The protesters were pushed out of the building but they are still refusing to leave. They gathered underneath the balcony of Mayor Ed Lee's office. There's been a lot of pushing and shoving and yelling and a few arrests.

Demonstrators want the Police Chief Greg Suhr fired. They accuse the department of police brutality and unnecessary killings.

The group chanted outside Mayor Ed Lee's office before being forced downstairs. They knocked down a metal detector and used it to prop open one of the doors.

They were there in solidarity with five hunger strikers who have been hospitalized. Their friends tell ABC7 News they're continuing the hunger strike from the hospital beds. They are refusing to be force-fed.

Police are staged outside city hall to assist if things get out of hand.

There's no word of any injuries but the protesters did call for an ambulance.

They tell ABC7 News they plan to stay here all weekend but if they can't, they'll take the demonstration back outside the Mission Police Station.
