Waving Guns At Crowds For $2.75

“Call my mom,” he told someone on the train.
Seconds later, a group of New York police officers flooded the train and tackled the young man to the ground, cuffing and frisking him. The officers didn’t find the gun they were looking for, but they arrested Napier for fare evasion, charging him with theft of services for hopping over a turnstile.
The tense encounter was caught on film by another passenger on the 4 train, who posted the video on Twitter, where it has been viewed more than 3 million times since Friday evening.
“After that one policeman took his gun out, two or three more took them out,” Elad Nehorai, 35, who shared the video, told The Washington Post early Monday. “For a moment, they were kind of pointing guns at everyone who was in that vicinity.”
What price for violating all of the rules of gun safety in one encounter? If you’re someone normal like you or me, we go to prison for a very long time. If you’re with the NYPD, there is no price. It’s a payment of $2.75.

Considering how many times NYPD has gunned down innocent bystanders (and each other!) in mad fits of trigger-yanking, the takeaway fact here is that nobody left the scene in a body bag…

And see also how they push people with cameras back so they cannot document the corruption. FTP. I believe their day will come.

Just imagine the outcome of contagious fire on a packed subway car. As long as all the cops go home safe it’s OK.

I noticed that this didn’t happen on the 3 or 5 trains. They have police for everything in NYC. They have harbor po po, transit po po, regular po po, immigration po po, drug po po, gang po po, terror po po, language specific po po, muzzie/sharia po po, and shrimp sam’ich po po, that – that’s about it. It must be a virtual Utopia by now. Having guns waived at you, if you’re on one of the Negro trains, is a small price to pay for what must be a clean, quiet, and orderly society by now.

“ The New York Police Department said in a statement shared with The Post early Monday that a witness near Atlantic and Flatbush avenues in Brooklyn told officers that Napier had a gun around 4:40 p.m. Friday. ”
Basically the kid was swatted by someone who “thought” he had a gun or knew he did and had a beef with the kid.

I have to say that I’m getting really tired of reading about cops committing assault with a deadly weapon and getting away with it.
Taking the guns away from the cops is starting to sound reasonable and sensible.
