A group of women protesting the killings of black women and children bared the breasts this morning and peacefully shut down Market Street at Beale just after 9 a.m. this morning. A tipster sent in the above photo, which you can see uncensored below, but it is NSFW. The purpose of the protest appears to be to remind the public of forgotten female victims of police shootings.

Protesters were holding signs that had the hashtag #SayHerName, with several calling attention to the shooting of Yuvette Henderson by Emeryville Police in February, allegedly after she was caught shoplifting at Home Depot. Also on signs was the name Aiyana Stanley-Jones, a seven-year-old girl shot by a Detroit SWAT team officer during a 2010 raid on her grandmother's house in search of a possible gunman in a shooting that had happened two days earlier.

It's unclear how long the protest lasted today, or by whom it was organized, but it appears to have snarled downtown traffic for at least a half hour or so.
