Police in riot gear have begun arresting Occupy San Francisco protesters who took over the lobby of a Bank of America in the city’s financial district Wednesday afternoon.
After a two-hour standoff, more than a dozen officers began arresting protesters sitting on the floor in the lobby of the California Street bank about 3:50 p.m. Police used plastic handcuffs to arrest demonstrators, who shouted back at the officers, “You’re the 99%!”
Dozens of protesters remained in the bank, and the arrests proceeded in a peaceful and orderly fashion.
Some of the demonstrators included university students, who joined Occupy San Francisco demonstrators to denounce tuition increases.
