Reporting from San Francisco—
Protesters in the Occupy Wall Street movement seized a Bank of America branch in the city's financial district Wednesday, a demonstration that forced jittery customers and employees to flee and ended in nearly 100 arrests.
It took about 40 police officers in riot gear nearly four hours to clear the bank, but no one was injured. Police said many of those arrested were UC Santa Cruz students who were protesting fee increases and budget cuts.
Police removed the protesters methodically, placing them in plastic handcuffs, citing them for misdemeanor trespassing and sending them off in police wagons for further processing.

"You're the 99!" the protesters told them as the arrests began.

In no way am I for tax-funded public education....we already see the results of that in the dumbing down of the U.S. There are practically no jobs for 'degreed' graduates anyway thanx to our idiotic form of cronie capitalism and government regulations. The protestors should be protesting the Bankster bailouts and so-called "too big to fail" falsehood.
