I saw in the SF Appeal that Police Chief Gascon doesn't expect any “problems” in San Francisco following the verdict in the Oscar Grant trail: “[there is] absolutely no evidence… that will lead us to believe there will be any problems [in San Francisco].”   Now, I clearly don't have a pulse on what's going on in the city activist ring like the police, but just walking around the city, it's hard not to come across a lot of Oscar Grant street art, suggesting that people in SF give a shit about the outcome and are clearly motivated enough to vandalize property even before the verdict.  Is that not evidence of potential unrest?  For example, one of my favorite Flickr users, Terry B., snapped the above Banksy-esque poster on Linden St. yesterday.  Or you can just roll to Valencia.

Then again, anyone interested in smashing windows will probably just head over to Oakland.
