'Black Lives Matter' Demonstrations Continue Across Bay Area

Protesters continue to take to the streets across the Bay Area, pushing for police to be held criminally liable for the separate killings of three unarmed black men: Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and most recently Tamir Rice, a Cleveland 12-year-old shot in a park. Will the protests bring about changes, and how are today's protests different from past movements?
