A woman was arrested at a bank in Texas on Thursday after she refused to wear a face mask inside the building, police said. The encounter was captured on an officer’s body camera. Police in Galveston said the woman, identified as 65-year-old Terry White, was charged with resisting arrest and criminal trespass after she became uncooperative with the officer. This incident came a day after the statewide mask mandate was officially lifted for public areas. According to the governor’s order, however, private businesses are still allowed to require masks as they see fit. The officer told White she needed to leave the Bank of
Get a lawyer and sue!!
That’s fascism!
She’s 65!
Where did “respect your elders” go?
BLM and Antifa run wild in the streets but this brave cop takes down a 65 year old woman with the sheeple “baaing in unison”?
I don’t like this at all!

Not only is the security guard at fault here, but the bank manager who succeed the security guard on the 65 year old woman. There are ways to handle this better. Someone, could ask her to step outside, find out what she needs and tell her how to withdraw her money without wearing a mask, right? But nope. We want submission. Too many people on power trips.

The bank deserves to be robbed. You’d think they would be the first ones to remove a mask mandate.

They even arrested her dog, which was in her vehicle. And she had a broken foot. The Governor of Texas said not to enforce the mask mandate. If Bank of American wants it enforced, they should do it with their security. It has not been challenged in the courts, but the claim that Bank of America is private and can claim trespass , while having its doors open to the public seems a question. The woman wanted to close her accounts and get her money. All Bank America had to do was ask her to stand aside, get her money, and give it to her, and she would have left. The bank manager should be fired. The police and Bank of America should be sued. The Governor and Attorney General should order this reviewed for possible charges against the police and Bank of America, and other disciplinary actions. The Governor has to take action to ensure law enforcement in the state of Texas are not enforcing the mask mandate, as his order says.

The poster of the article has it right--
Businesses are going to make their own rules, and if we don't follow them, we will be the guilty party.
Look for this to begin happening almost overnight and in EVERY way possible to control us, and effectively disenfranchise you from doing business.
First things first--FIND ANOTHER BANK, and hopefully, while it is a pain in the butt, HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS of others will take their business ELSEWHERE where the consumer is not treated that way.

I was in Florida in October and November, which was an open state at the time. In all that time, I was in one store that didn't require a mask.

This is going to happen over and over. The Governor needs to life the Mask Mandate COMPLETELY for the State. Not allowing people who feel like it to demand a Mask for entry. Either you have a mandate or you do NOT! TX Governor should change that immediately before more little old ladies are arrested!

In Texas? Who let the cowards in? What a punch of pusillanimous twits. I guess when people get terrified enough they will beat up on anyone to make themselves less scared. But Texas? I'm in the east and haven't worn a mask yet. A few people steered clear, a few gave dirty looks, but no Karens have said anything or thrown me out. I did see a bunch of Amish (real ones) today and nobody bothered them either. I guess they dont want to play our English silliness.

The response is to say, “Fine. I’ll take my business elsewhere. I’m sure there are plenty of other businesses which would love to have me as a customer.”
If enough people were to do that, things would change pretty quickly.

I am invited into your house. I light up a cigarette...you ask me to put it out. Your home right? I crush out the butt on the floor and light up a cigar. You ask me to leave. I refuse. Now what? it's your house, and I'm acting contrary to your wishes. You gonna call the cops? Start a melee? What?
BOA has the right to do what it will on its premises, as you do on yours. This woman is wholly at fault for this. She could have left. Instead she blows proverbial smoke in the face of BOA employees. The cops gave her a choice, too. As they say, you can't fix stupid.

It truly pains me to be the devil's advocate here goes: the bank lobby is private property. On private property, the owner's can set policies for being on their private property (think no shirt, no shoes, no service). The woman was told that a mask was required to be in the lobby. She refused. She was asked to leave the private property. She refused. She was ordered to leave by police. She refused. The police attempted to remove her from the private property. She refused to comply with police commands and physically resisted removal. So, she was not arrested for not wearing a mask. She was arrested for failure to comply with lawful commands and resisting.

