Courthouse set on fire during protest in Oakland

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - A protest through the streets of downtown Oakland, California, in support of racial justice and police reform turned violent when "agitators" among the demonstrators set fire to a courthouse, vandalized a police station and shot fireworks at officers, authorities said.

About 700 demonstrators participated in what started as a peaceful march Saturday night but then some broke from the larger group and smashed windows, spray-painted graffiti and pointed lasers at officers, the Oakland Police Department said on Twitter. Several tweets called for peace and asked organizers to "help us provide safe spaces and safe places for demonstrators."

Several fires were set in the downtown area, including one at the Alameda County Superior Courthouse that was quickly contained. Police said protesters at one point were "breaking windows and chanting racial slurs at residents." Photos tweeted by the department showed broken glass and paint splattered on the police headquarters building.

Video posted by police showed a man kicking down barricades in front of the building after an "unlawful assembly" was declared by police around 11:30 p.m. and officers asked the crowd to disperse. Police said they made several arrests but did not provide details. There were no immediate reports of injuries to protesters or officers.

AP has been doing that since they supported Hitler and his street thugs:
Cancel Culture’s Curious Passes!

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously and accepting both of them.” - George Orwell, 1984

(CU News) - The originally peaceful BLM protest voices have morphed and now extended into Europe with the heavy influx of groups similar to Antifa. In Europe, we continue to see the same inconsistency with regards to the removal of historical figures and stories. It’s an interesting dynamic that’s clearly been overtaken by a political movement lurking in the background. If the protests were indeed about equality and civil rights, would these corporations be exempt knowing their exclusive relationships with the NAZI Party or ongoing corruptible behaviors?

Is this writing intended to promote protests? No. The exclusion isn’t unintentional or merely an oversight by the protesters. With that being understood, we are left with no worries on that half of the table. Let’s take a look at some of the companies with worrisome histories of poor choices related to social justice.

The first example is one of the most guarded abuses of trust in modern times..

AP News Agency

AP provides much of the basic, on-the-ground-reporting and images for a large portion of the news that you now read and watch. They were also NAZI collaborators.

Most international news organizations withdrew from Germany during the NAZI years, but the AP remained — and fired all their local Jewish staff along the way. As early as the mid 1930s, AP began refusing to publish images depicting the discrimination against Jews in Germany.

The AP knowingly sold images of Jews from inside Germany and around the world to be used in anti-semitic propaganda. They were also the leading supplier of images for a propaganda book called The Jews in the USA, and in third place among suppliers of photos for the anti-semitic book The Subhuman.

The AP also sold images from Germany to the rest of the world. These images could only leave the country after being inspected by senior SS members. As a result, the AP was publishing images that showed NAZI members as heroic leaders and Jews as subhuman cowards.

This collaboration with the German government was unprecedented for a foreign news press service and contributed to NAZI propaganda both within and outside of Germany.

ironically it is the courthouse named after one of the most liberal african american congressmen ever (RON DELLUMS) that is being torched. of course this follows the attack on the mayor’s house (who is also far left).

the antifa types are now torching government buildings because all the private businesses have long since been boarded up or bankrupted. So there is nothing left to loot, only to destroy.

i fear the looters will head my direction next but we don’t have public transit so it will take them more than a day in the hot sun or they’ll have to carpool, and our local PD will cut them off at the freeway exits.
