Trent Willis, a business agent for the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, said dockworkers were leaving the docks after the incident. "I'm very pissed off. They shot my guys. We're not going to work today," Willis said. "The cops had no reason to open up on them."
Police used non-lethal bullets, sandbags and concussion grenades to try to break up about 500 protesters, who split into groups in front of different terminals. The anti-war protests were part of a series of demonstrations around the San Francisco Bay Area on Monday.
