For “fare evasion????” I’m not even mad, I just want to cry. What cruelty & barbarism we’re accepting as normal. Anyone who doesn’t think that these are the precedents of a police state doesn’t understand what a police state is. And we’re being asked to fund more of this…?

Would it make you feel better if he was a Trump supporter? Just pretend he is then you’ll find yourself upset that he wasn’t thrown under the train.

How can anyone responsibly share videos they have no context on, from someone they have no connection to or understanding of motivation of?

Our elites and billionaires murder with reckless abandon... see Big Pharma launched opioid crisis and America's endless wars... And our police state attacks - not the crooks in congress and the oligarchs - but the indigent who jump turnstile.

Three questions: 1) should fare evasion be illegal? 2) should police make an arrest for fare evasion? 3) should police use force if the suspect attempts to resist arrest? Many people say "yes" to 1, but "no" to 2 . . . which means "no" to 1 in actuality.

More often than not people taken into custody for "fare evasion" are being done so as part of targeted police sting. CCTV finds a pattern of the same guy engaging in fare evasion at certain times so the police plan a stake out to catch him.

That's a step below death for driving with expired plates.
