[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel safer that this chip-eater is off the streets.

Now if they could only put forth that effort to catch those pesky rapists...

Also, I'd pay good money to see one of these cops tell the guy I ride Metro with every morning to toss his Starbucks coffee and muffin.  This guy is a massive, massive ex-linebacker dude who always has his Venti NFSVL and muffin each morning.  Or better yet, tell any business person, regardless of color, to toss their morning coffee and breakfast.

IDGAF if it's the "law" or not.  I've been stuck on those trains too many times not to have an emergency bottle of water and food in my bag.  Also, I never think twice about eating or drinking on the train.  If a cop told me to throw my stuff away, I'd probably laugh in his face and get arrested.  Like for real?  How about you go look for the real criminals... the rapists, those attacking people for no reason, the thugs who hang out at the fare machines to grab money and run, etc.  Food crumbs on those POS trains is the least of their worries.  Did they even have one line that ran smoothly every morning last week or this week?

DC's new head guy seems great.  Now he needs to bring in some help from NYC and Chicago to teach these idiots how to run a mass transportation system.  First rule... don't buy trains with GD carpet!      [/quote]

[b]You are an idiot.  Read the article before you comment!!![/b] She was taken off to the side because SHE JUMPED THE TURNSTILE!!  Then they asked her to get rid of the food.  NO!  We need to see your student ID?  NO!  Not only did commit two crimes, she was cursing, resisting and not complying.  She had very right to get arrested.  Do you believe every teen should just be allowed to steal and wreak havoc.  Security and police should only look for rapists?  What if they stole your phone or purse?  Hmm, not a big enough crime, right?  [/quote]

Um, no.  I did read the article and she did not jump the turnstile.  She was standing on the paid side, which is where it becomes illegal to have food & drink.

And I did say that the police need to focus on the more important crimes like assault and robbery.  I've seen two separate attacks where tourists had their cash they were going to feed into the fare machines grabbed by people who then ran.  One time a police officer was standing right there and looked the other way!  Why?  Because he weighed about 250 pounds and there was no way in hell his fat a$$ was catching up to the guy running away with a wad of cash.  The other incident involved a homeless man who grabbed a woman's money, growled at her, and walked away.  A man alerted a metro employee who specifically said it was against policy for him to intervene in any incidents like that.  No one's cell was working so the lady asked him to call the police.  He said he would but that it meant she had to stand and wait and they were going to make that a low priority call because "it's just $20, lady."

But lord Jesus, you got a teen resisting arrest for eating chips and you get the cavalry there ASAP.   [/quote]

[b]You really like saying Jesus. [/b] I think that girl needs him more.  She was nasty, rude, and disobeyed everything that was asked of her.  Yet, here you are sticking up for her. She was arrested for unlawful ENTRY and yes, she went thru the turnstile with another person sharing one metro card.  That is why the police went up to her.  Her eating chips and lollipop was just one more infraction.  But she didn't care.  She didn't care at all.   Not when there is someone taping it and she can try and sue.  Why?  Because people like you who stick up for her.  She broke a law, broke a rule, disobeyed police orders, and refused to show ID.  She also made a scene and cursed like a sailor.  But yes, sure - stick up for her.  Just another sweet innocent girl in the wrong place at the wrong time with the terrible mean cops.   :roll: [/quote]
We are two different posters saying Jesus. [/quote]
