3 arrested at Oakland protest after Charlotte, N.C. police shooting

OAKLAND, Calif. (BCN and KTVU) - Three people were arrested at a protest in Oakland Saturday on suspicion of vandalism and obstruction of a peace officer.

The protest was held in the wake of Tuesday's police shooting of Keith Scott, a black man sitting in his car and whose family has said was unarmed and acting non-aggressive, according to reports from CNN.

One person was cited for carrying a dangerous weapon at the Oakland protest.

No injuries had been reported at 11:30 p.m.

The protest began with a group of 15 demonstrators gathering at Latham Square Plaza, in the 1500 block of Broadway, police said.

The group grew to about 150 protesters over the course of the evening as police officers facilitated a march to 10th Street and Broadway.

Vehicle and pedestrian traffic in the area had returned to normal by 10:45 p.m., police said.
