   OAKLAND (CBS SF) — BART trains are running through the Transbay   
   Tube again Friday afternoon after a group of activists   
   protesting the Ferguson grand jury decision were arrested for   
   halting BART service at the West Oakland station.   
      
   BART police arrested 14 protesters who chained themselves to   
   trains on both sides of the West Oakland station shortly after   
   10:30 a.m., preventing any trains from traveling through the   
   station for more than hour.   
      
   Shortly before 1 p.m., BART reopened the West Oakland station.   
      
   During the disruption, AC Transit honored BART tickets for   
   passengers at the Transbay terminal, which offers O and NL buses   
   to shuttle passengers between San Francisco and West Oakland. A   
   BART bus bridge had also been set up from Oakland to San   
   Francisco.   
      
   KCBS reports the activists, who were wearing “Black Lives   
   Matter” T-shirts, intended to keep the West Oakland station shut   
   down for at least four hours to symbolize the 4.5 hours Michael   
   Brown’s body had reportedly been left in the street after he was   
   shot by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson.   
      
   Numerous posts on Twitter linked the protest to #BlackoutBlack   
   Friday, a nationwide campaign meant to bring attention to the   
   August fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown and a grand   
   jury’s decision earlier this week not to indict the police   
   officer who killed him.

   Man, the Internet is just bending itself into pretzels to   
   justify the "noble" actions of the Ferguson rioters, isn't it?

   and to justify that murder of an unarmed black teen.   
      
   I am willing to say that i don't support violence, looting,   
   rioting etc are you willing to at least say that killing a teen   
   is wrong and that justice was not served? I'm not trying to   
   justify violence, i'm simply pointing out hypocrisy

   An Oakland Black thug shot blindly through a door and killed an   
   8 year old Black girl... Nary a voice of moral outrage   
   raised...from the Black community....

   Ignorant blacks think they are making a point by causing   
   problems for regular hard working people who take BART. Just the   
   opposite. If anything they reinforce the stereotype of blacks   
   out of control.   
   Fact is black lives matter little when your late for work or you   
   missed that job interview or airline flight that you saved up   
   for.

   Causing problems for innocent people who have nothing to do with   
   their problem real or imagined is wrong, stupid and   
   irresponsible.

   Michael Brown was a human being not a thug or an animal. Some of   
   you have had squeaky clean past and probably can't relate. Some   
   people know what it's like to be young, reckless, defiant, and   
   prone to making lots of mistakes.   
   Whether Michael Brown stole cigarettes, a car, or a plane   
   doesn't matter. He shouldn't be DEAD today.   
   White male supremacy culture has pushed black people to be in   
   the state they're in today. Many white people wanna tell black   
   people and black leaders to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and yet these   
   same people refuse to take responsibility for slavery (where's   
   reperations?)   
   what happened to all those treaties that our gov't signed with   
   native americans?   
   Where are the people taking responsibility for unjust drug laws   
   that send a disproportionate amount of black men to jail (which   
   destroys families).   
   Where are the people taking responsibility for the ecological   
   genocide that's happening right now That's DESTROYING THE F*#@   
   planet.   
   AND YOU'RE MAD ABOUT A TRAIN RUNNING LATE????????   
   lack of responsibility isn't a black problem, it's an american   
   problem. I'm not here to say black people are saints and whites   
   are devils. We're all doing the best we can.   
   These protesters are trying to get people to WAKE UP. i'm glad   
   people are getting fired up on both sides cuz that means you're   
   alive.
