Disagree. No decision is good when blackmailed into it.
Let's say they arrested them and it escalated into a violent protests and riots etc. Would it have been a good decision?
Yes an ambulance being delayed by this sucks, but I'm pretty sure like most big cities Atlanta is like this normally in rush hour. It made it worse, but the goal of police is to keep things in order.
I don't support illegal protests and they should be arrested, but if arrests cause there to be larger protests and maybe riots, letting it run it's course may not be such a bad thing.

So empowering lawbreakers for the sake of peacefulness is a good thing? At what point does the Stop sign go up when you allow this?

another thing the OP photo is very misleading. It looks like this protest shut down traffic on the interstate. But if you do some research these protests only slightly effected traffic.
Atlanta rush hour is always bumper to bumper, you see many photos of traffic flowing normally.
These people are idiots but the gaol of the police here is to make sure no-one gets harmed and to make sure traffic continues to flow as it normally should.
