  • o my god!

  • Keep on thinking moslims are terrorists while true terrorists are lobotomized Smith agents from the matrix.

  • must be on crack bitch!! she wants to close $0 account claiming that she had 50000$ in account what a douche bag protestor

  • new world order is here people

  • THAT'S AWFUL!!,  how you gonna arrest someone just because they want to close their bank account? don't these oinks have anything better to do?

  • @knowledgeispowerfful "how you gonna arrest someone just because they want to close their bank account?"

    your facts are incorrect. they went there and held a demonstration inside of the bank. when asked to leave, they refused. in turn, they were arrested for trespassing.

    what is AWFUL, is the rapid spread of misinformation.

  • @txcrawl, first of all, if 40 or more people go to any bank in America and close their accounts, what do you think will really happen?.

    you think banks are just going to close that many accounts without calling the cops?. closing their accounts (in your mind) was the protest and they have "rights" to do so.

  • @92680BOYD "first of all, if 40 or more people go to any bank in America and close their accounts, what do you think will really happen?"

    i think the bank would close their accounts for them.

    "you think banks are just going to close that many accounts without calling the cops?"

    yes i do. why would they not? why would that cause them to call the police?

    watch the video on my page and you will see that your argument is fed by misinformation.

  • @92680BOYD "It was about 27, 28 of us. When we got to the bank, we marched in, and clapped, and had a meeting. We had an open forum, and we actually tried to involve the bank employees, if they wished. And a few people talked about student loans and what debt was doing to them as individuals, and what could be changed about that." -from the mouth of a protestor arrested in the bank... and he didn't even have an account there to begin with.

  • Americans are getting the taste of how the "big dog" treats other countries

  • This is sickening ,the authorities that are meant to protect the people are actually protecting the criminals that are stealing billions from the people, the veil appears to be falling and it looks more like a police state that a state of freedom

  • @owsoo7 you are truly retarded. We don't want Obama. More and more "liberals" are switching to "republicans" just so they can vote for Ron Paul in 2012, as they should. Our country is limiting our rights to vote freely by making us choose a party. That in itself is unconstitutional. Obama is bought by 12 big financial and oil-based corportations, the same number that McCain had backing him in 2008. We don't want partisan bullshit in this country, we want our HUMAN RIGHTS BACK.

  • I don't call them CITI BANK they are CITI RATS.

  • blow this bank and all the helping instituts away. Thats democrazy hroorible

  • horrid!  protect and serve citybank...

  • How to Peacefully Protest and Stop making THEM money

    1.Open your new account first. Choose your Credit Union or Community Bank carefully. How community minded are they?

    2.Make sure to LEAVE money in bank checking accounts for any un-cleared transactions.

    3.Make loan payments on time.

    The point is to Stop Making Them any more Money. You will be pay large fees if you don’t pay your loans or bounce your check book.

  • Start withdrawing your cash from ATMS. Get cash back on your debit transactions. Banks make interest EVERY SECOND on EVERY CENT. Reduce that amount with every purchase. there is a limit how many savings withdraws/transactions that are FEE FREE. Call your bank, ask them how many free Savings withdraws in a month. If you move your savings to your checking that counts as one as well. BEFORE you close your account get out as much as you CAN. they are making less money and they don’t even know it.

  • Talk to your new Credit Union/Community Bank about transferring any credit cards, personal, auto, house and bizness loans to them. Many will be happy to do just that. Why not give them the interest. How much are you paying every day to service your loan?

    Peacefully and individually Go to the BANK and close your account. The point is to get your account closed quickly so as to STOP Making Them Money.

  • Be prepared to be stalled. They are thinking they are still making money on you. Pre withdraw the bulk of it, they have less of it.

    Don’t go with a band or parade. I Love a parade but not this protest. We can shame them later. Just get your money out as quickly and quietly as possible. The point is to STOP MAKING THEM MONEY. That is the protest. The longer they hold your money the MORE MONEY THEY MAKE.

  • STOP MAKING THEM MONEY.

