious injuries but was indeed hurt. tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> wow. all right. thank you. and the rallies are not over yet. want to show you video. these are protesters in ferguson, they started blocking this intersection shortly after sunrise this morning. now, police are out there. they are on standby just to keep things under control and keep them from getting out of control. 8:07. two children are recovering after getting injured by a falling cabinet at their preschool in fremont. the accident hatched last week while the children were napping. police have not released the name of the preschool but it's located near warm springs boulevard and warren avenue. investigators say the cabinet was not mounted properly.

one child suffered minor injuries. but a 3-year-old suffered critical injuries and is still in the hospital. we're gonna change gears. millions of people getting ready to travel, hit the road for the thanksgiving holiday. the chp has a very important message as the holiday season begins. cara lui is joining us live from martinez. you talked to a highway patrol officer involved in this safety campaign. >> reporter: well, that's right. you can certainly expect to see a lot more officers on our roadways here in the bay area starting tomorrow, the day before thanksgiving. now, the chp has a maximum enforcement period. it starts tomorrow and goes until november 30th. it's not just speeding they are focused on, they are targeting seat belts, especially after four fatal crashes here in contra costa county. in the last few months, involving people not wearing them. there were two deadly collisions just last week including one on wednesday on 680 and pleasant hill where a

white sedan veered off the roadway, hitting a pole and killing one person. officers will focus on distracted driving as well. and all unsafe driving behavior this holiday weekend. >> there is a chance for people to celebrate a little bit too hard. we want to make sure we're out there enforcing dui laws. we also want to keep speeds down to within the legal limit. traffic collisions that have higher speeds have a higher ability to cause fatalities. and soap those are the main focuses. >> reporter: again, chp's maximum enforcement period goes from november 26th to 30th. you can expect a greater chp presence on all california freeways. we're live in martinez, cara lui, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you. 8:09. and stripping down to save a buck or actually quite a few

bucks. in 33 minute, the reason, look at this picture, people nearly naked outside a store in san francisco. it's a little chilly out there. >> cold out there. >> we'll explain what the heck is going on. good morning. right now, traffic is actually getting better insome areas -- in some areas. sunshine. a little cold. a couple of reports coming in from san jose. upper 30s. we're starting to warm up here. we'll show you how warm.

i'm scared to be black in america. i can just be killed. 17-year-old brother be killed. it's nothing. i'm just dead. it's just cold. oakland, san francisco, the bay area, we are standing up for this. >> that's quite a statement, it's a common sentiment among some of the protesters over the grand jury decision in ferguson, missouri. no criminal charges against a white police officer who shot and killed an unarmed african- american teenager. while many are expressing their frustration through violence and looting whik you are seeing on -- while you are seeing it on, tv, joining me live, we have bishop bob jackson. so glad to see you, bishop jackson. >> flies to see you. >> and i'm glad to see you, jim

hammer. you were on earlier. a former prosecutor, somebody who is well versed in the law. we were talking briefly early. bishop, your first reaction to hearing the announcement from the grand jury was what? >> it was one of sadness. just -- i was really sorry to hear that decision. i was hoping they would have said something wiser to say something like we're gonna indict him and we're gonna have a trial with him, et cetera. sort of like we did with johannes mehserle. i thought maybe they would do sort of the same think. to me in the interest of safety and quelling the violence, that would have been a good, wise move. but it seems as though they weren't concerned about the outcome or all of this that you see, they just wanted to say that they didn't see any problem. >> jim, let me ask you, as a prosecutor, is it a no-win situation for a prosecutor for a grand jury in a very flammable situation like this

one? >> listen, i think this prosecutor knew there was gonna be outrage in the public. >> yeah. >> this outcome came, the one credit i will give that prosecutor for, they've made the entire record public. usually grand juries are in secret. the grand juries i put on in san francisco, if the person is not indicted, it remains secret forever. people will have the chance to look at every bit of evidence. >> who will be able to see it? >> everybody, the media, the public can read witness by witness what people actually said. my hope it will take away some of the -- some of the idea this is a conspiracy. but having said all of this, most of the murder cases i've prosecutorred, the victims were young african-american men. there is a sense in the african- american community that their lives are not valued as much, that they don't get a fair shot. so people are not crazy. regardless, there is a systemic problem. when you have a community which

