The officer responds:"I just explained that you are detained. Did I not? You are detained and you're not free to go."
During the video, Foster curses at the officer, tells him to let his bag go and says he will not provide his name because he says he has done nothing wrong. "You're a f---in' weirdo," Foster says at one point in the video and later calls the officer racial and homophobic slurs.
This is the most ridiculous thing I have seen, ever in communist country this not going to happen, lol
How many times is NBCNews going to retweet this? Has to be nearly 100 times so far.
You've posted this more than the epstiencoverup
TheLargerIssue ChildAbuse MentalHealth Hello. Listening to the interaction btw BART PO & Steve Foster, does anyone doubt Mr. Foster was raised to HATE! The late PROBLACK minded Ms. Korryn Gaines - Imparting HATE to her young son & police. Peace.
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of this, when has it become illegal to have sandwiches in public?
Hey AntiFashGordon this guy looks sooo familiar..hes a goon or been involved in more than this incident..
Public heroin is ok though
Typical liberal turns minor situation into a major problem because he does want to follow the rules everyone else follows. Libs think laws and rules don’t apply them.
SF crazy law makers - ok to poop and pee in public but not eat sandwich.
That's because most California cops are assholes.
FIRE THE OFFICER NO SIGNS POSTED
Keep voting for big government CA!👍
'Currently, passengers are allowed to carry food onto a BART train, but they can't eat it while on board. Eating is permitted in some areas of the stations, but never in the areas that require payment to enter.' as of 2011 or so.
You have to be joking right?
Yeah, don't forget the part about non-compliance, that's kind of important. Nonetheless, it's a stupid stop but, which minor laws do they want enforced, sandwiches over crap? There's got to be a ton of confusion on the PD side.
Um... you can shoot up, pitch a tent, even take crap in the streets. But... don't you dare eat a sandwich on this train platform . Sorry California... you keep voting for the people making the stupid rules. Stop voting for them if you tired of it.
Quick get the Patty wagon
wtf
PS: Sometging is seriously WRONG with some Bus Drivers around here. Seriously. Maybe they’re mad the Car Tab Legislation of Tim Eyman HELD!!😹❤️
Whaaaattt?!? But they can PEE in the Streets in SanFran? 🙄💩
This is how the police earn the name pig.
Total abuse of power
eating a sandwich is a crime in that country have mercy on a hungry please dont kill them hahaha
So now it has come to this. It is illegal to eat a sandwich. OMG. The US is becoming so intolerant. I thought we were 'the home of the brave and the land of the FREE'! Boy, I guess I am wrong.
Is eating against the law in this incident, or is it not? The officer doesn't make the laws. The law needs to be scrutinized, not the enforcement officer. No matter how insignificant, we have to obey the laws. Since when do we decide which laws we obey and which ones we don't?
Fasism is slso petty!
237th time you’ve tweeted this
I know its not the point of the video, but why is it illegal to eat on a train station platform in California? Talk about government over stepping.
Why are we criminalizing human nature which is a necessity to living? I think as a society, we have lost respect for our neighbors.
Lawsuit
Black gentleman detained for eating a sandwich. It’s racial profiling, by a cop who only holds jurisdicstion for a transit system. Glad you’re not out in the public. You probably would have killed him for eating. Suspend him without pay. Mandatory train, or immediate firing.
Bernie’s plan would have had the sandwich confiscated and shared with all the other waiting passengers!!!
again this happened yesterday too
But you can shit on the streets in SF
They didn't just detain him. They handcuffed him and moved him to a holding room.
The guy was being disrespectful.
Unbelievable 😡😡😡😡😡
DEMOCRATIC California
Apparently there’s no other crimes happening in San Francisco that they had to stop people for eating sandwich. 🤨🤨🤨 that police need to be fired .
Its california, what do you expect?
NBC with the headlines society critically needs.
I do not believe the man should have received a ticket. That being said he used his skin color to escalate the problem. The cop, who is an imbecile, can't write a ticket unless he knows your name. These fools in California create these laws.
? ? ?
😡😡😡
If u read this NBC article. He was asked nicely once. He did not comply. Then his girlfriend cursed and used racial slurs towards the police. Then they detained him and only wrote him a citation. OF COURSE, the video does not show the very beginning that led to this! Follow rules
It's against the law in California to eat in front of starving homeless people.