    December they will cry and we will laugh.

  • These fags should be shot, not arrested.

  • how about destroying that citibank branch? or any citibank branch. or any bank branch?

  • dont they see they are more than the police, keep marching, dont stop

  • These people were not arrested for taking money out of the bank, they actually occupied it. They were in the bank and one by one each of them they gave speeches while holding up signs. I support the occupy movement; however you just don’t walk into someone's place of business holding up banners and signs and giving speeches without asking permission first. It’s not public property. You have to leave when asked, and refusing to do so is trespassing. In New York State it is anyway.

  • @IwishIknew02 in one certain video a lady is rushed (back?) into the bank . how can that be right by law for anyone to use on a free person such force. i do understand about 'occupying' private property, but i do know you can not refuse entrance to a customer (by law? prove me wrong) especially treat like this if they do have an account beCAUSE they want to close it.

    sh*t is f***ed up. fo real!

  • @IwishIknew02

    aw man, don't jump into the position of 'typically right' . There's no right to push a person back into the bank. i read any physical move for more than 2 metres is 'kidnapping' . esp. by a person with no uniform..!

    I am NOT to say 'what would happen if they started beating up a person' (undercover- noone knew! he didnt say either!;) but just that since the citizens (sic) are free to enter premises of any shop-not club- they should left free to just ..leave! (No?)

  • @espeekay1 "i read any physical move for more than 2 metres is 'kidnapping' . esp. by a person with no uniform..!" I'm sure a lawsuit will be pending. However nothing changes the fact they we're criminally trespassing.

  • @IwishIknew02

    ok , i seem to have understood now.. Thanks.

    (takes real caution, definitely! no foul moves allowed..)

  • @espeekay1 You're welcome...No foul moves allowed, absolutely, especially if the protesting group may make a difference.

  • @espeekay1 "but just that since the citizens (sic) are free to enter premises of any shop-not club- they should left free to just ..leave! (No?)" No person(S) is allowed to leave on their once they've been accused of braking the law. A thief may enter your house on his own, but once he's caught he just can't say "Can I came in on my own can I leave, I didn't take anything" That's not how it works. You just can't protest on private property. Its' trespassing.

  • *obamalies . net /  list- o f-lies

  • No, go watch their own videos. They were criminally trespassing and protesting inside private property. Only when informed they were under arrest did they attempt to leave. This is misinformation on your part.

  • THey only opted to exit once they were told they were getting arrested. When asked to leave prior, they did not comply.

  • I would never keep money in Citibank or Chase, simply because these banks don't invest in my community. It's pointless to talk to the Rockefeller banks. Go to the local credit union and the single building banks or at least the single state banks. But I hear that Big Banks are not allowing withdrawals. I happen to think that Chase and Citibank are the Goldman-Sachs of commercial banks. see my Youtubes ftT9BmUx7MY and sYZ0-A1tncs and fQLvvXzsyEU and v=p_wv4NTNrxU and MOST v=fArAcHf-OZY

  • This video it's sad, show how useless the protest is: more than 100 people around sing and yell, but around 10 cops totally ignore them and do what they want... this show how impossible can be a real "change" whitout using strenght... untill they will not be scared of us they will be the real and only leader, and us the slaves, nothing else.Sad, very sad.

  • Why the fxxx arent the police chanting along?

  • I got cents left in my bank, the bank can go fuck themselves!!!!. Fuck the police!!!, can't they solve real crime. fuckin police sell outs!!!

  • bunch of hipsters...

  • You know we have to do this EVERYWHERE all throughout the country. Everyone, seriously, close your accounts. Find other ways to get what you need - barter, pay cash, go with small banks, go with a credit union. To hell with them. They don't care about us, they are greedy and it will only get worse. We have to do this EVERYWHERE RIGHT NOW - CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT or CHANGE IT!

