Why police action in Berkeley causes delay from Embarcadero to Colma?

I'm really trying to figure out why it was mentioned during traffic reports that BART had major delays today and some police action in Berkeley delayed passengers from Embarcadero to Colma? How does that affect that train when it's on the other side of the bay and it's going the opposite direction of Berkeley? BART employees help me out.

Great sense of humor. At least we all know it wasn't your train causing the delay. But it does seem weird that delays were from Embarcadero to Colma when the Police action was at Berkeley.

OK, the only thing I can

OK, the only thing I can come up with is there was more than one thing going on at the time and you were informed of only one event. You rarely hear about problems unless Central Control figures it's going to disrupt service. For every thing you as a passenger hear about there is usually 10 or more things going on that you don't hear about just like an airport...
