The various "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations around the country declared Thursday to be a "day of action" in the ongoing protest of big banks and Wall Street policies that they blame for a sagging economy.
While thousands protested in Manhattan, Los Angeles and other cities, several hundred people took to the streets of downtown Amherst.
According to video supplied to The Republican by Julie Varney of Amherstwire.com, demonstrators assembled in front of Bank of New England branch at South Pleasant and Amity Streets.
At one point, the footage shows demonstrators storming into the bank lobby to disrupt business. After several moments, demonstrators crossed the street and repeated the action inside TD Bank.
The video concludes with police responding, and protesters marching out of the bank.
Amherst police Thursday night said there was no information about whether anyone was arrested.

Don’t let the name of the reporting paper fool ya....there is *NOTHING* republican about the area it serves. Amherst happens to have a confluence of the most liberal colleges found anywhere. UMass, Hampshire, Smith, Amherst.
Why am I not surprised.
As always, I wish the punks would try this in MY bank. The locals would have gunned half of them down before anybody could fully dial 9-1-1 on their cell phone.
Only Brown in Providence, Rhode Island can top it! 8-D
Yeah, and allowing flea bitten hippies to storm the branches and threaten the lives of the employees is they way to do it./s
I never suggested that, those are your words.
However, I could care less about Bank of America. I really dislike fatcorps like BofA because they aid and abet, and pander to illegal aliens. I spit in their face.
BTW, pro-illegal alien Bank of America has lots of money, including tax payer bail out money. Is BofA too cheap to hire security for their corrupt employees?
You’re a f*****g idiot.
lol...
And you're a crying, sniveling hog-jawed illegal alien lover who supports corrupt corps who take bail out money from the tax payers, among other things.
Cheers!
The faster you go back to some liberal website the better.
Those against pandering to illegal aliens are liberals!
hehehe..
Go get um Miss jane!
"Screw America, Profits regardless of consequences.
Remember when your illegal alien loving Bank of America announced that they will offer credit cards to those who cannot supply a social security number putting bank profits ahead of national security?
The stinking bank didn't even require any credit history, except having had a checking account with the bank for three months without an overdraft...
Remember when your beloved Bank of America had "quietly" started offering credit cards to people without Social Security Numbers?
Then Bank of America defended this betrayal:
Brian Tuite, the director of the bank's Latin America card operations said, "These people are coming here for quality of life and they deserve somebody to give them a chance to achieve that quality of bla, bla, bla...
Spit*
Fun fact: Bush’s first Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (2003-2005), Eduardo Aguirre, was President of International Private Banking for Bank of America, where he worked for 24 years.
Whoops!
No, those pandering against corporations are liberals.
