here's the entitled mindset you're defending:

“The mood for J31 is simple,” one man says. “F-- your S2.75, no cops in the MTA, free transit, no harassment period and full accessibility.”

They believe that any sort of minority (except for Asians) should be able to do whatever the **** they want and then cry racism when they get caught. Then they’ll demand no bail.

If I were the Police Union President, I'd encourage NYPD to stand down on enforcing the law today. Should be fun, actually the cops probably like this, probably get them a raise by the time it's over. Anarchy in the streets ..... lmao.. (any press coverage will be slanted toward the protestors) ...

think of all the money New York has spent to attract tourism back into the city. Stories like this and the crime rate going up is going to be a disaster for de Blasio. He'll back the protestors, nobody will go to jail.

I'd use facial recognition camera's to identify all of these protesters for future reference.

When these protesters call the police at any time in their futures to ask for police assistance, the police should just say...."we're kid of tied up right now, call us back next week and we'll see if we ca help you out then"

whoever came up with this 'disproportionality' bullsheet should be covered in karo syrup and staked to a hill of fire ants for a few days.

the very idea that people have to receive punishment proportional to their numerical population, not their actual behavior, is jaw-dropping stupidity.

A little more on the thugs: https://www.city-journal.org/brookly...s-fare-evasion

Deadbeats don't want to pay the miniscule fare of the subway and are throwing a tantrum. Knowing NYS, they will pass another gas tax increase so they won't have to.

thanks for this, reading it now. city journal has some good writers.

Protesters chanted familiar slogans such as “No justice, no peace/**** these racist police,” and the message was intensified by calls for violence. Choruses of “punch a cop in the face/every nation, every race,” were echoed by large banners reading, “Ante Up! Punch that cop!” Vehicles were tagged “NYPD KKK,” and eggs and garbage were thrown at a police cruiser.
good to see that the usual idiots are on board in a big way - hoolie-yawn castro and ocrazio-cortex.

Part of last Friday’s protest included a mass refusal to pay subway fares, with scores of people clambering over the turnstiles in reaction against what advocates call the “criminalization of poverty”—or enforcement of fare collection. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted her support, explaining, “ending mass incarceration means challenging a system that jails the poor to free the rich. Arresting people who can’t afford a $2.75 fare makes no one safer and destabilizes our community.”

Protesters are expected to jump turnstiles en masse and tag up train stations throughout the five boroughs during the anti-NYPD rally, titled “F--- The Police III," which is in response to alleged “over-policing” in the subway, including supposed racially-motivated fare-beating arrests and ticketing.

Actually, I take back my previous comment.
If they are gonna jump the turnstiles enmasse the cops should kick it old school and shoot them all up with tear gas and rubber bullets.

Aren't liberals lovely?

If you see someone behaving like an ass in public or destroying property, rest assured it is a liberal.

Yeah, I doubt you'll see many MAGA hats. Bernie ones, I wouldn't bet against.
