  this is a quite detailed photo-article about the desasterous climbing action on sunday. the setup of the action on the motorway between geneva and lausanne on sunday around 11  
     
  the aim of the action was to block the delegates coming from the geneva airport. people were blocking yhe road with banners, but the really effective block should have been the rope across it, on which 2 activists were hanging and wanted to join under the bridge

note that you can see in pic. 6, that the police must have seen martin hanging under the middle of the bridge. he states, that he wave at them and they saw them.
note also the security loop of the rope before it is going down. this saved the life of the second climber, because people on the bridge wereable to grab the rope.
in pic.7 you see, how the cars were allowed to start, although the situation was not clear jet. also, at that point, the rope was still intact

"safety come first" ...RISIBLE.... si la sécurité était efficace, il ne serait pas tombé après le sectionnement de la corde...

de cette action, les gens vont uniquement se souvenir que vous êtes irresponsables et immatures

The effectivity of these actions are based on its riskyness, counting on the responsability and maturity of the police. You know, MATURE PERSON, despite the multiple evidence, sometimes it's easy to forget that there are killers in uniform. This time it has been, obviously, a tragic oblivion. I guess it would be more mature to treat them DIRECTLY like what they are, would it?
