“As a professional civil engineer, by renewing my registration every year, I am committed to acting in accordance with our code of ethics, which requires me to safeguard human life, well-being and the environment,” said Morgan Trowland, 39. “Our government has enacted suicide laws to accelerate oil production: kill human lives and destroy our environment. I cannot challenge this madness in my office job, design bridges, so I am acting directly, occupying bridge QE2 until government stops all new oil. “
Just Stop Oil did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
Trowland and fellow protester Marcus Decker were reportedly arrested after being knocked off the bridge onto a cherry picker and charged with conspiring to commit public nuisance.
