The annual fireworks show in Oakland's Jack London Square, was  cancelled this year.

According to the Oakland Tribune,  instead there was " Family Fun" yesterday. The free event  took place at Broadway and Embarcadero.

Staffing of sworn officers in Oakland’s Police Department has been problematical for many years.
