    People who eat on public transit are vile people.

    That said, lmao at detaining him. Just tell him to put it away or throw it away.

    Fun fact: there is a food truck market at that station.

    Cop is so brave, walking alone into that den of eaters.

    why? Eating a sandwich in public doesn’t seem like a big deal.

    He wasnt even on the train. Is it against their rules to eat while waiting on a train?

    Because no one wants to hear you eat, watching spill food all over common areas , leave trash on the train, have you gross greasy sandwich fingers touch everything

    IGAF if someone is eating a sandwich in public walking down the street or whatever. But in a confined train car or platform yuck.

    Platform not nearly as bad as a train car. And especially if it’s not crowded. But still no thank you please.

    Adjective. pedantic (comparative more pedantic, superlative most pedantic) Like a pedant, overly concerned with formal rules and trivial points of learning. Being showy of one's knowledge, often in a boring manner. Being finicky or fastidious, especially with language.

    A dining car, like a bar or restaurant comes w the expectation that people will be eating there. That’s not bothersome.

    So it's not hearing them eat, watching them spill food all over common areas , leaving trash at the table, and having gross greasy sandwich fingers touch everything. Its bc you dont expect it there.

    Got it.

    It's all very stupid. Inform the guy it's a violation to eat in the platform and show him where it's posted. If he doesn't comply then give him a citation. That cop was being a douche for the sake of being a douche, plain and simple.

    it’s appropriate to eat at a bar or restaurant or dining car. It’s inconsiderate to eat on small enclose public transit car or bus when it’s against the rules for all the reasons I listed above.

    You’re trying really hard here double. Hopefully you can get that.

    No. Have I spent a week in NYC and rode it daily? Yes. Did some people eat? Sure. Did I care? No. Why? Bc it doesnt bother me.

    Now I have a question for you. Explain why it bothers you for someone to eat across from you on a train but you're ok with them eating elbow to elbow with you at a bar.

    Eating a “meal” which I assume would be the greasy Truman is complaining about yeah maybe that would be weird. Eating a sandwich (breakfast sandwich which the guy in the video seems to be doing) not a big deal. It’s wrapped it’s not going to get over everything. I’ve never seen anyone eat anything other than sandwich type things that are easy to eat on the go.

    My reason for calling Truman weird is because he acts like people are eating whole meals on the train/bus/subway.

    Not that we need to belabor the point any more but people eat more than sandwiches on the train all the time. Breakfast/ burrito bowls, salads, wings, burgers ect


    Sandwich is still inconsiderate to the others that are following the rules imo, albeit not as gross as the other stuff. If that makes me weird , so be it.

    This line is what pisses me off. At that moment, he wasnt an officer. He was a civilian going 94 mph and hit another car, causing a death. It's ridiculous that he's not being charged with anything. Not even a speeding ticket. This is another example of cops being above the law, even when off duty.

    “You never want any officer traveling 94 miles an hour,” he said. “It’s just stupid. It’s dangerous. But when we looked at the law and the facts and the circumstances, we just thought that this was the only reasonable decision to make.”

    Sheriff's deputy tackles a 15-year old quadruple amputee and screams in his face

    Well, these are the times we live in: we have to pause for a moment to be thankful that nobody was killed in this latest instance of police violence.

    Still, that’s small comfort in this appalling incident. Staff at a group home for teenagers in Tucson, Arizona, called 911 after one young person knocked over a trash can and began yelling. I’m still trying to figure out why staff couldn’t handle the situation themselves: the boy in question is a quadruple amputee, which I think would dramatically limit his ability to endanger anyone.

    Anyway, when sheriff’s deputies arrived, one of them apparently thought that a 15-year old without arms or legs posed such an imminent threat that he needed to be bodily assaulted and pinned to the floor. Then, to ensure that the quadruple amputee would “respect his authoritah” he proceeded to yell and scream in his face, because of course that’s what anyone would normally do with a severely disabled person who didn’t obsequiously comply with one’s every wish, right?


    Of course, this scene wouldn’t be complete without some gratuitous power-tripping against bystanders as well. Apparently, Tucson deputies are under the assumption that they have the final word on the law and the Constitution so they can ignore court rulings upholding the right of citizens to film police activities. That explains why they handcuffed another teen who was filming the incident, without interfering, and gratuitously slammed his head against the wall after he was already cuffed … and then arrested both boys for disorderly conduct.

    My guess is that racism was a part of this, as the boy is black. But, it’s just a guess at this point. Has the deputy assaulted others, not black, in the past? Is his rage and contempt set off more by the boy’s disability than his skin color? Does he just loathe troubled teens and see them as threats? Or at the bottom of it all is it basic racism? Hopefully his motivations will become clear as this is investigated.

    This happened a couple of months ago but video of the incident has just surfaced. State prosecutors have dropped charges against both of the boys at the urging of the public defender’s office.

    The sheriff’s department has opened an internal investigation and local media is likely to keep worrying them about it with the focused intent of a dog gnawing on a particularly juicy bone — it’s an awful story which also means it’s a great story for journalists to keep front and center until there is some resolution.

    Let’s hope that resolution is swift and commensurate. Deputy Wannabe-Rambo should lose his job and lose any protection against a civil suit for abuse under color of authority, at the least. Both of the boys should get a big settlement from the county, as well.

    I’m not holding my breath. Are you?

    Was the car he was driving originally reported stolen? I thought it was an entirely different car. If it was reported stolen by him it’s even dumber for him not to have stopped. If that is the case I’d need to know more before I assume it’s all on bad cops.
