The sound resonated off the pavement like drums in perfect harmony. Boom! boom! The protest was coming. And it was huge.
As I looked up to the sky, I saw police helicopters and big droplets of rain coming toward my face . When I look to my left I see people like me. People who want justice. But the Oakland Police Department were looking like they wanted to stop us from having and getting justice.
It was December 15th and there were about 3 dozen or more people in the protests supporting the shut down the police department of Oakland,California. We were rallying in front of the OPD because we successfully shut their station down and changed their flag to ours. A flag of all the boys murdered by the police.
“Shut it down for Micheal Brown! ” the protesters chanted finally as we walked away.
