Watch a 65-year-old Texas woman tackled and handcuffed after refusing to leave a Galveston Bank of America branch that requires customers to wear a mask.
A Galveston police officer arrived at the scene and told the woman, Terry White, that she had to wear the mask.
Governor Abbott lifted a statewide mask mandate but private businesses can keep the requirements.
The woman wouldn’t leave and the officer tried to usher her out. She wasn’t cooperating so he eventually tried to arrest her. She appears to have refused to put her hands behind her back.
“Back up! Back up! Some old lady is getting handcuffed here!” the woman yells as she is tackled and cuffed. No one appeared to care.
White faces charges of criminal trespass and resisting arrest, but Governor Abbott’s directive states that refusing to wear a mask isn’t enough for criminal charges.
The woman also said the officer broke her foot. She was treated at a local hospital.

Wow….this is OUT OF CONTROL…that woman had zero help from anyone…seriously…she wasn’t bothering anyone and was rounded up and arrested because someone snitched- Soviet Russia anyone? Anyone? Arbitrary and capricious…little independent dictatorships, conditioned nicely for well over a year, receiving COVID MONEY from the Central Government! Is it not enough the Governors crowned themselves, that the bought off businesses have… Read more »
Bet you’d have been outraged if the cop had been “killed in the line of duty” though…
Can’t have it both ways.
She should have stuck to allowed activities like looting and arson.
I don’t wear the ineffective masks anywhere. The government has no authority to force them. However BOA is private property and it is their right to require masks. Her solution would be to draw her money out of BOA and go elsewhere. I would have done that with or without the mask requirement if for no other reason than the… Read more »
Yes, withdraw your money and find a Bank who does not require a mask to enter their business. Such banks who are brave enough to not require one should also advertise this option.
Well said brother. And I hope all freedom loving American’s that viewed this arrest taking place, do the same thing … IMMEDIATELY.
ARE they private property since they got bailed out on my tax dollars?
Aren’t I part owner of that corporation now? Isn’t that true, social justice? I know the racist system won’t agree with that sentiment, but cops aren’t supposed to support the racist system anymore…
Pretty sure borders aren’t borders and banks aren’t private companies in the current year.
That has completely handled wrong written all over it. Like the poor woman was a real threat to life & limb of that officer.
Failing to comply with a lawful order by police is a legal cause for arrest. What do you suggest was a proper response when she refused to leave where she wasn’t wanted and had no legal right to be because she refused to comply with BOA request? Don’t lose sight of the actual issue…
Major, my bank does not believe in the physical abuse of a senior citizen, regardless. To avoid similar problems, my bank carries an excellent type mask to be given freely to customers who, like I did, forgot to bring theirs. Problem solved. I believe that violence begets and responds in kind to violence and the end result is not pretty.
Major Todd says, “…Don’t lose sight of the actual issue…”
Comply or die no matter how meaningless the actual issue. Got it.
The cops are way wrong in this situation. Cops are not authorized to enforce policy. They are authorized to enforce laws. It is BoA “policy” to wear a mask. There is no law requiring a mask. The lady should have been informed that she would be “trespassed” at the request of BoA. Then, she could be arrested for trespassing, which… Read more »
Excellent point.
‘this cop’s mother must be very proud of this creature called her son! There were better ways to handle the situation. Is this the cause of a year lost to violence?
Apparently she WAS arrested for criminal trespass as she refused to leave the premises. While Masking may be dumb, ineffective or actually dangerous to some people, it’s perfectly legal for private enterprise to establish reasonable rules for employees and guests.
I have never worn a mask, and only twice at the very beginning last June did stores refuse to do business with me. My policy is this, and should be for everyone who knows masks are a fraud to affirm the narrative of a fraud. If a store, or bank, will not let me transact business because I refuse to… Read more »
This is why she should’ve killed him once he battered her by making unwanted contact not in the course of his duties. She would’ve been justified in defending her person from harm and molestation.
Mandate lifted yipee, stores still enforce mask wearing for what purpose? Mask do nothing except damage ones immune system, breathing in your own poisonous air. Talk about pollution.. masks on the ground, thrown away in trash bins instead of HAZARD waste bins but hey its all good as long as you become a sheep and follow the insane idiots that… Read more »
They are not vaccines. A vaccine is a concoction of dead virus which causes the immune system to build up anti bodies to fight protect against a virus.. The mRNA Covid-19 injection only reduces the protein spikes ability to attach to a cell.
you can have live virus = there are live rabie vaccines and dead ones like you speak
I know – cause a vet killed a pet of mine mixing them up –
that said – VACCINES do not rewrite RNA – that’s the difference
Proper course of action is to wait until a store associate insists you wear one or (insert threat here). Comply, then allow the complications to take hold and have a seat on the floor to catch your breath. Slowly breathe more heavily and refuse to remove your mask now because of how important they said it was. Request assistance to… Read more »
Do the cartel comrades and sleeper cells crossing the border have their masks on in the spirit of unity?
Fear God and not the plandemic plagues, don’t be like pharaoh.
