~ Bank of America refused woman service due to no mask and asked her to leave
~ BoA called cops when she refused to leave
~woman asked to close her accounts and collect her money presumably because of the mask dispute, bank employees refused to give her her money without woman wearing mask....a Mexican standoff
~ cop trespassed her (ordered her to leave based on the BoA folks saying she had to go
~ woman refused,
~cop told her he was going to arrest her, and that's when she started backing toward the door (presumably to leave)
~cop didn't resolve the situation by simply following her outside to put an end to the issue, he arrested her and threw her to the ground in the process
It's a private property rights issue. The woman was in the wrong, even though I disagree with mask requirements, generally. It's their bank, their rules.
