Image: This is a fish-eye lens image, taken from a rooftop, of a large crowd stretching across a broad paved area on the right and a double line of police officers arranged in a scalloped line on the left. There are additional lines of police and emergency vehicles receding to the left. In the center foreground is a KSFO News 560 van with several people standing on its roof. Between the crowd and the police lines people in suits are milling around and there are some police officers in a loose line facing the crowd. Some people on the right are sitting on the ground. In the right foreground is a rooftop with people watching. There are commercial buildings in the background. On the left is a Sprite ad painted on the wall of what looks like a repair garage.
