Oakland police said at least 29 people were arrested Wednesday night following protests in downtown Oakland.
Police said about 130 people marched into the downtown area just after 9:30 p.m. About an hour later, the crowd was in the area of the 1700 to 2000 block of Broadway and Telegraph Avenue when police said individuals in the crowd started throwing bricks and bottles at officers.
Police said there were acts of graffiti, illegal fireworks set off and trashcans thrown into the streets and on sidewalks. Officers at the scene requested mutual aid at 10:25 p.m. The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, the Berkeley Police Department, the Emeryville Police Department, the San Leandro Police Department and the California Highway Patrol responded to assist Oakland police.
Police said the arrests were for crimes such as vandalism, failure to disperse, resisting arrest and assault with a deadly weapon. Police said there were also several citations issued for vehicle code violations and Oakland Municipal Code violations.

If it comes down to who we can do without, the choice is clear. Why on earth would we stand by police who are keeping us safe, than a bunch of shaved apes who walk around with their pants half-way down, and stroking their genitals under their shorts in public and in full view of children, and burn cities to the ground, murder cops, and show up at their funerals to scream in the faces of grieving mourners about how peaceful their protest supporting cop-killers is.
All the black protestors are accomplishing is furthering the view that only radical nationalism can keep the police enforcing the law--which leads straight to handing the Republican Party the next election.
I hate the Republican Party--but you know who I hate more? The opposing losers who make their reign inevitable.
The Black Community and the KKK--working together to radicalize the government, militarize the police, and rid the world of everyone who looks like someone they blame.
