OAKLAND (CBS SF) u BART trains are running through the Transbay
Tube again Friday afternoon after a group of activists
protesting the Ferguson grand jury decision were arrested for
halting BART service at the West Oakland station.

BART police arrested 14 protesters who chained themselves to
trains on both sides of the West Oakland station shortly after
10:30 a.m., preventing any trains from traveling through the
station for more than hour.

Shortly before 1 p.m., BART reopened the West Oakland station.

During the disruption, AC Transit honored BART tickets for
passengers at the Transbay terminal, which offers O and NL buses
to shuttle passengers between San Francisco and West Oakland. A
BART bus bridge had also been set up from Oakland to San
Francisco.

KCBS reports the activists, who were wearing oBlack Lives
Mattero T-shirts, intended to keep the West Oakland station shut
down for at least four hours to symbolize the 4.5 hours Michael
BrownAs body had reportedly been left in the street after he was
shot by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson.

Numerous posts on Twitter linked the protest to #BlackoutBlack
Friday, a nationwide campaign meant to bring attention to the
August fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown and a grand
juryAs decision earlier this week not to indict the police
officer who killed him.

Man, the Internet is just bending itself into pretzels to
justify the "noble" actions of the Ferguson rioters, isn't it?

and to justify that murder of an unarmed black teen.

I am willing to say that i don't support violence, looting,
rioting etc are you willing to at least say that killing a teen
is wrong and that justice was not served? I'm not trying to
justify violence, i'm simply pointing out hypocrisy

An Oakland Black thug shot blindly through a door and killed an
8 year old Black girl... Nary a voice of moral outrage
raised...from the Black community....

Ignorant blacks think they are making a point by causing
problems for regular hard working people who take BART. Just the
opposite. If anything they reinforce the stereotype of blacks
out of control.
Fact is black lives matter little when your late for work or you
missed that job interview or airline flight that you saved up
for.

Causing problems for innocent people who have nothing to do with
their problem real or imagined is wrong, stupid and
irresponsible.

Michael Brown was a human being not a thug or an animal. Some of
you have had squeaky clean past and probably can't relate. Some
people know what it's like to be young, reckless, defiant, and
prone to making lots of mistakes.
Whether Michael Brown stole cigarettes, a car, or a plane
doesn't matter. He shouldn't be DEAD today.
White male supremacy culture has pushed black people to be in
the state they're in today. Many white people wanna tell black
people and black leaders to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and yet these
same people refuse to take responsibility for slavery (where's
reperations?)
what happened to all those treaties that our gov't signed with
native americans?
Where are the people taking responsibility for unjust drug laws
that send a disproportionate amount of black men to jail (which
destroys families).
Where are the people taking responsibility for the ecological
genocide that's happening right now That's DESTROYING THE F*#@
planet.
AND YOU'RE MAD ABOUT A TRAIN RUNNING LATE????????
lack of responsibility isn't a black problem, it's an american
problem. I'm not here to say black people are saints and whites
are devils. We're all doing the best we can.
These protesters are trying to get people to WAKE UP. i'm glad
people are getting fired up on both sides cuz that means you're
alive.

My great grandfather was killed fighting to free the slaves, so
you can shove your reparations BS up your ass. I owe you nothing.