  • tea party vs OWS

    watch?v=y9EqyE3SK0s

  • America is owned by big banks and companies- with cops enabling these " legal" thieves ---the protesters are being stopped from the right to protest as well as being jailed for entering a puplic bank to do business- this is B.S- The fact that our tax dollars bailed the banks out while the banks are stealing from mortgage holders by falsifying forclosures seems to be overlooked-- I am for the protesters !!!!

  • Is this really happening in America????

  • if this is what nypd does, arrest insists, i don't want to join it no more. LET THEM GO, LET THEM GO, LET THEM GO, AND FUCK YOU HOES!

  • el pueblo unido jamas sera vencido! the people united will never be defeated!

  • To end all protest, all the cops have to do is shoot a few protesters to death, plant a gun, or cell phone....... then bring out the armored vehicles with pepper spray and dogs....... THEN WHAT- it's over, back to the American Dream...... I DARE ANYONE TO DISPUTE THIS FACT.

  • It's like the movie matrix. We Are The 99%

  • Comment removed

  • I see a hell of alot more protesters than cops.....just saying

  • @mgrande11 Your point? More protesters than cops is how all protests with widespread support works.

    If you are hinting the protesters should turn violent, why don't you just stop and think about that for a moment. What would violence achieve?

  • @Eschewered 1775-1783 What did that achieve?

  • @mgrande11 Really? 200+ years ago? There is a place for violence, but not now.

    I'll tell you the answer to "What would violence achieve?" It would cause mobilisation of riot police, death of hundreds of protestors and police, destruction of millions of dollars worth of people's cars, roads, shopfronts, it would give the right-wing a reason to vilify and disregard protestors demands, it would instantly turn public opinion away from Occupy Wall Street. It will achieve nothing in today's world.

  • @Eschewered Your right, I'm so wrong....end of conversation flower child.

  • Some old farts are saying -- look at them -- they all have CELL PHONES!

    Hello!

    Most dont have land lines!

    That's how they contact their families, friends, colleges, work, etc

  • @kopellhinex Your not helping the movement by spreading your hatred and advocating violence. If anything for every person like you it takes 100 people to drown you out so our real message comes out.

  • maybe ppl would get arrested if they quit their jobs too

  • @okeistm

    What a weak and pathetic statement. You are an anti-corporate tool.

    Occupy Wall Street is a JOKE.

    For us, it's business as usual, your pathetic riots mean nothing to us.

    Keep prostituting in the dirty, police-ridden streets, we'll keep raking in unprecedented profits with Obama's blessings from the safety of our highrise.

    It's the mass tax-paying suckers who pay for our calculated risks.

    If YOU make a mistake, the IRS sends you to jail, if WE make mistakes, we get paid ca$h bailouts!

  • @CorporateRule hahaha yea your country just became mucht better whit Obama. He saved the world made the sun come up again .

  • Join the true 99's New Yorkers who lost their jobs and unemployment. Check out these mostly young people with expensive cameras, phones, lap tops. Where ever they go start voilence and hurt small business trying to stay in business. I understand fight with banks, and millionaire tax. This group has made $325,000 in donations and $325 million dollars from our police group. Join the true 99's email me sicklicknls@aol.com

  • police is the private Army of the rich & ruling class paid for by the American taxpayer. The police will do anything that their Masters ask them to do. Police are armed & retarded they will hurt you & enjoy doing it. They get pleasure of out killing people. The more police we have more with crime we have because they create laws to make criminal out of anyone. if you're on jury acquitted anyone that accused by law enforcement only. It is obvious that the police are the enemy of the people

  • moveyourmoneyproject is a site that can help you find a local bank or credit union....there are others too

  • There's something you're not showing. Banks don't arrest people simply for closing an account.

  • Comment removed

  • take out bank credit and don't pay it back, were in bad shape as it is anyways, think of it as your own bank bail out.

  • Why are these people carrying Ipods and wearing designer clothes if they are against big corporations? Why do they worship Barrack Obama, a mufti-millionare, and Steve Jobs (a multi-billionare)? Why do they take their marching orders from George Soros (another multi-billionare)?

