Protests

I'm not sure if any of you have heard that we had a 'murder' here and protests are going on. Our train system that runs from the SF airport up through the East Bay is called 'BART'. Well on New Years Day, a guy was shot by a cop. I still don't know what the guy did but everyone whipped out their phones and recorded it via video. This happened in Oakland. Now, in Oakland, there are protests like daily because everyone is calling the cops 'killers' and this was a hate crime. So, needless to say, people are pissed and people in the Bay Area Loooooooove to protest.

Last night, there was another one. It got rowdy. People got arrested. Here is a funny picture from the protest though:
