Motorcyclist detained for driving at protestors on San Francisco street

Source: SF Gate

San Francisco police detained a motorcyclist who drove his bike at a group of protestors demonstrating against the federal health care bill in an apparent attempt to hit them, according to witnesses as well as photographs and videos from the scene.

A few dozen people were staging a “die-in” early Wednesday afternoon on Seventh Street near Mission Street when the man on a red motorcycle appeared, said one of the protesters, 43-year-old Tracey Brieger of Emeryville.

She said the activists, some of whom held up posters that looked like tombstones to decry the Republican health care bill designed to replace the Affordable Care Act, had planned to block the intersection for about 10 minutes.

They had been lying in the street for about seven minutes when a motorcyclist turned the wrong way on the one-way street and drove toward the protesters, witnesses said.
