Protests broke out in several US cities after Trump was elected president.
Protests broke out in several US cities early Wednesday after Trump won the presidential election.
In Oakland, people blocked traffic along the freeways, lit trash fires, and broke windows in downtown businesses just hours after Trump took the surprising victory.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported a woman suffered major injuries after being struck by an SUV when hundreds of protesters walked onto Highway 20.
Police could not verify reports of injuries.
"They’re spread out and moving around in different locations. We’re trying to make sure they don't do anything against the law," O'Reilly said.