is overwhelming african- american and a police force which is almost all white. it will breed distrust. people are not crazy when they are angry about the whole system when that goes on. that's what we need to focus on changing that. >> any time you look at a police force and 53 police officers, 50 are white and three are black and you look at a neighborhood that's predominantly black, you know something is wrong with that picture. >> one of the things -- you are involved here in oakland with healing centers. >> right. >> that have been set up. at least three or four that have been set up. tell me about those and the reason for that. >> well, because the young people and others that are really upset about the decision, the outcome, it needed a place to come and talk and talk about it and previousably begin the 0 process of healing. i think it's an opportune time to share. we had 30, 35 youth uprising who did a wonderful job

facilitating that there and we had the youth employment place on 23rd and international. and then a couple of places in west oakland. people could come and vent and talk -- because hurting people hurts people. that's a yoen adage i've heard -- known adage i've heard all of my life. the unjustice that goes on, everybody knows it is, i don't care how you shape it. how can a man with a gun lose with a man who just has hands? and then shoot him that many times? it's kind of like -- it's ludicrous to me. >> we're concerned -- own lip -- only because we're out of time. there may be more protests tonight in the bay area and around the country. we don't know what may happen. the idea of healing, finding a right direction, getting facts out are important and jim, there's also maybe other legal revenue -- remedies in this

case beyond -- >> and those are the federal authorities could bring charges -- from what i started to read in the tea leaves, it won't come. this family has redress. they can go into court and file a lawsuit. if the family believes their son was wrongfully taken them from, they have the right in america to file a lawsuit. i'm not sure what the outcome is but it's not over for them. >> i think we all agree, we hope that the spirit of peace somehow will work its way through this even as people vent their feelings one way or the other. i go et to say thank you once again, jim ma'amer, former -- jim hammer, former prosecutor and bishop jackson thank you for taking the time to be here. >> thank you. >> tori, pack to -- back to you. you will find the link to ferguson on the front page of our website.

a powerful east coast storm could cause travel problems. want to show you video of the storm that hit the east coast last week. rain is expected in coastal areas tonight and into tomorrow morning. that will bring snow to inland cities. forecasters say the highest amount of snow is expected to fall in pennsylvania, upstate new york, connecticut, new hampshire, and maine, the day before thanksgiving, they say up to 10 inches is possible in some places. 8:19. let's check in with sal right now. some problems, sal, to talk about in the traffic. >> we do have some slow traffic. i think the slowest traffic is in the south bay. but we are looking at the bay bridge toll plaza, as we always do and the traffic is beginning to clear out. i think they will put some smiles on people's faces as this is going to start being the pattern for the next week as tomorrow -- i think a lot of people -- i mean, who are these people who have all of this time off around the holidays? you might know them. this is 880 northbound in oakland. northbound, you can see traffic

is moderately heavy driving up to downtown. i think tomorrow it will be lighter and then, of course, on thursday, not a lot of people go to work on thanksgiving. some do but not a lot. this is a look at northbound 280 in san jose. we had an earlier accident in cupertino that is now out of the way but the traffic is still slow. 85, the same thing. 85 is slow because of an accident northbound near winchester but the traffic is better after you pass highway 17. so after doing this for so long, i'm beginning to see some of the telltale signs that this commute week will be better and better as the hours and the minutes get closer to thanksgiving, right, steve? if anyone knows, it would be you. >> thank you. >> yes, i think tomorrow will be the telling sign. clear skies. cold for some. a lot of 30s. lake county down to san jose. a couple of reports of 39 degrees. not much of a breeze but what's there is showing signs of being more easterly or northerly.

that's taking care of low clouds on the coast. san francisco today, 52, 67. forecasted low and high. 49, 61 is average. 42, 2010, the record low 76, 197 a. the record high, a little bit of fog down towards fresno hanford, that's about all i can find. if you are heading to sacramento, tahoe, reno, truckee, it's good today. everything is fine through friday. southern california hold onto your hat, the wind advisories are posted. l.a., san diego, red flag warnings as well. the big news will be in the northeast. it's already starting today with a lot of cloud cover. some rain in the southeast. where the low sets up will depend on how much snow totals they get. anywhere from a couple of inches to maybe about a foot of snow. just to the west of boston and north of new york, mainly into eastern pennsylvania. it will be a tricky travel day tomorrow to the northeast. 40s on the temperatures. 50s. we did have some 30s. m enloe park must be sleeping in.

