Im living my life sorry

You are right

So why would you not want the law enforced on the Ferry if it wasn't enforced on BLM protesters who don't wear masks? Of all the people that don't wear face masks why are you particular to the percentage of BLM protesters who don't wear face masks?

The population of New York is 8,175,133
Let's say it's down somewhat because of the pandemic say 7,500,000 and you can see on the streets at best mask wearing is about 75% let's say 85% in the most compliant neighborhoods

That means 15% of 7,500,000 is 1.125 million people not wearing masks

And if you look at a lot of the BLM footage most are wearing masks anyway, possibly at a higher percentage than the general population. They also tend to wear more mask to resist tear gas hat is sometimes used
So of protesters who don't wear masks amounts to a few thousand how does it make any sense for you to say enforcing the law on public transportation should be based on what people in the BLM do?
Apply the law only to people whose politics you don't agree with ?
