So it’s OK to be violent if you’re a petty criminal, as long as you’re being arrested? So, you can’t arrest people anymore?
You guys aren’t even trying to make sense…
The poster doesn’t even have any references. But, I’m fairly sure nobody is shooting anyone because they don’t have a ticket. Unless you have actual references, I’m calling BS. The people got shot for another reason. They may have been getting arrested at the time, but that doesn’t give them sovereignty over normal laws.
The reason this poster has no references, is because it is likely BS, and knows people like yourself will fall for it.
There is obviously much more to this story, if it is true at all.
So I’ll fill you in since you’re obviously out of the loop. The 4 people were shot in one incident. One guy skipped a fare, then refused to stop for police. He tried to get away. He had a knife. Cops tried to tase him, that didn’t work. Cops got scared. Guy tried to run away, cops shot him, two bystanders, and one of the cops.
Yes, they’re leaving out details to point out how ridiculous it is- but it is ridiculous. At no point was the guy enough of a threat to anyone to escalate to deadly force. They’re transit cops, they have radios- they don’t have to let him go, just take a second to tell the train crew to not leave the station, then wait him out.
I know what the person is trying to say.
But It’s a bad look for them, as it comes across as them trying to suggest that stealing is ok.
Not everyone skipping fares can’t afford it
Skipping a fare should not be punishable by death, I don’t care how wealthy the skipper is.
That’s not what happened here most likely. No references, no context
Chances are someone got aggressive or violent whilst being arrested due to ticket theft
There’s a reason there is no real info here
Nobody is going to go and shoot someone because they see them jump over a barrier. Something else happened
Assuming you are correct, being aggressive or violent whilst being arrested for a $3 crime should be punishable by death?
Wtf?

But what if billionare skips?
You’re right - the death penalty is absolutely deserved over $2.90 if they could afford it.
False equivalency
Neither are ok. And I’m not saying they are
In fact, Trumpians do this.
Trump will do 1000 shitty things. And he’ll get his followers to focus on 1 thing
We don’t even know the full context here.
Ok but now youre saying skipping the fare should be punished by death?
At a minimum.
Also bring poor, coloured, the wrong gender or any other reason.
They should just go back to cutting hands off for theft /s
Lol
That’s not what I said. False equivalency.
And there is no context here or anything. I doubt anyone got shot because of not paying for their ticket
They probably got aggressive or violent, and it just happened to be whilst they were being arrested.
