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.
must have been a christian
Harass and intimidate!
Time for those honest police officers to start policing their own and guide these misguided Gestapo minded jerks… You9 know who they are !!!
This is wrong IF he was complying.
it is easy to fall asleep on the train. that is not a reason to get that from a plice officer.
C’mon good guys. How about pulling up on those that want to jOHN Wayne their way through their job. A little tact goes a long way and also being reasonable. You don’t have to be GESTAPO.
sorry but the police are getting out of hand and if this keeps up, nobody will trust them ever again.
Wøw !
these cops are out of control
we live in a police state
