Sorry. I still want to see the raw footage from the bank surveillance cameras before I pass judgement on anyone here.

Shostie: Sorry. I still want to see the raw footage from the bank surveillance cameras before I pass judgement on anyone here.

Because the 'locking them in the bank and then arresting them for trespassing' plus this doesn't raise eyebrows.

Sure. But I'm still going to trust raw video footage over verbal testimony.

If what went down is what the protesters said went down, the bank will never release footage. Hell they probably never will, but if the protesters are anywhere close to the truth, the bank won't because they would look bad. So you're basically putting off making any kind of judgement by demanding an impossible.

Too bad entrapment has gone out of style.

Going green, eh? Here come the 99% pictures. Let's try and keep to the hotties of OWS, people.

Wait, this isn't OWS related? People are being loud and disruptive in other places?

/oh well
//like I said, bring on the pictures

... and how many times can I look stupid in one thread?

/let this be a lesson to you liters. rta
//Now where are those damn pictures?

if the cops are going COINTELPRO already then someone upstairs must be more worried than they're letting on. this thing really has the GOP and their minions twisted up inside.

not to play conspiracy theorist here but don't you think if the video backed up the police/citibank they would release it?

They've been worried since they managed to form the Tea Party out of the Religious Right

Note how the people who left when the bank asked them to leave weren't arrested.

fail. it would be a "birf certificate gambit" if they released the video and I claimed it was a short form of the video and demanded to see the full video in 4k HD while knowing full well the security cams record at VGA and in black and white.

Dwight_Yeast: ...except for the woman the cop drug back into the bank.

She left with the other 3? Why was she singled out?
Maybe she was trying to leave after the officer identified himself and told them they were arrested (which according to the guy interviewed is "illegal").

There is video. He says something to her along the lines of "you were with everyone else" or something like that. Couldn't make it out myself.

FWIW, to me, undercover seemed like something of a douche in the video. A bit rougher than seemed necessary, but what do I know. What's the point? Why not let her leave if that's what she wanted?
I would add, though, IIRC rather than saying "I'm leaving", she was shaking some paper in his face saying "I AM A CUSTOMER" or something like that.

Stile4aly: So, for all the Teapologists who have claimed that racist signs were from liberal infiltrators, this is what a false flag actually looks like.

No, kidding, where were the undercover pigs when the teaparty were going around armed...this time.

skullkrusher: grxymkjbn: To the police who are infiltrating and false-flagging OWS: The wealth that you are protecting belongs to people who want to bust YOUR unions and steal YOUR pensions. Food for thought.

not really

Christ.

Shaggy_C: tallguywithglasseson: She left with the other 3? Why was she singled out?
Maybe she was trying to leave after the officer identified himself and told them they were arrested (which according to the guy interviewed is "illegal").

Probably because the rest of them got the fark out of there while she was still yelling at people through the bank windows and making a scene? If she had just departed the area, she would not have spent the night in jail. Yelling about 'being a customer' isn't going to convince the undercover cop who five minutes before saw you chanting along with the other tattooed, mohawk-sporting crazy people inside.

I have no doubt she was with them but she was also a customer that closed her account. That is valid business.

Shaggy_C: Lumbar Puncture: Waiting to pass judgment until there is something other than circumstantial evidence? I'd like the bank to release the footage as well, otherwise it would be impossible to judge what happened, the banks, cops and protesters are all going to say whatever covers their own asses.

The interviewee from the article has video from the whole thing but refuses to release it. Why would that be?

Greedy? Looking for the highest price? It will be bought by someone.

Dwight_Yeast: She's outside when most of what happens goes down, which means she's already left the bank.

"Most of what went down"? 30 seconds into the video, the guy from the interview I posted says they're getting arrested. All the stuff he described happened in a span of 30 seconds?
She's outside for most of the video. When the video started vs. when "most of what went down" went down, may (or may not) be two different things.

Dwight_Yeast: The fact that she's a customer does give her the right to be in the bank, unless she was asked specifically to leave.

Agreed. Further, same should apply for any member of the public.

nigeman: I may be a little old, but back in my day we knew that causing trouble in a bank wasn't going to turn out too good

So why aren't those that sold incredibly dangerous derivatives arrested? Sounds like causing trouble in a bank.
