Police in Oakland, California, said demonstrators broke windows and looted stores and that one person was arrested for allegedly assaulting an officer in the latest protest of police activity in the United States. Oakland and neighboring Berkeley have seen nightly demonstrations since the weekend, in response to decisions by two grand juries not to charge white police officers in the killings of unarmed black men in Ferguson, Missouri, and New York City. The city of Oakland said in a statement that on Wednesday night, about 150 protesters - a smaller crowd than on previous evenings - left the campus of University of California-Berkeley and demonstrated without incident before marching south into Oakland. http://yhoo.it/1zUPlXD http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
