Guess soon I won’t have to pay the fare! I’m the only sucker who pays.
Opinion: Video of police arresting a person on the train.
Wonderful to see people are finally learning to give room to officers and let them do their job.
Not one meddling trouble maker. All respectable civilians mind a few phone videotaping annoyances.
Job well done on both sides by the police and the citizens.
Who are the folks sponsoring these events? Regardless of how you feel about the message you have to admire the opinion masters for their sentiment managment. Here is a disenfranchised group that has been effectively organized to collectively direct all of their anger and hate towards municipal workers. Talk about divide and conquer and keeping the poor fighting among themselves, this is a masterclass in subversion.
I read some of the news about this but I was confused - they are protesting cops reinforcing fare paying? The trains don't run by themselves, people run them, and there are labor and maintenance costs. We can't just hop on a train for free. The fare goes toward labor costs and maintenance, toward the running of the system. I once heard this man (he got caught fare evading) lecturing a fare inspector that he can't expect people to pay if they don't have the money. I thought the world had gone insane. Guy was putting out an argument that if he didn't have the money, he shouldn't be punished but you have to pay for services, for things. He seemed sane and the fare inspector was being respectful saying there were public assistance programs or some such things, actually listening to this man's ramblings. I forgot to mention that the man was holding an expensive iPhone.
an MTA ride costs the same as a pizza slice. I bet he will be quite willing to buy one.
All these folks running around with their iPhones and name brand clothing can't afford public transportation?
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Nah it's just the entitlement generation, who are obviously dumber than a box of rocks.
These literal MORONS are anti-cop because they don't like being told no you can't do that. Their failure parent(s) never set boundaries, so now when they hit the real world where societal boundaries are everywhere they can't cope.
well blame baby boomers who raised them. Baby boomers had parents who certainly set limits and a good walloping of the tale was quite in order.

Assorted socialist groups. I bet that most of these kids have college degrees and parents who will bail them out. Poor minorities know better than to tangle with the cops.
I want the PO-PO to ignore 911 calls in high crime areas. ITS PAYBACK *****
So everyone who lives in these neighborhoods doesn't pay taxes, and is a criminal? You know a bunch of gentrifying white folks are also going to suffer.
It can happen to all of us. Give you an example - I drove my daughter to class in 1ueens from the Bronx, and asked her if she had her metro card and she said " Yes ". However, a few hours she called and said she did not have her bus card. She left it in the car seat and we founded it later. She asked the bus driver and he let her on. Also my wife takes the Q 44 daily between the Bronx and Queens, sometimes the machines that you buy the fairs with don't work.
Lucky the driver was nice and let her on. He absolute was not obligated to.
Moral of the story - don’t forget your card next time. In a different scenario, like boarding a flight, u may not be that fortunate
lmfao @ morons protesting cops from trying to stop them from jumping fares
