This story is from 2012. I copied it at that time and just noticed I hadn't posted it.

"Police said that the only incident reported was that before the march left Frank Ogawa Plaza, several masked protesters hurled bottles of what was believed to be urine at media parked on 14th Street....
For previous marches, which have been held weekly since Jan. 7, organizers have said on social media sites that for the purposes of the march, police and media property can be targeted for destruction and encouraged participants to set fires in the streets.
But no such incidents were reported Saturday, and police said no protesters were arrested."...

"It went well," said Chris Moreland, who used a bull horn to help lead the march. "As long as we don't destroy anything, the police don't care."
"It's a win-win situation for everybody," Moreland, 23, told The Associated Press. "We get our message across and they (police) get paid.""
