At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

"content": "\u003cp>For years Martin Kunz has been looking down the hill from his office at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, out over the water, at one of the longest piers in California — the Berkeley Pier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I see this every day from my office when I have lunch, and I was curious what the history behind this is,” he said. He submitted a question to Bay Curious, so off we went to find the answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lately, the Berkeley Pier has primarily been used as a fishing pier, but decades ago it had a very different purpose.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Berkeley’s Population Boom\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Back in the early 20th century, Berkeley was growing fast. Its population went from 13,214 residents in 1900 to 56,036 in 1920. Thousands of refugees from San Francisco’s 1906 earthquake found homes in Berkeley, the University of California experienced rapid expansion and an electric train system connected Berkeley to other Bay Area cities, such as Oakland.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berkeley was establishing itself as an urban center, yet many of its residents still worked jobs in San Francisco. To get there, workers commuted by train to Oakland and then by boat to San Francisco — an inconvenient journey that makes today’s commute look like a cakewalk. So, in 1926, the Golden Gate Ferry Co. began building a pier that would bring auto ferries to Berkeley. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the construction was finished, the dock was 3½ miles long, making it one of the longest piers in the state. Why so long? Parts of San Francisco Bay are very shallow. Underneath the pier, the water is between 7 and 9 feet deep. The pier needed to reach parts of the bay where the water was deep enough for a ferry to travel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A longer dock also meant that the ferry company saved a lot of money. In other words, you had to drive all the way out to the end of the pier and use your gas instead of them using gas for the ferry,” says Chuck Wollenberg, professor of history at Berkeley City College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ferry service began at the pier in 1929. The three boats were named Golden Bear, Golden Poppy and Golden Shore.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10680832\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/IMG_4560.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10680832 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/IMG_4560-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4560\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/IMG_4560-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/IMG_4560-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/IMG_4560-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/IMG_4560-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/IMG_4560-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/IMG_4560-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The end of the pier today is much closer to shore than it once was, but cement pilings can still be seen far across the bay. \u003ccite>(Jessica Placzek/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Car Talk\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 1920s saw tremendous growth in the number of Americans driving personal automobiles. Ford’s assembly line made cars more affordable, and it wasn’t long before cars surpassed trains in popularity. After all, this was a time when Republicans claimed that \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Republican prosperity had brought \u003cem>“a chicken in every pot. And a car in every backyard.”\u003c/em> \u003c/span>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">As more cars hit the roa\u003c/span>d, more cars relied on the ferries at the Berkeley Pier, and l\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">ines could be long. Whenever Stanford played football against Cal at UC Berkeley, lines would stretch beyond the 3½ miles of pier. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The mother of all traffic jams in the Bay Area occurred at the end of the Labor Day weekend,” says Wollenberg. “There was a four-hour wait. When people tried to cut in, people would take out revolvers and threaten people.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But the same thing that created demand for the ferries also brought about the dock’s demise. With the rising popularity of cars, California legislators decided to create a bridge between Alameda County and San Francisco. The same year the ferries started running, engineers began laying plans for the Bay Bridge.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Bay Bridge opened on Nov. 12, 1936. Former President Herbert Hoover watched as California Gov. Frank Merriam cut the ceremonial chain opening the bridge . The Golden Gate Ferry Co. would last only two more years, eventually calling it quits and giving the pier to the city of Berkeley. In total, the Berkeley auto ferries had run less than 10 years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10680824\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/16384661292_d921040237_k-e1442176689248.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10680824 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/16384661292_d921040237_k-800x184.jpg\" alt=\"16384661292_d921040237_k\" width=\"800\" height=\"184\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A panorama shows the Berkeley Pier at the right.

It opened in spring 1938 and in the first year attracted 50,000 people. The Berkeley Recreation Department charged an admission fee of 10 cents for pedestrians and 25 cents for automobiles.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fishing became a popular pastime on the pier and kids were encouraged to learn. Civic leaders in the ’40s and ’50s even suggested that fishing on the pier could reduce juvenile delinquency in the area.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10680825\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/3710445129_9d3f66e753_o-e1442176636946.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10680825 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/3710445129_9d3f66e753_o-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dozens of people would fish off the Berkeley Pier each day while it was open.

