The point of these police assaults is to intimidate people into giving up. And, to some degree, they work. The DAs can keep these arrests on their records and use them for subsequent arrests. Citibank can push a litany of civil injunctions against them (restraining orders, for instance). Police can just make shit up (drunken disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, terrorist threats, whatever they feel like) and leave the victims to contest it. Eventually, its just a question of how much money you've got for your defense lawyers and how unfriendly a judge the DA can find to participate in the harassment.
