The highway patrol officers responded with tear gas. Some of the protesters have reportedly made their way to a freeway in Oakland and blocked traffic. Police say six people were arrested Sunday night, while three officers and a technician were hurt. The most serious injury was a dislocated shoulder, AP reports, quoting Berkeley police.

Cities throughout the US remain in the grip of mass protests over police brutality and grand jury decisions not to bring charges against white officers whose use of excessive force has led to the death of black Americans.
