This is just stupid. And I mean, the arrest. You Americans seem to be subject to arrest for the stupidest things.
Putting your feet on a seat is gross. The guy should have complied with the indication to put them down. Non compliance should have resulted in -at most- a fine. This is what would had happened in my country, and my guess, in the majority of places in the world.
Laws are written in ways they can be used at the discretion of the power. Their discretion, their prerogative, their biase, their bigotry. All laws written to apply only when the power chooses are not law, but privilege.
That must be the "freedom" everyone is talking about...
Still trying to figure out which felonies get you deported and which ones get you a seat at the table. Starting to think its not about laws at all here.
It'$ not ju$t about badly-written law$, and it help$ if you do it the white way.
A "seat at the table" these days requires a heady mix of culpability, and wealthy/connected enough to be useful to someone more powerful. Just monied or just a phone-call away from prison ain't gonna cut it. That said, the clowns we see doing this are at the kid's table.
They hate us for it.
non-compliance should result in getting booted from the train, not just a fine
And if they won’t, especially if they’re belligerent (we don’t know), it’s fair for the operator to have the police remove them.
There’s a lot missing from the story and it is written for racist outrage, but it’s also plausible it was some self-centered asshole getting what he deserved