He submitted a question to Bay Curious, so off we went to find the answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lately, the Berkeley Pier has primarily been used as a fishing pier, but decades ago it had a very different purpose.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Berkeley’s Population Boom\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Back in the early 20th century, Berkeley was growing fast. Its population went from 13,214 residents in 1900 to 56,036 in 1920. Thousands of refugees from San Francisco’s 1906 earthquake found homes in Berkeley, the University of California experienced rapid expansion and an electric train system connected Berkeley to other Bay Area cities, such as Oakland.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berkeley was establishing itself as an urban center, yet many of its residents still worked jobs in San Francisco. To get there, workers commuted by train to Oakland and then by boat to San Francisco — an inconvenient journey that makes today’s commute look like a cakewalk. So, in 1926, the Golden Gate Ferry Co. began building a pier that would bring auto ferries to Berkeley. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Ford’s assembly line made cars more affordable, and it wasn’t long before cars surpassed trains in popularity. After all, this was a time when Republicans claimed that \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Republican prosperity had brought \u003cem>“a chicken in every pot. And a car in every backyard.”\u003c/em> \u003c/span>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">As more cars hit the roa\u003c/span>d, more cars relied on the ferries at the Berkeley Pier, and l\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">ines could be long. Whenever Stanford played football against Cal at UC Berkeley, lines would stretch beyond the 3½ miles of pier. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The mother of all traffic jams in the Bay Area occurred at the end of the Labor Day weekend,” says Wollenberg. “There was a four-hour wait. When people tried to cut in, people would take out revolvers and threaten people.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But the same thing that created demand for the ferries also brought about the dock’s demise. With the rising popularity of cars, California legislators decided to create a bridge between Alameda County and San Francisco. The same year the ferries started running, engineers began laying plans for the Bay Bridge.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Bay Bridge opened on Nov. 12, 1936. Former President Herbert Hoover watched as California Gov. Frank Merriam cut the ceremonial chain opening the bridge . The Golden Gate Ferry Co. would last only two more years, eventually calling it quits and giving the pier to the city of Berkeley. In total, the Berkeley auto ferries had run less than 10 years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10680824\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/16384661292_d921040237_k-e1442176689248.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10680824 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/09/16384661292_d921040237_k-800x184.jpg\" alt=\"16384661292_d921040237_k\" width=\"800\" height=\"184\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A panorama shows the Berkeley Pier at the right.

It opened in spring 1938 and in the first year attracted 50,000 people. The Berkeley Recreation Department charged an admission fee of 10 cents for pedestrians and 25 cents for automobiles.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fishing became a popular pastime on the pier and kids were encouraged to learn.

Thirteen people were arrested and two taken to the hospital, said Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”IBD2gdxrryNK6YaiiXrNNn0CaN0zotKY”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People hit the streets to protest the “No to Marxism in America” rally planned for MLK Civic Center Park — though its organizer asked supporters late Saturday not to show up. The rally had been expected to draw white supremacist and nationalist groups, but only a few far-right supporters turned out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many police, donned in riot gear and gas masks, were on hand to deal with the crowd when the antifa and members of far-right Patriot Prayer showed up. At one point, hundreds of protesters pushed past barricades and occupied the park at about 1:30 p.m. as police watched. Video footage shows Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson, who had attempted to hold a far-right rally in San Francisco on Saturday, being chased from the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The violence was short-lived. The Rev. Ben McBride of Berkeley led protesters in a chant of “victory” after taking over the park and expelling the small number of far-right supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people want to hide that kind of white supremacy under the guise of free speech and political persuasion, we see it as our duty to make it very clear that we resist that kind of racist ideology, and we’re going to continue to protect people that migrated from the South to have that kind of freedom and protection here in the Bay Area,” McBride said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FThisIsReveal%2Fvideos%2F1516339905123589%2F&show_text=0&width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comedian W.

