The "people arrested in a vandalism spree in downtown San Francisco were likely involved in similar protests" in the Mission last month, according to police.

 

Police arrested 20 people, most from outside of town, on Saturday after they tossed projectiles at police officers and wore black clothing, the San Francisco Chronicle.