Waste of funds.....waste of time.... Judgement and wisdom are very rare these days
And Eric CIArmella is the leaker plus Epstain didn't kill himself.
Regardless of whether the cop should’ve let the issue slide, the use of homophobic slurs by the detainee shows how reckless and arrogant he was as well.
Why does he need to see an ID to inform someone about the rules?
So now it’s unlawful to eat a sandwich? What a waste of taxpayers money!
Thank god he didn't have a straw. He'd be dead by now. Liberal Lunatic California for you. Vote out ALL Regressive Left traitors already. Theyre the problem
Looks like the cop is the one who’s been eating too many sandwiches. Why didn’t the guy just say he’s an illegal? The matter would have been dropped.
Lemmings reading planted headline with no reference to facts jump to conclusions. 2019 the year of the moron
Could we be witnessing a communist state in the union?
This what taxpayers pay for? Of all the dangerous and threatening issues, eating an sandwich is what LE is addressing?
Insane.
The problem isn’t the cop. He is mostly the messenger enforcing laws made by others, Legislators or BART. California has a reputation of frivolous rules.
Democrats.....
Why do y’all have laws, that prohibit ppl from eating in the public... I am baffled on this law... makes no sense to me...
How about all the people on California streets shooting up drugs and throwing their needles on the ground? Arrest them much? California had become a 3rd world country, under Democrats.
There is a rule about eating. This guy decided he didn’t like the rule. Cop says stop. He continues. Cop says now you get a ticket. PUBLIC OUTRAGE ENSUES. Same shit everytime: if you stop US from breaking the law it’s racist.
Another case of doing everything possible to get arrested so the police can be sued. If he had just given his Id everything would have been fine. A mandatory 6 month sentence for being stupid would stop this.
California Now who has run California for decades
Let the guy fucking eat !
No eating a sandwich on the BART platform because they are worried about cleanliness but used needles on the street and the homeless taking a crap In front of my hotel is all fine. California is a disgrace and literally a toilet!
America is the most policed country in the world, fart in the wrong place & you end up in court
Can we fire this cop yet?
Key point here...California is F’ed up.
Wow commiefornia nazi goose stepping Bart police arrested man for eating sandwich news at eleven more proof this state has gone to the dogs
The police is right. If you dont want to implement the law then repeal it. Blame your stupid politicians.
This is pathetic journalism. It obvious to anyone with any sort of legal training or experience that this escalated because this man refused to identify himself then resisted arrest. These factors, rather than the sandwich, caused this outcome.
Well with all due respect, he's one of the 'entitled' fellas. Fucking millennials.
'Excuse me sir, you can't eat that here. It is against the law.' 'You telling me I can't eat cos I is black? Racist! I'm now going to play this up for the camera.' 'Okay sir, I will arrest you if you persist.
Officially has nothing better to do. SFBART OkBoomer
多么自由民主的国家啊
Damn blue klux klan and their damn cop apologists 🤷🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
I am shock normal people still leave in that country....🙄
BART cops are ONLY doing their job, it sucks society has to have rules, and my guess the dude was being dickish, the Signs are all over BTW
Oh look a story because of the race of the 'victim'. I'm shocked.
Land of the free, unless you want to eat?
BARTING while Black BLM ThisIsWhyWeKneel
Law enforcement enforced the law. Breaking news
Say what?
But, it’s ok to shoot heroin wherever you like!
Nothing more dangerous than a person of color, armed with ham & Swiss on rye.
'When tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty' Keep that in mind redcoats, your time is coming!
Hm. … So slow day, then?
WHAT IS THE LAW
You don’t understand how rules work do you
Why is it so hard for some people to simply follow the rules?
WTF
WWWHHHAAATTT!!!
I think of my friends as family love them all
Sandwich patrol officer. Hopefully the officer does the right thing now.
Maybe California shouldn’t pass such stupid laws?
Sorry but the guy eating the sandwich was disrespectful to the officer. The officer did not make the law but must enforce it. If you don’t like the law then confront the Democrat lawmaker who passed it & call him a weirdo. Then tell him to pass more laws against public pooping.
He had every right to challenge this officer Especiallly when asked to provide signage stating it's a criminal act to eat on the platform & he couldn't. Later in the video Suddenly it goes from illegal use of sandwich to You fit the description of... Sorry way Over stepping cop
Lock cop up. He has to be crazy
Really. Uhhhh when does this stop. One luv💋
SIGNS POSTED SAY “NO FOOD OR DRINK”
'That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government'
This is nuts 😡.