Police earlier barricaded MLK Civic Center Park and were checking bags to allow people in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many parts of Berkeley were filled with people protesting the far right. At the corner of Center and Oxford streets, people chanted, “No hate, no fear, Nazis get out of here,” and “When immigrants are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ben Stern, a 95-year-old Holocaust survivor, marched with protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is united that we can defeat hate, racism,” Stern said. “It’s only when we will defeat those forces that we will have peace in this great country of ours.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11614187\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11614187\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-3-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Demonstrators hold signs at Oxford and Center streets in Berkeley on Aug. 27, 2017. \u003ccite>(Sheraz Sadiq/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/JohnLGC/status/901872030772899841\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters had earlier surrounded a man at the Civic Center Park holding a sign reading “God Bless Donald Trump” and chanted “Not my president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of law enforcement agencies were deployed in Berkeley, including the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department, the Oakland Police Department and the California Highway Patrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protests come a day after thousands turned out to demonstrate against a far-right rally organized by Patriot Prayer’s Gibson \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/25/one-right-wing-rally-canceled-as-bay-area-officials-push-back-against-fringe-right-rallies/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in San Francisco\u003c/a> that was twice relocated and then canceled before it began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibson first canceled his rally at Crissy Field, citing various restrictions placed on his group by the National Park Service and law enforcement agencies.

At his bond hearing, an Alameda County judge ordered Chapman -- who often leads others into violent clashes -- to stay away from the Berkeley protest should he post a $135,000 bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, Berkeley city officials \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/08/18/berkeley-grants-city-manager-power-make-temporary-protest-rules/\">passed an ordinance\u003c/a> granting the city manager broad powers to ban weapons during rallies that don't have permits. The move -- criticized by both the far left and right -- is expected to allow police to act more aggressively when protests turn to riots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think our goal is to contain the event around the block so it doesn’t spill out to a broader area,” Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin told KQED. “The rules we will be putting in place around objects will make a big difference, and we will have a very visible police presence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Third, Berkeley Assistant City Manager Jovan Grogan denied a permit to organizer Amber Cummings. The denial was issued in part because Cummings wanted to use amplified sound powered by a generator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Applicants wishing to use sound outdoors for an event must obtain a permit no less than thirty days from the date of the event,” Grogan wrote in the denial letter. “Failure to do so is grounds for an automatic denial.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cummings applied for the permit 10 days before the rally was scheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The haphazard organizing has been a hallmark of many of these events, which are often thrown together at sensitive times as a tool to incite anger and violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if this weekend passes without major acts of violence, it should be examined if officials like Grogan helped keep the peace by cutting the power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In Limiting Weapons, Officials Cut Fringe-Right Media Production Options\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The threat of violence at these rallies – \u003ca href=\"http://www.opb.org/news/article/jeremy-joseph-christian-portland-stabbing-suspect-charged-with-murder/\">and in the days afterward\u003c/a> -- is real, and city officials have urged counterprotesters to stay away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And under the guise of public safety, officials have quietly taken away the tools that make creating on-the-scene media easy for the fringe right. Media production \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/17/why-trumps-words-spoken-and-unspoken-matter-to-white-supremacists/\">is an essential component\u003c/a> for their recruitment drives since it gives white supremacists and others the ability to portray themselves as a besieged, righteous movement fighting against liberals and the mainstream media. These videos \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/16/do-police-allow-safe-spaces-for-white-nationalist-violence/\">are a key motivator\u003c/a> in attending these chaotic rallies, and often fuel conspiracy theories used to deflect from criticism of violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, organizers of both Bay Area rallies said they chose the locations because of the powerful backdrops they provide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s beautiful, obviously,” said Patriot Prayer organizer Gibson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While officials couldn’t stop these political actors from using their sets of choice, they have seriously curtailed their ability to record and livestream the action. In San Francisco, for example, selfie sticks, camera helmets, drones, tripods and large bags that often hold over-the-shoulder cameras would not be allowed in the demonstration area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco officials negotiated with the National Park Service to ban these items. Mayor Lee said it was solely related to public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We insisted on the highest levels of public safety,” Lee said. “And these things were used as weapons [at other rallies].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, a real-world side consequence is that the fringe right won’t be able to livestream their event and have both hands free to fight. San Francisco Board of Supervisors President London Breed said if the banned items mean it’s harder for the fringe right to broadcast themselves, then so be it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These images continue to tear our country apart,” Breed said. “They want all eyes on them, which is why they’re doing what they’re doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613966\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11613966 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People take photos and video of a \"Make America Great Again\" hat on that was burned during a demonstration against the scheduled appearance of Milo Yiannopoulos at UC Berkeley on Feb. 1, 2017.

