S.F. police arrest protesters at Trans March, tense overture to Pride weekend
The first official event of Pride ended in arrests this evening: Several protesters at the Trans march were stopped by police and subsequently detained.
Around 7:40 p.m., as marchers approached the end of Market Street, police cars were waiting and officers ran through the crowd to arrest several protestors. Eyewitnesses say that police cited vandalism as the reason for the arrests.
Throughout the parade, a group of marchers with masks covering their faces and keffiyehs on their heads had spray painted statues and shot paint guns at security cameras along the route.
One marcher, Emilio, said that roughly 25 to 30 police cars were waiting as the procession neared its end. The police appeared to have several specific targets in mind.