i think they were 39, though. 49 los altos hills. 40 san mateo, belmont. 25 in tahoe. sacramento, 46. monterey at 47. a little bit of fog out towards fresno. that's the only travel issues we have until late friday. everything is fine. thanksgiving is okay. we'll start to see clouds moving in. friday will be the first system probably not until late friday. what looks to be a whopper of a system, sunday into monday, maybe even tuesday, amounts of rain in inches if it holds together and everything is on board. but still four, five days away. cold morning, sunny. 60s to near 70 degrees and tori we'll have more coming up a little bit later. 8:22. restaurants, grocery stores and movie theaters put on notice. coming up in 15 minutes, the new rums the government is going to announce -- the rules the government is going to announce that could affect your waist line. online shopping at work? are you guilty? you are not the only one, after

the break, the biggest culprit by the annual secret shopping ritual.

my grandkids bought this nest learning thermostat. programs itself... connects to their precious phones. i don't like it. being cold builds character. walking back and forth to the thermostat builds leg muscles. when the internets come to life and all these gizmos turn on us, these kids won't be able to run away on those shriveled little calves. will they love their nest thermostat then? i don't think so. the nest learning thermostat. welcome to a more thoughtful home.

welcome back to "mornings on 2." time is 8:25. new this morning, there is a new report that senior level workers, they are more likely to shop online this holiday season while at work. that's according to the website careerbuilder. they say 53% of senior management like ceos and vice presidents, they plan to shop

online during their work hours. 10% admit they will spend more than three hours of work time shopping. meantime, 46% of entry level workers and professional staff, they plan to shop online during work, 24% of companies have fired people for nonwork related use of the internet. 8:26. the show may not go on. coming up after the break, the reason the greatest show on earth may not be coming to one bay area city. plus, chaos on streets of ferguson overnight. fires, looting and heated clashes between protesters an police -- and police. following the grand jury's decision to clear darren wilson in the shooting death of michael brown. we'll show you the damage and the new demonstrations already starting again this morning. good morning. we still have slow traffic and and a couple of accidents are making the commute slow. but not on the golden gate. it looks good here. mostly sunny. there's a few high clow. no big deal.

won't stop tarps from warming up to 70 degrees for many. changes are looming for the latter half of the holiday weekend.

♪ ♪i'm too sectionie for my shirt ♪ >> that's the music of "fred "," i'm too sexy for my shirt." they took their shirts off, took their pants off. we're in san francisco. i'm not making this up. a swarm of people, nothing but their underwear in the cold on this tuesday morning. part of a very unusual but --

a few high clouds. sunny and warm. breezy for a few. that's an easterly component. if you are traveling, a little bit of fog down towards fresno. there's not a lot in the valley. 30s, 40s, 50s. wind advisories in southern california. we even have a component of an easterly breeze for most here. that's allowing that to disappear and push out to sea. the coast is clear as we like to say. overall, everything is fine. if you are traveling heading up to the sierra, coming back could be very tough, especially sunday, monday, and tuesday. i will have more coming up in ten minutes or so. a cold, chilly morning, especially san jose up to lake county. a lot of 30s reported there. a little breeze. a lot of 60s and 70s. they don't last long but it will be near 70 for sal castanedo. >> i'm good with that. southbound 101, near palo alto, there is an injury crash near university. a traffic a little bit slow through the area. you will see slow traffic on el camino real. 280 is a dream come true if you

want to use it as an alternate route. 280 looks very food from the burlingame area or the black road area all the way down into the south bay. let's go to 280 in san jose. the crash in cupertino is gone. at the bay bridge toll plaza we're seeing some improvement, a little bit more room in some of these lanes, still about a 15, 20-minute delay. 8:32. back to the desk. >> thank you. in the news, violence erupted in ferguson, missouri and around the country yesterday. that's after a grand jury decision not to indict the white police officer who shot and killed michael brown. look at the pictures. the at least a dozen businesses in ferguson were looted and set on fire. protesters also smashed windows out of police cars, out of buildings, out of stores, police brought in tear gas to

break up the crowds. >> justice for michael brown! >> back here in the bay area, in oakland, similar scenes angry protesters blocked a freeway, some vand amazed businesses and there were -- vand amallized business -- vandalized businesses. that's not the end of it. there are already more protests planned around the bay area for tonight. alex savidge is live in the newsroom now with the unrest that is still going on in ferguson, missouri, alex. >> good morning. those overnight protests certainly were districtive and this morning -- destructive and this morning a lot of cleanup. now that the sun is up, you can get a better accepts of the damage in and around ferguson. buildings that were burned are still smoldering, that includes a beauty supply store, auto parts business, a meat market as well. also new this morning, we're getting a look at protesters beginning to gather.
