案涉事警察不起诉的裁决，全美示威游行已经蔓延东西海岸多日。加州当地时间8日连
续第三晚出现大规模骚乱。在伯克利，上千名示威者走上大街游行数小时，并涌入高速
路，造成80号洲际公路被迫关闭，还有示威者走上一处火车站，躺在铁轨阻止火车运行。
8日晚，伯克利的示威者在前往火车站之前，先在警局总部与防暴警察对峙。随后
前往一处火车站致使车站关闭。示威者继续从大学路往西行进，在进入80号州际公路一
条四车道后，公路两个方向都被迫关闭。
防暴警察封锁了高速路，示威者则试图绕过警察进入高速，一开始没有成功，但随
后示威者占领高速，并阻止了两个方向的交通。
数十名示威者还前往铁路，并拦下一辆火车。
一名41岁在加州大学伯克利分校工作的男子伍德下班后加入示威游行，他在采访中
称：“因为我厌恶透了警察的暴行。”
他称当他看到两名手无寸铁的非裔被警察枪杀的新闻后，感到很痛心。他称这种事
情不应该发生在任何种族身上。
不过比起7日晚上的骚乱，当晚的示威要和平很多。
伯克利市长贝特斯在当晚称：“伯克利的人们对弗格森和纽约所发生的事表达同情
是一件很好的事，但我不愿意看到和平集会变成暴力骚乱。”

ERKELEY (BCN) - The North Berkeley BART station closed around 8 p.m.
Saturday evening due to a civil disturbance in the area, BART officials said.
BART officials also closed the downtown Berkeley BART station around 7 p.m.
A peaceful protest of roughly 400 people marching down Shattuck Avenue in
Berkeley turned violent in the area of University Avenue and Martin Luther
King Jr. Way, said Berkeley police Officer Jennifer Coats.
Coats said at least one officer sustained minor injuries after demonstrators
threw rocks and other projectiles at police. Police officers tried to stop
the protest by throwing tear gas into the crowd.
Windows were broken at the Trader Joe's grocery store on University Avenue
along with produce crates strewn in the street and wine bottles smashed on
the ground.
Protesters were also marching near the University Avenue entrance to
Interstate Highway 80 in an effort to breach the freeway.
A California Highway Patrol officer said protesters did not make it onto the
freeway and only caused temporary delays.
As of around 7 p.m., Coats said police had not yet made any arrests in
Berkeley and some protesters are continuing to march.
The demonstration started around 5 p.m. Saturday evening in response
to a New York grand jury's decision on Wednesday to not indict a white
police officer in the chokehold death of Eric Garner, an unarmed black man.
The protest is one of dozens that have taken place across the Bay Area and
the country in the past two weeks, including protests Saturday afternoon in
Oakland and San Francisco, against police brutality.

BERKELEY, Calif. — More than 1,000 protesters marched for hours on city
streets, shutting down Interstate 80 and stopping a train in the third night
of demonstrations Monday over police killings in Missouri and New York.
They confronted a line of police officers in riot gear outside police
headquarters before heading to a BART train station, prompting authorities
to close it. Protesters then headed west on University Avenue, a four-lane
divided street to shut down Interstate 80 in both directions.
A line of police officers in riot gear blocked the ramp to the freeway.
Some protesters managed to get around officers and onto the freeway but were
forced back. Then protesters retook the highway, halting traffic in both
directions.
Dozens of protesters also marched to the railroad tracks, blocking an Amtrak
train. A protester held up a sign "Black lives matter" in front of the
stopped train.
Leman Woods, 41, came to the protests after getting off work at UC Berkeley.
"I'm here because I am tired of police brutality," Woods, an Oakland
resident, said.
He said it has been painful to watch news coverage of the police shooting of
unarmed teenager Michael Brown and the chokehold death of Eric Garner.
"It's sad, it's hard," Woods said. "It shouldn't be happening to nobody of
any race or color. And police just get away with it."
The protests were peaceful in contrast to Sunday night when some protesters
vandalized and looted businesses, lit garbage cans on fire and blocked a
nearby freeway despite calls from many in the crowd for a "peaceful protest."
