    He did tell the guy to stop eating. When the officer came back he was still doing it. Then the guy started a disturbance on the platform and acting like a jackass so the officer arrested him. I just don't understand the issue. The laws are in place so follow the law. It make no difference how silly you think it is.

    You should pick your battles....and maybe I'm being overly critical here, but eating something is hardly something to go full Rambo on. I don't give a **** what the law says.

    That said, there ain't much else out there they can arrest anyone for, so maybe he figured this was his one shot at glory.....you know, taking down the dude with a sausage biscuit. Way to go, man.

    Same could be said for the guy that didn’t listen. He probably should have picked his battles.

    The cop was probably assigned to work the trains. Doubt he had much say in it and would probably lose his job if he decided to go off to write parking tickets instead.

    They also leave their fully eaten and digested food everywhere. If they time it right they can leave it all in the same spot. Just requires then to re-engage tomorrow.




    Rim shot.

    5 seconds of video shows me what I need to know. Cop was enforcing the law and dipshit was being a dipshit.

    If you want to stop being roughed up by the police then quit breaking the law and quit resisting arrest. Pretty simple.

    Like they say, the time to fight an unjust law isn't when you get arrested for breaking it.

    I want to see all the videos where the cop says that's illegal and the other person says "My bad. I didn't know that. May I move or throw it away? I apologize."

    Oh wait, that doesn't get social media's panties in a wad so they don't get posted.

    These videos do really bring out the cop haters though.

    Guy is just hungry, damn. If he left it half eaten or left it on the floor kick his ass up around his ears.

    Don't argue with cops, completely pointless and they will always win even if they have to shoot you.

    Cops please try just a little harder to be just a little more human. I know they deal with a lot of assholes and have bosses that don't back them up. Dont most of us? Being practical or being a dick is within their discretion.

    People please be nice to cops they have a shit job too. They probably feel the same and don't want to bitch at you about your sandwich but they're just human and have bad days too.

    In a normal place and under normal circumstances, I'd tend to agree, even though it's petty and nitpicky. But this is hardly a normal place for reasons we all know and just makes it look completely idiotic.

    "I will not comply with any stupid gun laws I don't agree with!"

    vs.

    "Well the law's the law, and if the law says it's illegal to eat a sandwich, everybody should just comply with Officer Friendly's inane request."

    Disobeying the law has consequences. Sometimes they’re worth it.


    In this case, it was stupid.

    That's where you're wrong.....especially out there. Oftentimes has zero consequences for things far more major than this. Which again makes this look like the ultimate stupidity for cuffing a dude for taking a bite of a Sausage McMuffin or whatever the **** it was being sold only feet away.
