(16,565 posts)I'm always wary of videos like this because they never show the before and after. I've seen plenty on social media that claim to "prove" something, and when you watch the actual video, it doesn't give the whole story. Then you read the news later and it's a whole different story than what's in the video. But here...
But what in the hell could he have been doing to that woman??? I mean, I thought maybe he was slouched and blocking the aisle or something. But her seat is behind his and isn't even part of the same set of seats.
It's absurd that he isn't being told WHY he's being arrested and detained. That's the part that really bothers me. The police can just grab someone on a train, put them in handcuffs and take them off without an explanation? Every law enforcement office now thinks they can behave like ICE and get away with it?