😖
Liberal government enacts stupid law dictating where citizens can and cannot eat. A police officer who risks his safety every day to enforce said law attempts to take action when someone violates said law. Libs lose their minds. Liberal logic, ladies and gentlemen
Can't eat on the platform or the train. What is hard about that? Can't ride without a ticket either.
Put that transit officer on the Chicago 'L' immediately!!!!! Chicago needs him!!!!!
We can't go anywhere without harassment from some loser.
Brooo wtfff
Keep voting Democrat.
But was it roast beef with MAYO?! Who the hell would do that?
EatingASandwichOnATrainPlatformWhileBlackInAmerica
Lemme understand.. weed is legal in CA but a sandwich isn't There's logic for ya
So when you aren't making fun of Trump...this is the garbage you put out? No wonder MSM is failing so hard.
He doesn’t red to obey the rules. Everyone else does but not him
SandwichFelon ? Lock him up and throw away the key.
Your party did this, NBC.
Gotta love California. I would rather live in North Dakota!!
Fire the cop? Fire the politicians who passed such a dumb policy into law! Every new law passed carries with it the lethal force of the police!
Unbelievable. How Heavy-Handed are some of these Cops? Give the Good Cops a Bad name.
- signs are posted you cant eat in that area - the officer walked by and told him to please not eat in the area - the man did not comply with the lawful order to not eat in an area where signs are clearly posted you arent allowed to eat there - consequnces occured.
What the hell is going on
Yup well maybe he shouldn’t BRAKE THE LAW
NBC “News” LOL
It was because he refused to give his name and id. Not as good of a story, is it
It wasn't the sandwich that got him in trouble, his attitude !!! If i was told that eating is prohibited in the platform i will stop and apologize.
You only shit in the streets out there...
Well, what kind of sandwich was it?
Lol they are letting Junkies shoot up and shit in the street and they handcuff this guy? California is becoming a dangerous place !
You all sure are running this one into the ground
Wait. What?!! Oh yeah. That was a real issue. Eating a breakfast sandwich. So stop selling good in the area you board trains. How about that 😤
Thank God for this hard hitting report.
I hardly ever side with what I see cops do but in this case I have to agree it is a crime & for a very good reason. As for people who say it's no big deal they should volunteer to clean up after these people & when we get enough of you to volunteer we can legalize it, deal?
How is eating worthy of a citation?
He was breaking the law lol
What the actual Fuck?
He was guilty of breaking a stupid liberal law, he should have just complied
Enjoy. That’s the big daddy government they’re so fond of in California
Seriously you can’t eat on the platform WTF
So what?
Really, stop this disgusting behavior now.
NBC scoops all the competition!
I would have just gave up the sandwich. Everybody knows what’s up. And moved on. Some crap ain’t worth it.
🙄 oh my!
We need criminal justice reform badly.
He should have shot up needle drugs and defecated on the platform since those are not prosecuted in CA, and saved the sandwich for later.
He needs to WalkAway
Democrats caused that with their insanity. WakeUpAmerica StopTheInsanity EndTheCorruption DumpTheDems WalkAway AmericaFirst CountryOverParty
Oh a racist cop, never thought I'd see that one
'I'm citing you for an illegal corned beef on rye, no mayo'
Thank god he didn't have a straw
Carmelbaptiste Unbelievable!!! 😡😡😡
Disgusting
Eating is not allowed.
Poor dude was just trying to get some food on his way to work! It’s not like he pulled out a pick nick basket and threw down a blanket with a bottle of wine or something! What’s next? Is chewing gum considered illegal food?
Good to see Kamala Harris' legacy still being honored while she's on the campaign trail.
This is ridiculous. Don't the cops have more important things to do. What happened to common sense?
He was detained and handcuffed because he refused to cooperate with the officer. Had he cooperated he would have just gotten a ticket. I do agree its a stupid law, but it IS the law. Dont like it, dont live in Commifornia.
Seems Orwellian.
What the heck is going on here?🤔😢
unreal lmao
What wacky state has a “no eating in public” law?
So what's your point NPCnews? You report this shit but nothing on that AbC/Epstein fiasco. gtfoh
California: Has sandwich laws. Californians: Make everywhere like California.
Was it a Lil Jon?
