At least 25 people reportedly were arrested Friday after San Francisco police in riot gear clashed with hunger strike supporters who are protesting in at city hall.

KGO-TV reported that protesters want Mayor Ed Lee to fire Police Chief Greg Suhr over alleged police brutality and unjust officer-involved deaths.

The group of rowdy demonstrators chanted outside Lee’s office before being forced downstairs and they knocked down a metal detector and used it to keep one of the doors open wide.
