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.
video has been removed but from what I read here these p**s poor excuses for cops used way to much force and should be in there own jail.
Yes! The police needs to be educated! Ass!
they need fired for assaulting him
Was he a Veteran ?
There so many ways to apprehend Vets. Go into our work, traffic stop, Raid our homes, with a BS search warrant …staged car jacking….walking up and asking for a cig ,time….just to name a few…
Who cares what NY does??
only in NY.
Bullies with badges!
The BULLIES IN BLUE at it again!!!!
there are more than just a few rotten apple in the NYPD, someone has to do the clean up or it going to be too late.
