You know, what we really need is reform. Reporter after police used chemicals to disperse crowds in at least four bay area cities. San jose, walnut creek, santa rosa and oakland, where jennifer lee was hit with a flash bang. The next day, it blistered over, you could see the sparks went off of my back.
