A stretch of the Nimitz reopened early Friday morning after Oakland protesters had shut it down - almost holding a party there - while also setting a small fire and ripping down a Caltrans board.

In addition, some protesters painted Oakland police headquarters in red and broke glass and spraypainted a daunting message to police on a side wall that read "MURDERERS" in all capital letters. Nearby, there were smashed windows at Foot Locker and Chase bank on Broadway at 14th Street.

At that time in Oakland, there were speeches and marches, and despite the angry mood of the crowd, the people who attended were mostly peaceful. [emphasis added]

Diedra Barber, who attended the rally, tweeted, "Can't hear anything, but nice to be around other angry people."

Just one arrest (vandalism). At least Oakland wasn't threatened with angry Tea Partiers, who are anything but "mostly peaceful"!

I have to go to that very building (or within 2 blocks) to post bail on a traffic ticket. No, not today, but soon.

So the police didn’t even defend police HQ. Soon the police won’t come out other than in force and the citizenry who so hate the police can see how to live with no police at all.

protesters painted Oakland police headquarters

Police allowed their own headquarters to be vandalized without reacting?

CA is in worse trouble than even I thought.

What we’re about to realize this week is: a large segment of the America population is not appalled or even upset at what happened in Dallas.

Rather, they are celebrating the assassination of police officers.

Community organizers (anarchists and marxists) have become a national security threat. Hope and change my ass.

They'll be fine with it - because they will be the ones preying on others (who will soon wish the police were back in their 'hood).

I doubt that it was written in cursive...

I understand there was a big sale on Nike sneakers...100% off.

Obama supporters are violent.

Obama supporters are gang minded.

Obama supporters are drug minded.

Obama supporters threaten families.

Obama supporters abandon their own families.

Obama supporters threaten families, children, and have wars on others who are not like them.

Black Lives Matter is a domestic terrorist group with international links to terrorist groups that target America as well as with terrorist extremists abroad who want to murder our police including Islamic terrorists.

Obama and Pelosi stoked on domestic terrorism and a war of terrorism against our police.

Blank Lives Matter and other domestic terrorist groups are targeting democracy itself.

Lynch caused this. Obama caused this. That Democratic Party pig who in the opening of the hearings with the FBI director regarding Hillary Clinton’s crimes caused this and instead of staying on subject he immediately went into an anti-cop attack and stoked on riots.

The Democratic Party is the Enemy of Democracy.

“confused- who has been murdered by the Oakland police?”
__________________________________________________

Judging from the set up in Dallas, nothing has to happen locally anymore to spark violence.

A black can be shot (whether or not the police shooting was justified or not) in one area of the country and the fallout happens in another.

All part of the plan you see...

Same ones who were murdered by Dallas cops.

This is an inside revolution by those who want chaos and mayhem as cover for more heinous crimes. They are "Black Hitlers" who want to purge the Nation of all but their own kind.

My sincerest regrets for all the decent Blacks who will be looked at with a leery eye because of these terrorists...

Tell me how this ends. If this doesn’t end with a race war, what will? Michael Savage was right.

STOP THE COMING CIVIL WAR

Oakland is being devoured by its own leftism.

Collective guilt, as bewildering as it sounds.

A white man owned a slave in the 19th century? All white people today are guilty and bear responsibility.

A white officer shoots a black man - all white cops are evil killers of African Americans.

Really, this is the reasoning with such people.
