Police Brutality

On November 8th, 2010 a man by the name of Derrick Jones was gun down by an officer while down on the floor. It was said that the officers only fired because they thought that Jones was reaching for a weapon. After investigation it was found out that Jones was not armed and did not commit any crimes. Due to the death of Mr. Jones a protest was held November 11,2010 at 3 p.m. with a rally in front of Jone's barbershop on Bancroft Avenue, in Oakland. As many people began to gather the first hundred people gathered to hear speakers, the mood of the crowd the mood of the crowd began to get worst.
