whoever wrote the article sucks
Most Americans don't realize just how deeply racist some people are in this country, I've seen similar behavior before from white women, towards a black kid who was just hanging around in a library, and now these shitty people feel even more emboldened.
The "You're not the minority anymore" part was what made me do a double take. The level of delusion these people engage in is absolutely insane.

The article is purposely misleading.
From another article: The Bear’ writer booted from MTA train for refusing to take feet off seats — he blames ‘old white lady’
Why do you trust that article more than this one? Did you see his feet on the seat?
Real question, is feet-on-the-seat something people are typically arrested for there?
I can't say I have been on transit for that one, but transit police did get called about a guy on the bus talking to passengers and making eye contact. He said he was just a christian trying to be friendly, but due to it being abnormal passengers complained, maybe assuming he was mentally ill. That's The world we live in LOL

lmfao jesus the misleadingness of it
get your fucking feet off the seat or get off the train
if they leave that out, I trust nothing they said about how the rest of it went
I’ve personally seen a fully nude homeless man sleeping stretched out on a 6 train’s seats, his garbage bag full of belongings strewn about the car. He smelled so bad there was no one else in the train car. The cops were not called. Or if they were they didn’t show up at any of the stations we passed.
Sure it sucks, but involving the police in someone having their feet on the seat? Way to overreact.

"You're not the minority anymore."
Jesus fucking Christ.
This says so much. They think “minority” means a person who gets special treatment. That’s how fucking deluded they’ve become.

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.

So he was sitting improperly? They didn't say exactly why it was 'improper' to begin with?
He did it while black. That's clearly an arrestable offense.

Conveniently, the officer body cam footage is “not available”. Absolutely insane they are making it sound like it’s his fault the train is delayed.
I don't like the headline. He has a name, you know, and it's Alex O'keefe.
The headline makes it sound like he did something wrong too. Instead he was harassed because of a Karen

Immediately pointed to me and told me to correct how I was sitting.

I mean what the actual fuck?!? If this is only half as egregious as this is being portrayed I wish I had been there. I would have told that old white Karen to shut the fuck up. And I don’t even know who this dude is. And I’m an old white dude.
Us old white dudes have a responsibility to get involved in these events.

I’m sick of the police getting involved and actually acting when no explicit law has been violated. If a law isn’t violated, they should never ever put their hands on a citizen in any way. Detaining someone without actually arresting them should result in immediate firing of the police. If you can’t press charges, you shouldn’t act.

"You're not the minority anymore."
It's a code for "you're in Trump America, now."

Luckily he is American. If he was a legal migrant having been booked would be considered a visa offense and he could be sent to a concentration camp.

Hope he finds that woman, conductor and police chief and sues their ass (like any good it will do, but at least the internet can make a public example of her).
