BART protesters arrested - Powell station closed
A crowd of chanting protesters converged on the Powell Street BART Station Thursday night and confronted police in riot gear who formed a wall to block them from approaching the pay gates and then drove them outside as they closed the station.

At least 50 protesters chanted "no justice, no peace" confronted officers and several of them fought with police as they were arrested in yet another case of commuting delays and havoc on the besieged system.

The demonstrators, who dubbed themselves "No Justice No BART," had promised to lie down in front of the turnstiles at the downtown San Francisco station, but they didn't get that far.

They took their press credentials and arrested reporters and also nearly a whole journalism class.
