San Francisco Police Arrest 175 Following Prop 8 Ruling

Andy Towle May 26, 2009

The Mercury News reports:

"Hundreds of people filled
the intersection of Grove Street and Van Ness Avenue late this morning
after word spread of the ruling. The court also ruled that roughly
18,000 existing same-sex marriages in California remain valid.  Around
12:45 p.m., officers were seen placing plastic handcuffs on protesters
and leading them to police vans waiting nearby. With each new arrest,
the crowd cheered.  Police Sgt. Lyn Tomioka said the protesters
were arrested for being outside a crosswalk and failing to obey an
officer. Tomioka said she was not aware of any injuries related to the
protest. As of mid-afternoon the intersection had been cleared and traffic was moving through normally."
