This cop is the kind of guy who feeds ammunition to people who hate cops in general. The guy is a disgrace.
“Businesses can refuse service to anyone that does not comply with masking policies.”
True. I’ve been told by Sprouts market and KFC to put on a mask or leave. No problem. I left, since there are other options.
Arguing with a customer is just dumb. People are confused by mask rules, since mask rules are stupid. Just give her a mask or ask her to wait outside while a clerk helps her. She can easily get a new bank. B of A has a bad reputation for fining customers for the strangest reasons.
Easier to use the drive thru.
I’ll bet this POS is bragging to all this friends down at the station how he single handedly toys this resisting criminal down.
I’m finding myself won over to the defund the police camp.
This is another example of why the police have little value. They are a threat to the very people who hire them.
Not good optics.
First I hate BoA.
Second you can be dead right but dead wrong. There was a lot of that going on all the way around and still is.
Maskless Lives Matter. Looks like police brutality to me. She should have worn a “Press” label on her shirt. Did the cop really have to take her to the ground. If she were a black senior this would be all over ABCNNBCBS fake news sites.
BofA is a POS bank that is anti 2nd Amendment.
The optics for the cops and the bank are really bad.
Time to sue the cop and the Bank. The Bank of America really is a leftist craphole.
I would take all my money out and let me family, friends, neighbors and strangers, why!
I can’t see a sustained charge of “criminal trespass” since the woman was in the bank because she had an account there and was attempting to conduct contractual business with them.
This is in her favor re a Floyd George-sized settlement with the police. Injuries, another lawsuit.
For the bank, nothing but another in a continuing stream of bad news stories on how incompetent and stupid they are re their customers.
If I were another bank in the area, I’d have people walking in front of my bank with large signs that says “Our bank ####, doesn’t want our customers arrested and injured by the police.”
The cops won’t like it (at least some of the brass) but the patrolman will understand that you don’t hurt “granny”.
A more friendly bank would have intervened, Manager would have walked up to the officer and say it was okay. “Mrs.X has been a customer here for years, so we will be just fine the way she is.” Instead they just sat there mouths open, and watched one of their customers humiliated and sort of violated too.
The officer was simply doing what they have been told to do.That is their job.
Good girl...
The business has the right to set its rules. It could mandate that anyone wanting to enter the building had to wear a green hat and red shoes if it wanted. The customers would have the right to terminate their accounts there too, but if they wanted to do so by entering the business they’d still have to wear the colorful shoes and hat.
Lawsuits are going to be something else from this crap.
“Officers added she sustained minor injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.”
Bank of America??
Report: Bank of America Gave Feds Customer Data After Capitol Riot — for No Good Reason
She’s about to take a lot more money out of the bank.
When Bank of America became informants for the Democrats after Jan 6, I began closing my accounts there and have not just about completed the process.
Her lawyers will own a chunk of Houston and that bank before this is over.
I don’t really see anything wrong with this. A business is private property, if she didn’t want to follow their rules she should do business elsewhere (and you can transfer money out of a bank online). The cop gave her a chance to leave peacefully but she didn’t listen, so he used reasonable force to arrest her. If there was a crazy 65-year old banging on the front door of my house and refusing to leave, I expect the same thing would happen.
