California: 25 Arrested for Blocking Police HQ in Oakland, California 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The ruling comes amid mass protests over unpunished police killings of
unarmed African Americans. On Monday in Oakland, California, at least 25
people were arrested as protesters shut down entrances to the Oakland
Police Department by chaining themselves to the doors and locking their
arms together at a nearby intersection. One activist climbed a flagpole
and raised a banner showing the images of African Americans killed by
police.
