At least 2,000 cars joined a protest caravan through Oakland on Sunday, as drivers demonstrated their anger over the George Floyd killing.
Protesters banged pots and pans, honked their horns, and held up home-made signs from inside their vehicles.
The protest, which was intended to respect coronavirus social distancing guidelines, was also joined by pedestrians and cyclists.
Protests and demonstrations have taken place across the US in reaction to Floyd’s death, with riots and looting also occurring in some areas, including Minneapolis.
Four officers involved in the incident have since been fired. The officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter on Friday.

Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
