Demonstrators in Oakland, California marching in solidarity with Ferguson, Missouri on Wednesday held up mirrors in the faces of police officers as a creative protest tactic.

“I was holding up the mirror because I wanted the police to just look at themselves,” one protester, Nichola Torbett, told KPIX 5. “Especially if they were about to take some kind of action just so they had to acknowledge what they were doing.”

Demarco Robinson, who also took part in the demonstration, said, “We want that person to look at themselves so that they can realize they’re not a badge. They don’t have to follow the system that they don’t agree with.”

In addition to showing solidarity with Ferguson, where 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot to death by Officer Darren Wilson earlier this month, the protests in Oakland were also a demonstration against police brutality in California, which recently saw the shooting deaths of Ezell Ford, Oscar Grant, and Alan Blueford, among other high-profile cases. About 500 people from four separate marches converged at downtown Oakland’s Ogawa Plaza around 5:40pm, the Oakland Tribune reported.
