i'm anne makovec live in oakland where early this morning the city council passed a new ban on makeshift weapons during demonstrations here in oakland. the move was prompted by the recent protests you see here over the acquittal of george zimmerman earlier this month when protestors were vandalizing buildings and cars in downtown oakland for three nights straight. this measure will ban things like hammers, clubs, shields, slingshots and spray-paint, basically anything that could be used as a weapon during a demonstration punishable by six months in jail or a $1,000 fine. this ban was put on the fast track after this man a waiter at flora restaurant in oakland was hit in the face with a hammer during a protest that got out of control. now, the aclu is afraid this ban could be an infringement on

free speech. if it's not properly defined what a demonstration may be. but the city council said they had to do something to protect life and property here in oakland after not only these recent protests but what we saw during "occupy" oakland a couple of years ago. live in oakland, anne makovec, kpix 5. some developing news out of the south bay. police are looking for a suspect who brutally beat a man on san jose state's campus. it happened last night around 8:30 near the science building. officers say two men got into an argument at some point during a fight. the 22-year-old victim's head was slammed into the concrete several times. he suffered injuries to his face. the deadline to reach a compromise fast approaching now from bart in all of its employees. time for contract negotiations run out august 4 sunday nigh at midnight. they may strike monday. they met yesterday for the first time in 11 days. the union said it didn't go well. talks resume this morning at
