Berkeley protesters met with heavy police presence, 10 arrested amid violent clashes

"Is this a weekend event?, Now in Berkeley, where next?"

Turmoil unfolded in the afternoon when demonstrators came together at Civic Center Park to protest the planned “No to Marxism” rally, which was reportedly denied a permit and canceled before the weekend.

The demonstrators, who were banned from bringing items that could be used as weapons to the park, included Black Lives Matter activists and large numbers of black-clad protesters known as anti-Fascists or “Antifa.”
