Occupiers put out the word after the verdict last night, but of course, this is some way no different than many other Occupy Oakland riots-it?s Oakland and Occupy, so just another Saturday night.
Via SF Gate:
Protesters marched through the streets of San Francisco and Oakland on Saturday evening, upset at the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida.
In San Francisco, demonstrators marched through the Mission District after gathering at the 24th Street Mission BART Station. Hundreds marched down Valencia Street, chanting ?Justice for Trayvon Martin.?
The crowd dispersed peacefully, and officers will ?maintain a presence in the Mission District for the time being,? said San Francisco police Officer Gordon Shyy, a department spokesman. Another protest was scheduled for 4 p.m. Sunday at Powell and Market streets.
Across the bay in Oakland, however, about 125 protesters gathered at Frank Ogawa Plaza outside City Hall before marching through downtown, starting small fires and smashing windows at the Wells Fargo Bank at 12th Street and Broadway and at several locations, including the Dogwood Bar, the Oakland Tribune and the Sears store.
A BART police car parked outside the 12th Street BART Station had its windows smashed, and protesters spray-painted ?F- the police? and ?Kill Pigs? on the side of the vehicle.
