OWS: Citibank Customer Arrested for Closing her Acct,

  

Yet another super awkward, borderline crazy police-citizen interaction was caught on tape during the Occupy Wall Street protests yesterday. In this video, police are apparently arresting an actual Citibank customer, who is seen wearing a business suit and hootin’ and hollerin’ about how she just wanted to get some banking done and would rather not be arrested, thank you very much.

The video, as Gawker points out, does raise some unanswered questions (Is the woman really a Citi customer? What was she doing prior to being arrested?), so it’s a little unfair to jump to conclusions immediately here.

But this arrest, protest supporters allege, was part of a larger pattern that day — one that involved cops arresting Citibank customers who “occupied” a bank branch in order to close out their bank accounts.

It’s tough to tell for sure whether the incident involving the purportedly legit, non-protesting customer occurred during the other arrests, but it would seem that way. See for yourself.