I agree with you #15. Although I sympathize with her, the police were correct and she should have left. She could have called the bank and closed her account and had them send her a check. If they refused, then sue them.

#14 There is a difference. Your house is owned by you. The BOA is owned by the public/stock holders. It's not private it's a publicly held company.

People have been brainwashed. You see people who are driving alone in a car with a mask on. You see people walking in the park alone with a mask on. I wear my mask as little as possible, but I have to wear it in Church. There is something really wrong going on here. The big picture is control through fear. I don't like it. It seems like no one stood up for the lady who didn't have a mask on. People piled on her about not wearing a mask. Think about this: BLM, Antifa, all these rioters who have looted, who have burned buildings down, who have ruined small businesses, who have walked into stores and terrorized people have not been arrested or even detained or questioned, but this 65 year old woman has decided (after our Governor lifted the mask mandate) that she just wants to go to the bank and get her money without a mask. Everyone bravely disses her, cuffs her, and detains her. What has happened to us? I'm sorry for her, and I'm sorry for all the people who are so afraid to be in the same room with someone not wearing a mask. We have to start living a normal life. I refuse to be controlled by fear. This is a sick way to live.

First thought I had was don't the police have something better to do? Police would say 'yes', but they were called to the bank because someone was causing a disturbance over a silly mask. Some people will want to get rid of their masks ASAP. Others will never give them up because they are a matter of personal safety. People will have different standards regarding personal safety and face masks, and there is no right or wrong regarding this.
Some business wants to continue enforcing a mask mandate? That's their choice. It is also our choice to decide if we will continue to patronize that business. Some people don't ever want to wear a mask ever again. For others, masks just aren't that big a deal.
There's no right or wrong in this.

We just got back from a trip from indiana to south Texas and more people than not wear masks in every state. I didn’t not once and my husband did a couple times. Only one store clerk didn’t have one on and even though she was a little rude, I thought of her as a fellow resistor. We need more rebels.

BofA gave records of their customers’ withdrawals/debits around and on Jan 6th near DC without customer’s approval.
This is all you need to know.
As a manager of #1 bank of top four in LA, Customer Service it key...
Manager needed to bring [unmasked] customer into her/his office, complete a withdrawal slip, go get her $$ behind the teller line, and escort the customer on her way out the door.
Police have more important business.
The key, BofA, is hiring logical and smart ppl, then train them.

I went into Quik Trip today, with grand nephews and their father, forgot my mask, just said, "Screw it" and went in. Got a fountain drink for me, helped the grand kids, and we all went up and I paid. No mention of anything, no bad looks from other customers.....just fine.
I may just start not wearing one at all.

This is a nearly textbook example of anarcho-tyranny in action. First, do not enforce laws against the most egregious offenders (e.g., BLM, Antifa, Democrat politicians) but come down with draconian force on citizens who fail to qualify as among the "favored" groups. Smash the law-abiding middle class with oppressive taxes, regulations, laws of all sorts and punish the offenders harshly and publicly, in order to obtain submission. It's a lot like how traffic laws are enforced, and now "masking" rules. If you are a middle class, employed, responsible citizen, you are among the most vulnerable group to be the subject of draconian enforcement measures for the smallest infractions. (See what happens if you fail to pay your speeding ticket, pay your property or income tax, build a structure without proper permit, etc. Now include "masking/social distancing rules.) If you are among those whom the powers that be wish to protect/favor, you may break the rules, and even ignore laws against violent behavior with impunity. Another timely example is the difference between enforcement of laws governing acquisition, possession and use of firearms; only those whom the state wishes to control are punished for infractions, whereas laws prohibiting use or possession of firearms by felons or failure to obtain concealed carry permits are universally ignored when transgressed by inner-city thugs. Notice also the different enforcement levels against the January 6 protestors and the ones running amok in Portland, Seattle, etc. Are you catching on yet, citizen?

This is how it starts. Private business can indeed require masks, but what happens if they all decide to do it so they can promote their 'Extra Safety Precautions'?
De facto mask requirements.
