A man was apparently arrested for sleeping on the subway in a rather brutal altercation with the NYPD this month.
Sections 1050.7 (10) and (5) of the Mass Transit Authority’s (MTA) Rules of Conduct state that sleeping on trains is prohibited only “if it is hazardous or interfering with fellow passengers.” One is forbidden to lie down or take up more than one seat, and it is unclear from the video if he was sleeping in an upright position.

NYPD´s Brutal Arrest Of Man Sleeping On The Subway
Still, there is no need to actually arrest someone, taking matters to such extremes, for such a minor offense, even if the man was ‘lying down’.
Our police state is increasing day by day and law enforcement is becoming more brutal, unreasonable and without skill to handle matters through fostering good will. It takes thugs to enforce a police state and continually demand complete submission to authority.
Well what do you expect from such a COMMIE city and state like NY and the state of NY. I would NEVER visit that state or city
SS Amerika…
You know they were in the wrong.They removed the video proves they are guilty
Until the PEOPLE rise up and begin SHOOTING COPS DEAD, this tyranny will NEVER END!
Oh yeah that will end tyranny in a flash, completely. Let the people live in anarchic bliss. Everyone will be on their best behavior, right?
Cops MUST be stopped acting like terrorists, and if we have to shoot them to MAKE them stop, then so be it!
A terrorist is the SAME, with a badge and without!
This message is for Ernest Erickson, I under stand your frustration, but not all Police Officers act in this manner. I agree that this was a stupid arrest and could had been simply dealt with in a non violent manner, and maybe a little discretion on the Officers side would had been a better outcome, but to blatantly state that people should shoot Cops is an irresponsible statement. It’s like saying everyone who looks and acts like Ernest Erickson should be arrested or killed. That’s not fair is it? Let’s remind ourselves that Police Officers are Human beings. They are not perfect, some may act like they are, but they are not. Most Officers just want to do the right thing, but some seem to not comprehend that their job is to protect and serve our communities, and find themselves in a jaded mindset. The Us against them attitude. Most Officers who are in that mindset are usually the young ones who need some soul searching and accept that Officers are not here to force our laws on people, but only to uphold the laws with discretion. Ernest Erickson it’s like the old saying goes, Walk a mile in the other mans shoes, before you judge him. This country needs some soul searching and we all need to respect each other’s rights. We need to stop spreading hatred and start fixing our country!
NAZIS”%&$#@
