Property Damage, Looting From Protestors In Berkely Area

Protests in New York and Missouri have died down, but angry crowds in California spent much of the weekend blocking traffic and clashing with police in this ultra-liberal bastion thousands of miles from the where Michael Brown and Eric Garner were killed. Although many activists in other parts of the country have gone home, protests in Berkeley and Oakland are still active, reflecting the area’s long history of protest dating back to the 1960s and strict limits on local police powers.
