Danny Glover was arrested with 11 others but it was not a case of violence or force that caused the arrest; Danny Glover was with the others and stepped across a yellow line and was asked to step back three times. When they stepped across again they were all arrested.

Those arrested will face either 90 days in jail or a $1,000 fine, and were issued citations for trespassing according to KTLA News. 

Danny Glover was at the rally on behalf of workers at Sodexo and he told the crowd:

The union wants to address unfair treatment and even potential illegal treatment of their workers. Sodexo has just responded that the the union does not have the right information.

This is not the first time that Danny Glover has been involved in politics and disputes. he was part of a group that called for a boycott of all Hugo Boss suits at the 2010 Oscars and asked his celebrity friends such as Quentin Tarantino and Sean Penn to not wear the famous designer.

He did this out of protest for Hugo Boss laying off 300 of its workers.
