We received numerous calls today asking why we didn’t just arrest protesters as soon as we arrived. The photos below along with video on our other social media channels show what officers had to work through before making arrests.

@CHP_GoldenGate Why wasnt the center barrier moved over 2 lanes?
@CHP_GoldenGate Water cannons would speed things up.
@CHP_GoldenGate All law enforcement officials had intelligence about the protest yesterday a week ago. It appears you were not prepared? 5 hours to clear the Golden Gate bridge of protestors?
@CHP_GoldenGate Explain to me why it takes five hours to arrest them
@CHP_GoldenGate Nothing but excuses. You could have put them all in the back of a flatbread and moved them off the bridge together then worked on what they had holding them together
@CHP_GoldenGate 5 hours? Keep calling them and demand answers.
@CHP_GoldenGate A simpler solution would have been to lift the weights and simply toss them off the bridge with whatever was attached and could not detach itself within 5 minutes. The beauty of the simplicity of that would be quick clearance of road AND deterrence of further roadblocks.
@CHP_GoldenGate Cut off a couple arms and you'll never have to deal with the problem again.
