57 Arrested in San Francisco Protest

Posted: November 4, 2004 at 1:04 p.m.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Police arrested 57 people Wednesday as nearly 2,000 protesters decried the re-election of George W. Bush and the continuing war in Iraq.

San Francisco police said the large demonstration that started around 5 p.m. was peaceful, but a smaller group of about 150 later splintered and marched through Civic Center and the Tenderloin.

Fifty six were cited and released and one protester was arrested for assaulting an officer.

Officer Maria Oropeza said the protester was seen throwing a glass bottle at officers. Shards of glass from the shattered bottle flew at officers but did not cause any injuries, she said.

Raucous demonstrators chanted "We're going to beat back the Bush attack, get the troops out of Iraq."

Anti-Bush signs were in abundance, proclaiming "Nov. 2, 2004 -- a sad day" and "Overthrow King Bush." One man held a sign that said "Stop mad cowboy disease."

"I want Bush to know that just because he won the election he doesn't have a mandate and needs to listen to other perspectives," Liz Farinella, 35 of Oakland, told the San Francisco Chronicle.

A large truck carrying drummers in orange T-shirts led the procession down the Market Street.

About a dozen Bush supporters, wielding signs that read "The silent majority has spoken" also showed up and marched behind the crowd.

"I'm in this to promote the fact that we won," said Victor Tracey, 20, a San Francisco State University student.
