An anti-police protest drawing more than 100 people shut down a Home Depot store in Emeryville Saturday.

A group of activists protesting the police shooting of 38-year-old Yuvette Henderson chained themselves together, blocking the entrance to the home improvement store.

Police say Henderson was shot because she threatened officers with a gun and refused to put the weapon down. Officers confronted Henderson after she stole knives from Home Depot and tried to carjack vehicles to get away, police reported.

But protesters are skeptical of the police explanation and want Home Depot to release security footage of the incident. They called the shooting an example of the “extrajudicial police kills of black people across the country,” according to a statement put out by the protesters.

zOMFG! Where are all those yuppies going to get their DIY stuff to do the cool thing they saw on HGTV?
