Hundreds of people demonstrated against Urban Shield training and what they consider the militarisation of police forces in Pleasanton, 60 km (37 miles) West of San Francisco, Friday.
Demonstrators marched around the perimeter of the fairground and stopped by at the various entrances of the venue, where sheriff county officers were securing the area. Police officers from all over the country met at the Bay Area exercise to undergo the training.
One protester explained that "the same training and the same tactics that folks are using to murder and commit genocide amongst indigenous folks across the globe" were the same as "the tactics and the technics used in the United States."
Some protesters chained themselves, blocking the entrances to Alameda County Fair, where what's known as an Urban Shield police training was taking place. Alameda County Sheriff confirmed that at least nine people have been arrested.
