If nothing else, we can at least thank the New York Police Department
for continually proving themselves to be the servants not of the public
– as their job description would have you believe – but of the banking elite.
The NYPD confirmed that 24 people in total were arrested at Citibank earlier today. All of those arrested have been charged with criminal trespass, while two activists were also charged with resisting arrest. Many of those arrested went to the bank to close their accounts in a coordinated effort.
The NY Daily News is reporting that the bank manager told the demonstrators to leave and they ignored his request, leading to the arrests.
Later in the night, around 8 p.m. the NYPD arrested 42 more demonstrators who refused police orders to disperse.
Earlier, around 6:15 p.m., three arrests were made when activists
attempted to take down police barriers. Around 4:40 p.m., five others
wearing masks were arrested.