To me, this is the most stupid police in the world ( Bird Brain). I guess the K9 police dog are smarter then him.
America WTF is wrong with our country letting these inhumane laws be made and passed? Ridiculously STUPID penal code! This is a basic human right. He wasn't hurting anyone or anything!
kuwazeee mmmfuuuumeeeee
Old news. There was already a mass protest of people eating on the platform, including the BART Director. I just want to know that BART allows eating, has adequate trash cans and has apologized to this guy. (Littering which is different than eating should still be punished.)
This but not Epstein. What a joke
He broke the law. Thank God he wasn't drinking from a plastic straw too!
Must've been roast beef, California wasn't joking about that whole cow thing.
Because it’s against the law. You must have forgot to include that part eh NBC? Now, it’s a stupid law, but a law nonetheless. If you don’t like it, petition to have the law changed.
Crazy fool !
Absolutely insane, yet the people living on the street being as nasty as they can be are left to be. Give that man his sandwich and leave him alone.
SF is is a Fing disgrace.
Ppl are scared , sure it wasn’t sandwich that got officers attention
Go for people who smoke in public too 🤣😆😇
😂🤣😂🤣 who passed this law? Who elected the morons that did? 🤔
Pretty stupid law there in California, huh?
Another leftist utopia...
This is what America is coming to
You are not allowed to eat or drink there, he shouldn't have been doing it. Also this is not news.
Eating a sandwich while black - call it what it is
So the cop was originally just going to give him a citation but he refused to give him his ID. I doubt the cop took pleasure in this interaction and probably wished it never happened.
SF is weird and uninviting.
Such a heinous crime that you’re committing here. Shame on you people dare to have food when third world country is starving. Gonna arrest you! 😰
Who passed the law that made it illegal? Stop blaming police officers for enforcing dumbass laws passed by leftist politicians.
At least he wasn't charged with a FELONY for popping a FUCKING BALLOON!!!!
No one cares, cop haters
Don't blame the cop, he was doing his job. Blame the liberal politicians who pass stupid laws.
Rastaman don’t work for no Poh Leez because there are some laws rastaman just can never enforce—like stopping a man from eating when he’s hungry—for example. It takes a zombie cop to help enforce that kind of moronic and unjust law. And to obey it is against the law of nature.
Imagine living in a place where it's ok to poop on a public sidewalk but not ok to eat while you walk to work.
Thankfully the Sandwich Menace has been brought to justice.
Cops citing someone for breaking a stupid law, national news. Epstein.. ahh not a big enough deal
Chewing food is crime in some parts of America.
So dem politicians make laws and then attack the cops for enforcing those laws. You'd have to be stupid to be a cop in a dem run city/state.
The cop detains the man, runs his background, clean comes up, so the cop gives him a ticket 4eating, there better be a law that states, No Eating in this area, otherwise that idiot cop just got another lawsuit added too the tally of lawsuits against the police department.
What’s going on with our world? There must be more to this story... I’m hoping, otherwise this is just crazy
Also. Said passenger hurled racial and homophobic slurs at the cop, which likely contributed to his being treated like a POS
What happens when you advocate for large govt in commie-fornia
Some pretty stupid laws California has. Can’t eat, but if you have to take a crap go right ahead.
Disgusting
Thank Democrats for the retarded laws.
Anything to keep from reporting on Epstein!
What percentage of people who commit crimes on BART are black or brown?
I don't beleive it fakenews Stop hiding rapists and pedofiles
Is that officer nuts or Wath?
Wait ! Whattttttt!!!
To Protect And Swerve.
In the Bay Area, eating in the street is unacceptable but shi**ing on the sidewalk is no problem.
That’s the best social justice outrage headline your interns can come up with tonight? The people of Hong Kong are laughing.
Hard breaking news right here
Is that the best social justice outage story your interns could come up with tonight?
He wasn't good enough to make the regular police force so now he has to take out his authoritarian urges on sandwich eaters who are waiting for trains.
California! Getting arrested for eating a sandwich, but letting illegal aliens, committing serious crimes, go free. Arrested for eating a sandwich, but you can knowingly give someone HIV. Arrested for eating a sandwich, but you can shoot up in public. Pathetic!
Only in CA .
Maybe it's the law... But that doesn't make it less stupid!!! WTF!! Some cities have soke idiotic laws that defy common sense
I’m reserving judgement until I find out what type of sandwich it was.
