After reading 38 replies on this thread, I’m going to venture the opposite opinion: These people should not have been dancing on the subway platform.
The subways were built when the population of the city was lower and the number of people using the subways was smaller. The platforms are narrow, and at the worst of times dangerously crowded.
There is probably an ordinance against dancing on the platform—I’m not sure. If there weren’t, there would be dancers everywhere there is a musician playing music that you can dance to.
My guess is that these two people were typical liberal “we hate the cops” people. Taking out the camera was the biggest tipoff. I have had it up to here with these people (hand held over eyebrows).
There is nothing wrong with the NYPD outside of aberrant behavior of individual cops. They do a great job and are truly amazing. I can’t imagine living here if they didn’t do the job that they do. If we had cops who sided with the liberals, I think I would move somewhere else.
“Taking out the camera was the biggest tipoff.”
No, the thug reaction to the victim’s taking out his camera was the biggest tipoff. Cops who insist on the right to surveil everything we do have no business objecting to being photographed themselves. What might they be trying to hide?
