Protesters against the police actions in Ferguson, Mo. as well as police killings of other suspects in California and other states gathered in Oakland on Wednesday.
A couple of hundred demonstrators gathered at Oakland Police headquarters on 7th and Broadway and faced off with officers in riot gear.
Some protesters unveiled a new tactic, by holding up mirrors in the faces of officers.
I was holding up the mirror because I wanted the police to just look at themselves. Especially if they were about to take some kind of action just so they had to acknowledge what they were doing, protester Nichola Torbett told KPIX 5.

You can’t slash a cope with flowers, but you can slash a cop with a glass mirror.
Hands up !!! Now loot !!!
Something like 400 total police shootings last year out of millions of arrests and millions more encounters.
Now how many blacks were killed by other blacks last year?
Every cop everywhere in this country should go on strike. Give the thugs free reign to do whatever they want, letting people take care of themselves. This country needs an enema.
“these demonstrations are probably being staged for TV imo”
Absolutely.
And TV “news” is there to broadcast the staged protests.
Its the Ferguson show.
How many years bad luck do you get for shooting through a mirror?

Thanks for sharing those links, key largo.
Not in the Obama economy. Also unemployment high among blacks so that’s why they’re protesting instead of working.
