Donald J. Trump has been elected as the 45th president of the United States. Hillary Clinton conceded the race early Wednesday morning, but it didn’t take long for anti-Donald Trump protestors to demonstrate their refusal to accept the election results.

Video footage out of Oakland, California, in the year 2016 is something you would expect in a dystopian Hollywood blockbuster, or even a third-world country.

Local journalists and others on the ground gave a firsthand perspective of what transpired.
