Protesters of Zimmerman acquittal march in California, Florida

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? Demonstrators took to the streets of San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles to denounce the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

Police did not offer crowd estimates, and no arrests have been reported.

The Oakland Tribune says (http://bit.ly/11Newz1 ) some windows on the newspaper's downtown offices were broken, and footage from a television helicopter show people attempting to start fires in the street and spray painting anti-police graffiti.

The late Saturday protest followed a raucous but largely peaceful one in San Francisco. Police say officers escorted demonstrators as they marched on the city's Mission District. The group was dispersed by 10 p.m.

The verdict in a Florida courtroom also sparked protests in Los Angeles, where demonstrators gathered in Leimert Park, the city's historically black neighborhood, and Tallahassee, Fla.
