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.
IF YOU ARE A BAD POLICE OFFICER YOU WILL GET YOUR SOON ENOUGH. A RETIRED MARINE.
NY ,s ,,BS,,
it time for all American to stand up for their rights
Dam….ever think to ask the man if he needed to be taken to a shelter? Or maybe help him get some coffee? Rude ass cops
They did not need to arrest this man.
I am sick of this from CALI to New YORK ASS WHOLE COPS Strike out AGAIN ,and AGAIN , and AGAIN ,enough already !!!!!!!!!!!
Hello!! Sleeping on the bus isn’t nor should it be a crime. If the person is just joyriding sans paying, then that’s different and usually drivers won’t let you on or if you don’t pay they kick you off. Did they ever think of sleep or medical disorders like Narcolepsy, Diabetes;etc. ? Oh and if one does fall asleep most drivers or even passengers will wake the person up.
Nothing surprises me from this liberal city
Purge?
Maybe he didn’t have any where else to sleep. what a shame.
