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.
who’s going to clean them up? Comrade DiBlasio?
cops are the new terrorists. harass and intimidate the people they work for
why is that much of a shock people been being arrested forever , some go quietly some dont , just that cameras are everywhere so lets not all take eachtime we see this personly , now watching that picture it looks bad , but all arrest where person doesnt go quietly end up as , now if it was really brutal then it should be handle that way , not because somebody caught it with a phone camera
Glad to have them around when I need a First Responder.
Cops like these SUCK!!!
i will telling oathbreakers to kiss my ass
Positively draconian.
Wow
Perhaps we should stop being bystanders to these violations of The Constitution.
He must have missed his stop.
