Street Action After Oscar Grant Rally and March, Oakland, 1/7/09: photos & video (2 of 3)
After a police car was attacked and riot police fired tear gas at 8th Street and Madison, protesters ran through the streets in small groups, occasionally re-massing until standoffs with police forced them to split into smaller groups again.
The original march numbered in the hundreds, but after the tear gas attack from police the number of protesters remaining was halved overall for the rest of the night.
This first photo was taken after still-active protesters had dispersed west down 8th Street toward Broadway and most of the riot police had moved slowly after them. The two officers who had abandoned their vehicle to marchers stand to the right.
Video of the precipitating escalation with the police cruiser can be found here: https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/01/08/18560134.php.
