25 arrested at ‘black lives matter’ protest in Oakland, California

Californian police made 25 arrests on Monday as protesters chained themselves to the doors of the Oakland police headquarters.

Demonstrators blocked streets around the building and chained shut four doors to protest against recent grand jury decisions not to indict white police officers who killed unarmed black men in Ferguson, Missouri, and New York.

Protesters in front of one entrance held a sign reading “End the War on Black People.”
