Similar Stories to Protesters Participating In #blackoutblackfriday Shut Down Oakland Train Station on Bing News

As people nationwide actively boycott big businesses on Black Friday, a group of protesters in California forced a temporary shutdown of a BART train station. Protesters rallied Friday and physically banded together to block train service from the West Oakland train station. In doing so, demonstrators -- many who wore shirts that read #BlackLivesMatter -- drew further attention to their fight for justice days after a Ferguson, Missouri, grand jury decided not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the killing of Michael Brown. "There is a major delay system wide due to civil unrest at West Oakland Station," a statement on the BART website reads.
