Hundreds of protesters marched through Berkeley for hours Monday night, confronting police outside their headquarters before heading west and intermittently shutting down Interstate 80 in both directions near University Avenue.
The rally, the third in as many nights, began on Telegraph Avenue near UC Berkeley around 5 p.m. as hundreds gathered to denounce police killings of unarmed black men in Missouri and New York.
Now-familiar chants of Hands up! Dont shoot! and Out of the houses! Into the streets! rang out as the march moved up Durant Avenue and protesters called for students to leave their dormitories and join the demonstration.

Those fruits have been waiting for years to have something to protest about. This has to make them very happy.

It’s got to be all the poisons in the water in the Bay area.

Peaceful protest is when people gather in a field, light vigil candles, and sing songs together.
Halting innocents from traveling to their destinations...or potentially delaying a person from promptly reaching emergency medical care? That ain't so peaceful.

He prints nicely, for a THC-raddled Bezerker.
Like George Costanza, architect.

I think they are trying to provoke the Tea Party.

Whadayya expect when you don’t have a job or can’t find one because of Obama’s illegal immigration push and his economic policies. More people have worthless degrees than just about any other time in history now. Just means you have high college debt or come from wealth that paid your bills.

I think they are trying to provoke the Tea Party.I'd bet that they're trying to provoke law enforcement, even though that reaction has been pretty lax.
To: Lonely Bull
Get ready for 24/7 protests for at least the next two years...
The left behaves and think like petulant 12 yr old girls.
