Occupy SF Protesters March Through Downtown
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- Occupy San Francisco protesters marched through San Francisco on Friday afternoon in opposition to budget cuts.
A Facebook page indicated the group intended to march from the Federal Building at 7th and Mission streets to a Wells Fargo bank at Post and Market streets.
Other planned targets of Friday's demonstration include a Verizon store at Pine and Battery Streets and the Hyatt Regency Hotel at 5 Embarcadero Center, according to the Facebook page.
The protesters were blocking Market Street Friday afternoon and affecting San Francisco Municipal Railway service, but as of 4 p.m., they had cleared the Market Street area and were marching up Montgomery Street, said Muni spokesman Paul Rose.
