I...had not come to get arrested, but as we tried to leave, several enormous undercover cops in sweatshirts and jeans appeared, blocked the exits and quite literally pushed us back into the bank...Ready to pounce on us, they made leaving the bank impossible...Police officers in white shirts seemed to swarm from everywhere. They rushed into the bank and told us we were being arrested...As they handcuffed us, we did not anticipate the next 30 hours that was in store for us.
