THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO

On Day 2, I'm watching the most surreal game of cat-and-mouse. Cops in huge column and motorcades of motorcycles are chasing small groups of protesters (25-75 people) from intersection to intersection. Holy crap they're making the cops look like dolts.

"It's a cat-and-mouse game," said Deputy Chief Rick Bruce, who heads the Police Department's special operations bureau.

"We're in a totally reactive mode," he said. "We just respond to illegal activity. It's tough. They are moving faster than us. They shut down all of Market Street this morning. As soon as we would reopen a section, they would shut down another one."
