Robert Chen

The Honorable Robert Chen was the governor of the State of California during the Bell Riots of 2024.

When the riots broke out he issued a statement saying that the violence would be quelled and the district secured.

He tried negotiating with the hostage takers, sending in Preston as a negotiator. But this proved unsuccessful, and tired of the continuing violence in the Sanctuary District A and based on rumors that the hostages were already dead, Chen ordered the SFPD and the National Guard to move in with force and end the riots.
