Violent agitators over the weekend torched courthouses in California and Colorado amid Black Lives Matter protests across the country.

“We ask organizers of tonight’s protest to help maintain peace,” the Oakland Police Department wrote on Twitter Saturday. “Currently, some demonstrators in the area of 17th & Lakeside are breaking windows and chanting racial slurs at residents.”
