Downtown Sacramento at the Arena has been the site of anti-police, non-violent demonstrations by residents angry at the killing of a South Sacramento man in a backyard. The man showed a cell phone while running from police and the penalty was death. The South Sacramento area has been a low-income neighborhood for years, showing signs of gentrification for a few years.
The city has decided to build a large facility to help released prisoners transition to civilian life, which is opposed by South Sacramento homeowners. There is community opposition to the plan because it is expected to bring more crime to the area.