So SF is cool with people defecating in the street and people shooting up, but they will draw the line at a working man eating a breakfast Sammie waiting for the train? Geez. SF. Get it together. Your racist ways are showing.
Why's he grabbing at his bag then? And come on, a simply reminder about such an obscure rule would have sufficed.
That's too bad ... his reaction was awful ... they could have charged him with a few items ...
And the police wonder why they aren’t liked
Eating in public is bad manners.
ridiculous law
Only in California where you can crap the street, inject heroin, amongst other things. But no eating for you son. What a toilet of a state government. ungovernment
WTH
Dumb laws and regs beget dumb arrests.
Why can’t you eat a sandwich?
Why is it that all your duds look a very clean cut I never see any disturbances like you do
I don’t care about the bart rules if the president can comit crimes and openly lie & go unpunished then that man can eat a sandwich on the Bart platform! If we all act like trump we should be able to push a policeman into an oncoming train and suffer no consequences?
PRINT THE WHOLE STORY: The sandwich was pastrami with American cheese and ketchup...justifying the detention.
Ridiculous!!!
Crazy laws from crazy libs.
RealDonaldTrump So, is it now illegal to eat food in public in the State of California?
How many Others has this man Abused Humiliated Insulted TRAINYOURPEOPLE
SORRY ..DIDN'T KNOW I HAD A CODE FOR MY PENAL
Land of the free
Another BLUE... TO FIRE
Wouldn't have been handcuffs or even a discussion if he were illegal or shooting heroin.
So lemme get this straight...dude gets arrested for eating a Sammy but San Fran ignores people who broke federal immigration laws.
What enters the Mind to Ignore Common Sense to Embrace Ugliness, Plain old Stupidness..This Person should NOT Work with the Public
FOOD FIGHT TOMORROW!!!
He is a democrat
Really, eating a sandwich? Pretty sure CA has bigger problems
From the same state that banned straws and 'dirt dust'.
systemic racism
Sounds like someone needed to make a quota of arrests
Imagine my surprise when this turned to NOT be the work of Onion staffers.
California🙄 law is violated ID requested for a citation Offender says no What next? Cop says okay and walks away? What good are any laws in that case? Detain?
This is not only disgusting...But needs to be investigated at the highest level. This officer was supposed to be looking for a drunk person. But instead thought harassment of someone eating a sandwich was more pressing..
The ignorance is real.. They wonder why black people feel the way they do
imagine he is black
Oh so the officer was the calm & professional one after provoking an 🤬 reaction from a member of the public? Telling him not to eat isn't 'finish it but the rule is no food' a professional response. Against the law to eat food that THEY sell? Seriously 🤔 Humans eat 🤷♀️
A BLACK passenger. I like to see the stats on how many white people have been stopped or arrested for eating a f*cking sandwich.
Messed up.
Imagine being this small.
trash fucking law.
Literal food police. Maybe BART should revise it’s anagram name of BRAT, or is this a sausage vs. sandwich thing?
You’re not allowed to eat in the bathroom!!
? Not even riding. In a public view. Its not liquor...that cop is wacked
Or........he refused to give his ID to a police officer. The news loves seeing people hate the police huh?
Has he lost his badge yet ? He should.
‘It’s about cleanliness’... please.. how’s that poop problem going? It’s so bad there’s an app to track shit. So go arrest all the ppl shitting on the streets if you’re so concerned about ‘cleanliness’
Well, I’m positive you won’t have any more problems with people eating on that platform.
how many cups of coffee has this police officer walked around with over the years in this very area, let me guess, its different when he does it.
Why does he have his hand on him or his backpack. Man - no one better out their hands on me or my bag.
Interesting
It’s the law for some reason but us this really what we want the role of government to be? Sandwich and straw policing vs maintaining a safe and clean community? Priorities matter.
I hear the officer has a shift later at the public pool to enforce the no running rule.
Two things: blame the liberals politicians who enacted the stupid laws. Reality - complaints to city hall about rats and roaches on BART; city hall tells police to enforce their ban on eating on the platform; police enforce ban; police are criticized.
Well if he would of followed the law, it wouldn't of been an issue.
It sounds like this is the law, but wow, it’s so interesting which laws San Francisco chooses to enforce and which ones it chooses not to enforce.
ftp 🖕🖕🖕
Progressives destroy everything they touch once they get power.
