Convenience Big Store: 4 Sacramento police officers released from hospital after being sprayed with 'liquid irritant'

Separate protests in Sacramento and Placerville show ongoing divide between Californians on issues surrounding race and police violence – Sacramento police declared an unlawful assembly Saturday night after they say more than 50 people showed up to the state Capitol to protest police violence. Sacramento police said some of the group reportedly threw rocks at officers. There were also two official reports of vandalism. Though the group dispersed on Saturday night, four police officers were reportedly sprayed with a 'liquid irritant' and were taken to the hospital. They have all since been released from the hospital, and no arrests have been made as of Sunday night, according to police. The Sacramento demonstration protesting police violence against people of color came a day after a protest of an entirely different sort in Placerville. The historic California gold rush mining town, also called 'Hangtown,' saw a group of Proud Boys and Placerville residents protest the removal of the noose from the city's logo. The symbol was removed after a unanimous City Council decision last week. (Joseph Daniels, Giacomo Luca, ABC10)

How one South Sacramento clinic is breaking the language barriers to getting a vaccine – As more people continue to get vaccinated, families are running into language barriers as most mass clinics are primarily English-speaking. But a weekly South Sacramento vaccination clinic is working to break down those barriers. Sacramento City Councilwoman Mai Vang, who is a first-generation Hmong-American herself, says at her clinic, they’ve got options. "So we have Hmong, we have Chinese, we have Tagalog, we have Vietnamese,” Vang said. Of the people that have gone through her clinic in the past six weeks, Vang said almost half indicated English is not their primary language or they don’t speak English at all. (Lena Howland, ABC10)

Popular science camp reimagines itself to serve Northern California students during pandemic – The Sly Park Science Camp in El Dorado County has been a long rite of passage for fifth and sixth graders in the Sacramento region. “Last year, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Sly Park Program, hundreds of thousands of young people went through it,” Dave Gordon, the Sacramento County Office of Education superintendent, said. “Generations now have gone through it.” This generation of students who had to endure learning during a pandemic don’t get to go to the camp physically, but thanks to some creative thinking, they will get to participate virtually.
