NYPD Arrests Woman For Closing Her Citibank Account
Be patient through the first 90 seconds because a remarkable little drama unfolds with protesters inside the Citibank branch communicating with protesters outside, all very reserved, collecting names and birthdates of the people about to be arrested inside. And then, brutish cops seize a woman in a business suit who is saying, “I’m a customer, I’m a customer,” and showing her Citibank checkbook. Apparently she is here to close her account, and for that she is manhandled by a bunch of thug cops who should be careful where they go from now on. Anyway, closing your account is now a go-to-jail offense. The video was shot on a Blackberry by Meaghan Linick of Brooklyn, and her story is worth reading, too.

Ms. Linick sure seemed like a threat. What with looking in the windows and carrying her checkbook. A perfectly good reason to beat her down and kidnap her.The situation will continue to escalate as the big banks, big business and the super rich echelon elites like the Koch brothers and Ailes realize that the protests aren't going away. There will be more and more set-up situations so the
What happened to Marshell Garrett, one of the arrested protesters.

>>How did you know he was an undercover cop?
He arrested one of the protestors outside, and slammed her into the wall, and pushed her back into the bank. We all saw him at the precinct with us. He was laughing with the fellow white shirt cops, telling them about what we'd been saying, basically. It was a bit startling how inside their information was - how they were being paid to go to these protests and put us in situations where we'd be arrested and not be able to leave.

>>From that point, they arrested us all, and they took us outside and put us in vans, and the situation was quite weird. The white coats were in the bank, patting the officers on the back, saying "Good job, good job." And all I could think was, this is in a lot of ways illegal. I don't know how they could say you're doing a good job when they are illegally arresting protestors!

>>We found out later in the evening that these white coats - and this is something you should emphasize - these white coats are hired by these banks, and that's why they're more violent than regular cops. They have jurisdiction to do a lot of things because they are hired by these banks to protect these banks.

>>Are you going to go back and get in on the Occupy Wall Street action, now that you're out?
Yes, I am. Now, it means more than ever. Seeing the inner workings, and seeing how silly some of these arrests were, and just being able to be in a state to take action, it's important for me to keep doing this. This is affecting so many people.
My belief is that things are going to get worse for the protesters and as that happens Wall Street and the super rich will continue to get more scared and hire yet more violent thugs and maybe some of the Tea Party states will end up calling out the National Guard, although I think that plan would backfire, but not before an incident like Kent State happens. Or if any children are hurt or killed by the thugs and goons hired to break up the protests.
The more frightened that the 1% become that their control of the 99% is slipping away, the more extreme measures they will take to make sure that the status quo they have come to believe is their right is maintained.
The 1% have shown since the Industrial Revolution began that they believe that they are the elite, the chosen of the world and will protect their status in the world no matter what it takes.
But that is for another post.
