33 Protesters Arrested in Clash With San Francisco Deputies

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — May 7, 2016, 5:56 PM ET

Authorities say 33 people were arrested at San Francisco's City Hall during a protest calling for the firing of the city's police chief.

Dozens of protesters converged on the building Friday night and clashed with deputies in riot gear.

San Francisco Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Eileen Hirst says protesters were arrested after defying an order to disperse.

Hirst tells the San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1WQQdKj) the protesters, including one minor, were detained on suspicion of trespassing and failure to disperse, and were in the process of being cited and released Saturday.
