Features a press conference with Mayor Dianne Feinstein who acknowledges yesterday's rioting in the context of remembering what would have been the birthday of former Supervisor Harvey Milk. She asserts that: "What the dream of San Francisco is has been to try and create an open a tolerant and progressive city in which people can live respectful of the rights of one another."
