Undercover Police Officer Points Gun At California Protesters A plainclothes police officer photographed aiming his gun at protesters in Oakland, California, on Wednesday was protecting himself and his partner from a mob that had encircled them, according to a California Highway Patrol official. The two officers were walking among the crowd of about 50 to gather information when some of the protesters recognized them as cops, Avery Browne, chief of the highway patrol Golden Gate division, told reporters Thursday evening. The officers attempted to leave, but a man struck one officer in the back of the head, starting a struggle, Browne said. The crowd encircled the officers and began to close in, according to Browne. The officer who had not been hit brandished his badge and baton, and ordered the demonstrators to back up. He drew his sidearm because the protesters continued approaching them. At some point, a woman bolted from the crowd and kicked his partner in the head as he tussled with the man whod punched him. continue below... #Usa #Police #California
