They weren't arrested for trying to close accounts. They were arrested for having a "teach-in" inside the branch and refusing to leave after being asked to do so by the manager. As usual, the protestors are the more vocal side, and I can find numerous accounts of what happened, and many of them mention their refusal to leave the premises. That said, there are people who just happened to be there who were arrested, and the police in this situation seemed to act outside legal limits. Dragging the one woman back inside and locking the doors was really out there.

In any case, I found this while looking for stories. Call this irony or failure to monitor ads, but it's still funny.
