Hundreds of anti-oil, pro-Palestinian protesters clashed with riot police outside the APEC summit in San Francisco, ahead of President Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s much-anticipated meeting on Wednesday.
A motorcade of about 10 vehicles became stuck in front of a human barricade as police officers in riot gear tried to control the crowd of protesters on Fifth Street, near Mission.
The protesters, wearing yellow vests, tried to prevent people from attending the summit and shouted at summit participants who entered the security zone.
“We will not allow genocide to be normalized,” one organizer told the newspaper the San Francisco standard.
The protesters chanted, “Biden, Biden tells lies, you don’t care if the planes die,” and “shut down APEC.”

The conference started Saturday and runs until November 17.