At his bond hearing, an Alameda County judge ordered Chapman -- who often leads others into violent clashes -- to stay away from the Berkeley protest should he post a $135,000 bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, Berkeley city officials \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/08/18/berkeley-grants-city-manager-power-make-temporary-protest-rules/\">passed an ordinance\u003c/a> granting the city manager broad powers to ban weapons during rallies that don't have permits. The move -- criticized by both the far left and right -- is expected to allow police to act more aggressively when protests turn to riots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think our goal is to contain the event around the block so it doesn’t spill out to a broader area,” Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin told KQED. “The rules we will be putting in place around objects will make a big difference, and we will have a very visible police presence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Third, Berkeley Assistant City Manager Jovan Grogan denied a permit to organizer Amber Cummings. The denial was issued in part because Cummings wanted to use amplified sound powered by a generator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Applicants wishing to use sound outdoors for an event must obtain a permit no less than thirty days from the date of the event,” Grogan wrote in the denial letter. “Failure to do so is grounds for an automatic denial.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cummings applied for the permit 10 days before the rally was scheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The haphazard organizing has been a hallmark of many of these events, which are often thrown together at sensitive times as a tool to incite anger and violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if this weekend passes without major acts of violence, it should be examined if officials like Grogan helped keep the peace by cutting the power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In Limiting Weapons, Officials Cut Fringe-Right Media Production Options\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The threat of violence at these rallies – \u003ca href=\"http://www.opb.org/news/article/jeremy-joseph-christian-portland-stabbing-suspect-charged-with-murder/\">and in the days afterward\u003c/a> -- is real, and city officials have urged counterprotesters to stay away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And under the guise of public safety, officials have quietly taken away the tools that make creating on-the-scene media easy for the fringe right. Media production \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/17/why-trumps-words-spoken-and-unspoken-matter-to-white-supremacists/\">is an essential component\u003c/a> for their recruitment drives since it gives white supremacists and others the ability to portray themselves as a besieged, righteous movement fighting against liberals and the mainstream media. These videos \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/16/do-police-allow-safe-spaces-for-white-nationalist-violence/\">are a key motivator\u003c/a> in attending these chaotic rallies, and often fuel conspiracy theories used to deflect from criticism of violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, organizers of both Bay Area rallies said they chose the locations because of the powerful backdrops they provide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s beautiful, obviously,” said Patriot Prayer organizer Gibson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While officials couldn’t stop these political actors from using their sets of choice, they have seriously curtailed their ability to record and livestream the action. In San Francisco, for example, selfie sticks, camera helmets, drones, tripods and large bags that often hold over-the-shoulder cameras would not be allowed in the demonstration area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco officials negotiated with the National Park Service to ban these items. Mayor Lee said it was solely related to public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We insisted on the highest levels of public safety,” Lee said. “And these things were used as weapons [at other rallies].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, a real-world side consequence is that the fringe right won’t be able to livestream their event and have both hands free to fight. San Francisco Board of Supervisors President London Breed said if the banned items mean it’s harder for the fringe right to broadcast themselves, then so be it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These images continue to tear our country apart,” Breed said. “They want all eyes on them, which is why they’re doing what they’re doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613966\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11613966 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS23997_20170201_MiloYiannopoulos_protest_Cal_Credit_BertJohnson-12-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People take photos and video of a \"Make America Great Again\" hat on that was burned during a demonstration against the scheduled appearance of Milo Yiannopoulos at UC Berkeley on Feb. 1, 2017.