MattLauer
Whatttttttt 🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫
NBC you and your conspiracy theories about the Trump's administration created this problem
This is onsane
I wonder how much human waste the man had to wade through to get to the train platform, or how many used needles he had to step over, or how much garbage he had to avoid on the sidewalks. Thankfully, the sandwich police are on the job!
To correct the misleading title, it's illegal to eat on the platform. He was told once to stop. When cop came back, the idiot kept eating. At that point became verbally combative, used homophobic and racial insults towards the officer and talked himself into arrest. He's an idiot
If it was a donut he would have given him a warning and confiscated it for the protection of the public.
Hmmm too harsh a treatment metted on the gentleman
Only In MAGA KAG Country This Happens!
Isn't big government with laws for everything grand?
Someone had their authority challenged and got a little fussy.
Call Pelosi and Feinstein.
This would have never happened if the sandwich had a gun
The land of the free ...
Was he also selling churros?
cops are pointless
This is insane.
Cali is craaazy
1. That law is stupid. 2. He technically broke that stupid law. 3. He ignored the verbal warning about breaking the stupid law. 4. He verbally abused the officer who was only going to write a citation for breaking that stupid law. 5. Cops did nothing wrong.
Lock policeman up. A jerk
On his first pass, the officer asked him to not eat in the restricted area. Officer comes back, he’s still eating, calls the officer names...he gets a ticket. Period. Anyone who thinks the officer was wrong, really needs a reality check.
Profiling and making shit up. Fcking blue line!!!!
Try arresting any NYC subway riders & there will be a major uproar, riot, and lawsuits! This man didn't do anything wrong! That officer is abusing his civil servant powers by terrorizing, threatening & carrying out an illegal practice within the industry! He needs to be fired!
Share & like& subscribe o==[]:::::::::::::::: 🌹🐈🌹🌹🐈🌹
In California you can urinate and defecate on city street you can shoot up drugs and it is not a problem. Illegals immigrants are given sanctuary but eating a sandwich on a train platform is a crime. Bless those liberal's heart.
Stop breaking the law
But racism in America is dead. fake news. So sad. Hope that dude loses his job.
If his name is Foster why a fake name of Gluckman? He must be up to something
©- Oh, my god, what arrogance Trump has planted in the police?
What a joke! Cops have nothing better to do in California huh?
He needs to retrained in descalation tactics. The man probably trying to make it to class/work on time.
And has anyone looked into how many others have been cited with the same violation and what race they were?
This is really crazy
Not sure why NBC News is covering a misdemeanor sandwich eater. Nothing else going on in the world today?
Well why not? Manspreading is a citation now!
Thank the politicians for this crap
The cop is smug and handles the situation totally inappropriately. Also .... over a SANDWICH?!?!?!?!?
There are homeless living amongst drug syringes and human waste but by all means cite someone for eating before boarding a train. California has hella problems but egg salad isn’t one of them!!
San Francisco
But people can shit in the streets. Makes perfect sense to me. Unreal!!!!
Yay!.... California.
Democratic policies at work? Meanwhile ignore the homeless and sidewalk feces
Blame the Legislature not the cop for doing his job.
But if he were mainlining heroine and dropping a duece on the sidewalk, he woukd have been ok!
The government actually said this the law there to ensure 'cleanliness'. Reminder: It is perfectly legal to take a shit on a city sidewalk in California.
Wouldn't have happened if the guy was white.
This is Protect and serve
These cops should be fired.
What a waste of tax payers money
How about the unwashed homeless that spend all day sleeping on the trains?
How is communism working out for you. It’s just beginning in that shit hole state.
Safer than chasing real criminals.
He wasn’t detained for eating the sandwich, he was detained because he refused to follow orders from the officer and fought with him. It’s really not that hard to understand.
R these new Rules posted? If so, When?🙏🇺🇸
Publish the names of all the BART board members. This is in them.
Well if the sign says no food/drink on train what do u expect. .
WAIT!! I'm Totally wrong!;; He's a transit cop in Cal.!!! hummm... same thing me thinks
This country is so screwed up. We really need to step back evaluate what’s going on. I hope that transit cop loses his job for stupidity.
Yes, this officer is not one of Portland's finest. Gotta be a throw-a-way from either Chicago or New York City P.D's. No way he's Oregon born and bred.
Good work Democrats.
