October 25, in Oakland, California, police asked the live media coverage to shut down, right before they attacked protestors with tear gas and flash bang grenades.  Later, after it got dark, police simply turned off the street lights so the media could not see the continuing attacks on the protestors.  So far 140 people have been arrested.

In Atlanta, Georgia, about 50 people were arrested.  Police action there was restrained, but that’s because several politicians (State Senator Vincent Fort, and former Atlanta city councilman Derrick Boazman) had joined the protestors, and apparently protestors voluntarily gave themselves up for arrest. Senator Fort was among those arrested.