    How odd... only the seriously weakminded would believe that they are not "paid" by the DNC and its supporters to influence the public to re-elect Obama in 2012.

  • @AgentPepsi1

    Wait, what? They are using Ipods, therefore they are worshiping Steve Jobs and Obama? You cant be serious, right?

  • @AgentPepsi1 Your missing the point. They aren't against capatilism, and they are not against every single rich person, just like they aren't against every single corporation.

    They are against how some people in America who somehow remain incredibly rich and wealthy despite the GFC, and how the majority of people in America have to suffer despite playing no part in causing the GFC.

    And where did you find out about the DNC giving out payments? Your imagination?

  • SO what Will be the charge!! Am Confused!! Seriously!!

  • while you were asleep america your politicians fucked you in the ass. it was not the banks as much as it was the dodd frank bill. .. blame the source that did all of this shit. i would personally hate citibank along with chris dodd and barney frank.. bunch of fucking police state nazi whores.

  • If you want change, organize a massive run on the banks and only then will the elite pay attention to you.

  • Those cops don't even know how to lock a vehicle door, but they think they can arrest innocent people... idiot cops.

  • How dare they try to take the banksters money? Off to the FEMA reeducation camps for some waterboarding.

  • KILL COPS AND ANYONE ELSE WHO INFRINGES ON YOUR RIGHTS (BANKERS)

  • Is your money really your money if you CAN'T Take it out OR Close Your Account. Now they arrest you for that????

  • These cops need to be tied together with their fucking plastic handcuffs and dragged away with their own doddam paddywagons.

  • The only way you can have your desired "run on the banks" is if the banks have no money...the FED is making sure they have PLENTY of worthless play money...you guys anger is being misdirected. Wise up. BTW It's kind of stupid to cause a collapse...that only makes sense to Marxist and nihilistic anarchist assholes. A word to the wise is sufficient.

  • This is nothing but a stupid publicity stunt.

  • PSSSST, Come closer.......Listen carefully......shhhhhh.......t­he cops are with the banks (pass it on).

  • "We are the borg"

  • Get ready! This is what we in alternative media have trying to warn you of for years! We were the 'Tin Foilers' that all you ignorant mind-controled liberals and boot-licking Republicans laughed at!

    Are you laughing now?

    Now it's here and you' haven't seen anything yet. The CIA is openly taking over all domestic law enforcement. Massive troop movements and battle-alerts are now in effect all across the middle-east. These events are all linked.

    The globalists are preparing for WWIII.

  • If they locked you in, then the unlawfully detained you. This is a serious offense, and they can be prosecuted accordingly.

  • Worst newcast I've ever watched. Quality is really going down.

  • Whats with the mindless repeating, we get enough of that on tv-

    who is being programmed? We Closed all bank accounts, use only (member owned) credit unions since 2006 !

  • When I think of new york police I think of the brave men who risk their lives every day.The scenes of them hurting protestors only tarnishes their name and proves that Police are there to protect the rich and powerful. Citibank should be indicted for using terrorism against their customers.Now I ,sitting here in Australia know what they are doing on the other side of the world. Shame on Citibank and the NYPD

  • Was the guy in the hat "security" from CitiBank?

  • Spread this to all of your facebooks, emails, myspace.. every single medium you can get your finger tips onto

  • POLICE STATE

  • NYPD 'Paid Detail Unit'

  • Corruption, makes you sick to see these cops obeying unlawful orders. Their pushing people into a corner, while they expect us to obey the laws, they do not. What next? How much of this before all hell breaks loose and people die, including cops and bankers.

  • tension building...

    

  • all politicians alive should be arrested.they've let this robbery go on without screaming to high heaven, they just accepted their envelope and joined the con game. wake up people.they make us work 5 months out of year just to pay tax to rothschilds that only goes to interest. not even on principle.it's unpayable. it's a debt we didn't run up. our constitution says, NO!,our founders warned against the same families that DID do it to us. youtube, what did Ben Franklin say about jews in america.

