CBSN
Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets of Oakland, California, on Friday night to voice their anger over the deadly police shootings of Daunte Wright and 13-year-old Adam Toledo. The rally quickly turned violent and destructive with protesters setting fires, smashing windows and blocking streets, CBS SF Bay Area reports.
Wright died in an officer-involved shooting in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, and Toledo was killed last month in Chicago. The protest began peacefully with 250-300 demonstrators marching through the streets of downtown Oakland. As the hours passed, splinter groups broke away and began creating mayhem, according to CBS SF Bay Area.More Related News
