According to KTVU news on Thursday, an estimated amount of 150 protesters that were arrested for protesting and rioting on i-880 and i-980 after the 4:30 protest in downtown Oakland because of the budget cuts. Some agreed to go to s.f and others just wanted to go onto the interstate freeway and do their protest. Lucky no one was killed said Thomason .but one did jump off the freeway just to avoid arrest. Another person leaped off the freeway onto a tree but then missed one of the police officers said he wasn’t moving some reporters said that the arrests began on the freeway then went down to the freeway entrances. The commuters were furious, because they were not able to get where they were going to. Some others continued with their protest until one protestor was tackled onto the ground.

Many buses came to escort some of the protesters to Santa Rita jail and the rest to north county. Many protesters could have been pinned down or killed because of the many cars were going 80-90 mph. On the freeway! Many schools are going to be effected by these schools like OUSD CUSD LAUSD and SFUSD. Many parents are worried if their kids will still get and education or still go on fieldtrips. The government can at least stop spending money on jails and start spending money on schools that are in danger. The school districts will be affected because the schools will have to watch how much money they use.
