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.
F**k those police! Let them walk in that mans shoes!
Wouldnt doubt if the individual was a problem long before this video was taken .
What Happened To PEACE OFFICER’S ? I was one in 1976 for a while my Dad said treat people the way you would want to be treated or as if were a member of your family. How would they react if someone in a back shirt treated their family member this way.??
Why don’t they pay for his hotel room since they’re such a big mafia they just like to hurt people
This is out of hand.
I don’t really know… BECAUSE I WASN’T THERE… But… From past experiences… If when they woke him he was startled and being half asleep he put up a ruckus… Maybe… You know wand maybe what you are witnessing is a group of Officers trying to subdue a man who was startled and became combative at not understanding what was going on…And then there’s the possibility that this alleged only sleeping man was wanted for other issues not at the time known by anyone on scene at that time, but himself… There are so many possibilities to be passing judgement from a video…
it is really sad
with the o there be more
Earning there name PIGS
If he has no where to go then subway is ok, he is not hurting anyone and the police are over reacting again in their arrests.
