   Police in Berkeley used tear gas late Saturday night to break up   
   an evening-long protest over recent incidents in which unarmed   
   disobedient, law-breaking and arrest resisting African American   
   men were killed by police.   
      
   The episode was the culmination of a noisy, rowdy night of   
   action through Berkeley. After more than five hours of marching   
   and confrontations, about 400 protesters squared off against   
   hundreds of police from Berkeley and other jurisdictions at the   
   intersection of Telegraph Avenue and Durant Street just south of   
   the UC Berkeley campus.   
      
   After warning the crowd of protesters, officers fired tear gas,   
   sending people fleeing in panic and pain.   
      
   Police arrested five adults and a juvenile on unspecified   
   allegations, said Officer Jennifer Coats, a Berkeley police   
   spokeswoman. Coats said protesters vandalized police vehicles   
   and threw various objects at officers, including bricks, pipes,   
   rocks and bottles. Some threw back smoke grenades that had been   
   lobbed by officers, she said. One officer suffered a dislocated   
   shoulder after being hit by a sandbag, she said.
