Occupy San Francisco Protesters Shut Down Wells Fargo Building, 11 Arrested 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------



In San Francisco, roughly 200 supporters of the Occupy Wall Street
movement temporarily shut down a Wells Fargo bank headquarters Wednesday
morning, leading to 11 arrests. The demonstrators reportedly posted
blown-up foreclosure notices on the doors of the bank, held up by
stickers reading, "We are the 99 percent."

Carl Finamore, Labor Activist: "I was asking these police officers how
they felt at this stage in their life of protecting the banks against
the people. They are trying to take the pensions from these cops the
same as they are trying to do to us. I worked for United Airlines. It
took the pension of all the employees when it went into bankruptcy and
terminated it. The last thing in the world I would be doing is standing
at the doorway, interfering with the right of these peaceful people,
with the right of assembly to protest what these banks have done to
society."