  • end the fed, impeach obama, just use the laws that are on the books. you can't have a president appoint the justice depts. top man, attorney general. he appointed a thug as usual that has already committed treason by lying under oath to congress for arming foreign illegal entity. this is so illegal even americans should be able to see it. 

  • SHAME OF THE POLICE- they are just as fucked over by all of this as the rest of us- if they ALL joined us, the govt would have NO CHOICE but to CHANGE

  • @jenasis2012

    too late...ego driven muscle junkies, nerds and jackbooted dolts.

  • This stuff is cray.......Guess I shall move else where....fuck the world is ending soon anyway.

  • Those poor cops should be arresting the bankers!!!

  • ma lonca le'? na mesa dal previ comunista? ma ndei da via al cul!!!!!

  • Until a group of at least a hundred patriots bring enough firepower and actually use it, to stop these tyrants, and do it consistently, this will not stop.

  • @stainless1911 you are truly an absolute idiot.

    people like you are the reason china will sadly soon be number one. europe will be number two i hope.

  • This is unethical and unconstitutional what have we become?

  • a system where 1% of the people own 99% of the wealth and that makes half the world life in poverty is what i call unethical

  • @unitedfortreble That's a myth. Statistics and surveys of global/national wealth do not support that.

  • @hellonearth1066 no it is not.

  • @unitedfortreble Are you getting your statistic from what these people are saying or from official objective documents?

  • @FreedomRonPaul I know, I was sarcastic. I am Italian and the situation is so for years. Cossiga, a man who was very close to Berlusconi, publicly advised him to infiltrate agents, create disorder, and massacring the protesters with the excuse to stop violence, thanks to this idea, two people have died in recent years, a protester and a policeman

  • TEAR DOWN THE WALL!!!

  • Sell your stocks and bonds. Cash in your IRAs. Get your money out of the banks. Stop letting the 1% elite make money on your money. Cash is Trash anyway. These are the days of future past. Remember the depression? Bank Transfer Day November 5, 2011

  • Definition of Democracy. From two Greek words Demo -People. Cratic-power.

  • FUCK WALL STREET!

  • I fucking hate authorities

  • Im going to Close mine NOW!... This is BS!!...

  • make a run on CITIBANK

    

  • Thank you, everyone out there protesting! Your peacefulness makes it so clear who the aggressor is! If people would get violent - government would push new laws restricting protests in a split of a second.

    What are they going to do when thousands are gonna be there to close their accounts?

  • cacciamo i baroni ladri ovunque nel Mondo

    URLATE ARMONIA

  • what a bore! in Rome there was a lot of fun!

  • THIS MAKES ME LOL.

  • It's all Obama's fault.

  • remember...you can't take out money that doesn't exciste. Maybe a 1000 $ or 2 ...but if there was a run on the banks , they would shut there doors right in your face. ITS DIGITAL MONEY ....not worth anything :)

  • THIS IS NOTHING --- YOU ARE TO CALM !!! YOU SHOULD DESTROY THE COPS !

  • GO AMERICA - GO --- THE WHOLE WORLD IS BEHIND YOU !!!

  • DAMN MONEY.

    Just do what the Joker did with it.... "Everything Burns."

  • REMEMBER: a policeMAN has to SERVE the people. The COPS are NOT serving you, but het banksters and coörperations.

    Power 2 the People.

  • u kidding me? They were arrested just because they wanna close their saving accounts? seriously?????wtf?????plz tell me that's not true.............

  • Even in my little town we are protesting!!! I hope it doesn't get worse with the violence and such :(

  • We need batman!!!

  • I understand that most cops are doing their jobs. They are also part of the 99%. This action however is unacceptable and the cops as well as the bank managers should be brought up on charges. If you don't want people at your location you ask them to leave and then LET them. You don't lock them inside, let alone drag them back in.

  • How do these cops feel? I do not understand?

  • i agree with the protest but why do we blame cops they're just doing their jobs just to keep peace tat are not part of the protest PS we do need reform but not in violence
