Many groups joined together for the demonstration of police brutality, including the ANSWER Coalition, who spoke on the behalf of the unacceptable police force. The street corner was decorated with banners up reading “Justice for O’Shane Evans,” and “ A Militarized Police Harms Beloved People.” The citizens also held up their signs calling for an end to

alifornia Collegiate Athletic Association play tipped off for the Cal State East Bay women’s basketball team this past weekend, who finished the home stand 1-1 and are now 5-2 overall this season. CSUEB lost to the 22nd ranked team in
the country Cal Poly Pomona, 76-60 on Friday followed up by a victory over UC San Diego 74-57 on Saturday at Pioneer Gymnasium in Hayward. The Pioneers were dominated by the Broncos in the first half of Friday’s game finding themselves down by 13 points at the break. “We didn’t have the size to battle down low,” CSUEB Head Coach Suzy Barcomb

The duo combined for 22 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and four steals
