More than a dozen masked members of the hacker group Anonymous disrupted service on the Bay Area Rapid Transit system on Monday to protest the killing of a 45-year-old man by police officers last month.
The group also protested BARTÂ officials’ decision to kill wireless and cellular activity at a number of BART stations over the weekend to break up a similar protest.
Below is a collection of images from Monday’s protest, which lasted several hours and resulted in the temporary closure of several BART stations as police in riot gear tried to quell the protests. Although the protest became heated at moments, officials said no one was arrested.
