Because they are not following one set of laws now it seem like some Freepers want them to disregard more laws.
This cop was doing his job. Instead of pissing on him, we should be encouraging other cops and their boses to do their jobs for public good.
This creep was flouting the rules and goading the police and people here are taking his side because 'he was just some guy eating on his way to work.'
The rule, 'no eating in the station and on the trains', is there for a reason. Creeps like this use the stations and trains as trash cans, dropping their bags, boxes, and used napkins in the stations and on the trains, walking away, and expecting someone else to clean-up their mess.
The people supporting this guy have no idea of the low-lifes that abuse the system because they believe they can without consequences.
The same people supporting this creep are the same people who won't ride mass transit because of the trash, the rats, and the bums.
