A woman arrested at a bank last week after she refused to wear a face mask cried police brutality as she was handcuffed but fellow customers responded in a chorus of No, no it is not. (See the bodycam arrest video below.)

Terry White, 65, who said she doesnt believe in the coronavirus pandemic, can be seen telling a responding officer at a Galveston, Texas, Bank of America that Gov. Greg Abbott lifted mask restrictions in the state. But the cop reminds her that businesses can set their own rules and refuse service to those who dont comply. So mask up, or leave.

As the argument escalates, the officer says: Maam, listen: We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

What are you going to do? Arrest me? White asks. Thats hilarious.

When the officer gets out his handcuffs, she appears to struggle with him. He wrestles her to the floor and cuffs her. Thats when White attempts to recruit the sympathy of other customers by yelling police brutality right here, people.

But all she apparently gets is a No, no it is not from several customers who are wearing masks. What a bunch of sheep, she snipes back.

The Daily Dot, a Texas-based news site , called her an anti-mask Karen, a description echoed by many on Twitter.

White was issued a warrant for charges of resisting arrest and criminal trespass, The Daily News of Galveston County reported . She complained of foot pain in the video and went to the hospital with minor injuries, police said.
