Protesters in California clash with police

WASHINGTON: Angry protesters in California—some vandalizing, looting and clashing with police—gathered for a second night Monday to condemn recent killings of black suspects by white officers.
Hundreds of protesters gathered late Sunday and continued marching into early Monday in the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, according to police in the western US state.
Some smashed store windows and looted shops and a fire was set in a residential street in Berkeley. The marchers also blocked a major highway as they moved to the neighboring city of Oakland amid a heavy police presence.
Berkeley police said some of the approximately 600 protesters lobbed bottles and overturned trash cans, which they also set ablaze, according to a news agency.
