The officer's bodycam caught the drama which unfolded as he explained to White that she had to leave and return with a mask before she could be served according to The Daily Dot.
She claimed that a mask was not necessary after the Texas governor Greg Abbott lifted that mak mandate in public places.
The officer explained that the bank was not a public place but a private company that could determine it's own mask policy according to Huffington Post.
White does not believe that Covid-19 is real and refused to wear a mask. The officer eventually arrested her, knocking her to the ground and put her in handcuffs.
She was charged with allegedly resisting arrest and criminal trespass.
Earlier, Briefly.co.za reported that a new term has been coined for over-entitled women and men who rage against employees over simple issues. Recently, mask policies in stores have become a bugbear for a lot of 'Karens' particularly in the US. However, now and then a South African 'Karen' hits the headlines.
A woman went ballistic in a Pick 'n Pay in South Africa when the staff asked her to wear a mask. Yusuf Abramjee uploaded a video that was taken which documented the woman's meltdown.
She began shouting about her rights and produced a document in which she claimed that the Constitutional Court declared the lockdown unconstitutional and illegal.
Another woman who was off-camera could be heard sympathising with the Pick 'n Pay employees, saying that they were just doing their jobs and enforce store policy.
