More Than 30 Arrested In Oakland During Ferguson-Related Protests
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say more than 30 protesters have been arrested in Oakland as a third night of demonstrations related to the Ferguson protests deteriorated into unrest and vandalism.
Police spokeswoman Johnna Watson says the 33 arrests came late Wednesday following a march by about 100 people through Oakland streets to protest a Missouri grand jury's refusal to indict a white police officer in the shooting death of a young black man.
She says that later small groups began moving through the streets with some vandalizing property, mainly breaking windows.
Most of the protesters had dispersed but shortly before midnight Watson said that there was still a very small group that police were monitoring.
On Monday and Tuesday, some demonstrators vandalized businesses and blocked freeways to protest the decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
