Police Arrest Anti-Israel Protesters on San Francisco Bridge
- November 17, 2023
Dozens of the hundreds of police assembled moved car to car seeking and arresting anti-Israel protesters on Thursday as authorities slowly reopened the vital Bay Bridge heading into San Francisco as the city hosts the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum. The demonstrators called for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. As many as 250 officers total detained protesters in zip ties, after the California Highway Patrol issued a dispersal order to the assembled group. Authorities deployed tow trucks on the bridge to potentially remove cars that protesters used to quickly halt traffic when the demonstration began during morning rush hour.