Not the cop's fault Cali passes ridiculous laws. Its his job to enforce them.
Racism, pure and simple.
Let me add to this story... 1. Eating is not allowed on public transit. 2. He was combative when told to comply with the rule.
California transit cop harassed, threatens arrest of a man for eating a sandwich. Fixed
He’s got nothing better to do. In the meantime somebody probably fucking his wife at home
I want to know more about this whole situation. So many questions I’d like to get answered.
USA you are officially broken.
Police in America = Gestapo in germany
Let me guess. Cops are bad racists. Do you ever get tired of peddling this race baiting bullshit? Don't you have some conspiracy theries to go peddle?
It’s called harrasment. Last I heard, there was a law against it.
It is 💯 the sandwich guys fault. Lear the rules and be decent
A reality of the largest Nanny state. The Kalifonication Nation gets more ridiculous. I don’t want that for whats left of the rest of my nation.
This is beyond ridiculous but the officer is only following the laws the California government officials made. I’m sure he didn’t want to do this but someone called the police because they saw this man eating a sandwich.
Leave this guy alone, cop should be fired! Go do something productive, this looks like a real waste of money!!
if there is a licensed shop by the platform that sells food isn't that entrapment?
doesn't the transit agency police person have something more significant to do!!!!!!! SFBART
Dems made the law
What was in the sandwich?
Just bad policing- should be suspended for a day .
He asked for that! Lol
California has larger problems than hassling someone trying to eat their breakfast while waiting for a train. You cannot make this shit up...
When you have a state run by the Democrats you get dumb laws about where you can eat. Legislating Americans to death is the Dems way!
Guess they dont like sandwhiches in the bay area.
whyfund Welcome to Trump America.... Another officer who doesn't use his judgment...
jacobiteabroad Enforcing inedia in public transportation...
Ah but it's ok to shit on the platform but not eat a sandwich there. I guess it's like the saying goes.....don't eat where you shit.
But needles and shit in the street there is fine. California logic. 🙄
WTF?
Change the law , dumb lawmakers
Nice place to live. At least they are not a racist cops as usual.
California.....a sanctuary for drug addicts and illegal immigrants, but don’t you dare eat a sandwich on the train platform. 😆
Going to work for eating a sandwich, This is abuse of Power. ABC CBSNews CNN MSNBC SenateDems HouseDemocrats SenateGOP HouseGOP and look who he did it to.
The sad reality, eating while black !!!
When will people finally wake up and realize that liberalism = fascism
Pass stupid laws, then arrest people when they break stupid laws. That's you California.
Abuse of power! Ridiculous
Oh the victim hood strikes again.
Get a better job
Do the crime pay the Tim!!!!
Only in trump’s world!! Trump’s influence!
You have to understand that BART cops are persons who could not qualify for city and state positions. Their just one notch over Mall security.
Eh, today's cop joke. What's next?
Crazy leftwing laws in California
Ah San Francisco...a paradise on Earth where one can crap and piss in the street with no problems, but can be arrested for eating a sandwich! What a town!
Add it to the list of 'everyday things POC people can't do'.
Welcome to California. They voted for it.
What a fucking joke!
😅😅😅 Democrats insanity
This is an open and shut case. Officer is clearly wearing a body cam. Pull the footage to if others were eating. Then you can easily prove if the passenger was targeted. If he was, then fire the cop. This is a dumb law, but then change the law, not complain about enforcement.
Scary to think ppl w this mindset are carrying badges and guns.
Terrible, terrible. Just as terrible is when U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito ruled, when on a lower court, that it was OK for the Baltimore police to handcuff a young black girl who was caught eating potato chips on the subway.
'Drop the sandwich, citizen. These boots won't lick themselves.'
He still was acting like a fool and resisting arrest
The fact that BART responded & said not only was this not a citation, but violated penal code is reprehensible. No more eating in that state. The officer must have been mortified b/c as he held on to the dude's bag, he kept getting redder & redder.
What a joke
UnFreakinBelievable/For A Sandwich-
But if it was the president, he could get away with it, right? Because he has immunity & is above the law, right? So my question is who are the laws for? Why have laws to begin with? If the guy was of a different race (White), would he be cited? What are laws if not 4 everyone?
Statement from BART, which is missing from NBC's article:
What are you going to say? It's California, everything is crazy, backwards, upside down in California.
Eating in public is a crime nowadays.
