Alameda County: The rioting and looting events of last night have been mostly resolved and the vast majority of police actions have subsided as of early this morning. Alameda County is rescinding our advisory as of 5 am and will send out further alerts if needed. . For more info, go here."

Oakland: Oakland Mayor Libbyt Schaaf is keeping a curfew option on table but recognizes that "curfews have been used as tools of government oppression and racial violence." On Sunday, Mayor Schaaf and Oakland Police Chief Susan Manheimer issued a joint statement: "We ask everyone to stay home - honoring our shelter-in-place health order, and to prevent vandals from hiding within peaceful demonstrations. While a citywide curfew is always an option, we will continue to focus our law enforcement resources on providing high visibility with marked vehicles, as well as utilizing unmarked vehicles, in our vulnerable areas without having to escalate to a curfew. We will arrest those who would loot, vandalize or otherwise harm our city. We will continue to assess conditions and intelligence."
