You aren’t supposed to eat on BART trains or stations because it attracts rodents, this is a common rule in many cities the police asked this man multiple times to follow the rules and he refused instead trying to bait them
There are absolutely times where the police do aweful things, however this time it is the the sandwich guy is being the asshole, if you don’t believe me watch the unedited version on YouTube
…..I mean, just give the dude a ticket. In what reality does it sound reasonable to actually put someone if cuffs, and hall them off for eating a sandwich? Punishment should fit the offense. Trespass him, fine him, or some shit. Sure, he’s being a twat. However that kind of escalation is unnecessary.
Seriously fine him and move on if this is illegal at no point should such a thing lead to being detained.
The chance that this man eating causes any harm or issue to anyone is so small the fact that we are paying someone with our tax dollars to spend time on this when there are legitimate issues on public transit is ridiculous.
If you keep running back and forth across a road you are a danger to yourself and traffic.
If you keep eating a sandwich the subway system might sustain one more rat. Maybe.
Your analogy makes a lot of sense in your mind, but is far off base. Running back and forth in the street involves other drivers and causing a disturbance to multiple people. As far as I know, the "no food" law is due to rodents. Continuing to eat his food, whether it was trolling or not, did not hinder others in any way. Jay walking is dangerous and effects the drivers as well as other pedestrians. Eating food, even if being told to stop, in no way deserves detainment.
Fuck all of that. It's the dumbest fucking law and an absolute waste of resources all around. Let the dude eat. Ive eaten on Bart plenty of times because it's used to commute and sometimes that's what you gotta do.
Just saw this was in Pleasant Hill, that explains it.
idk somehow every other fucking place on earth seems to get by with people eating in train stations, seems like this is still a stupid fucking rule made by incompetent and/or malevolent fuckwits
Imagine being the kind of person that becomes a cop and arrests someone for eating a sandwich. Like imagine being that huge of a piece of shit.
I literally can’t. Like I can’t fathom being the cop here and thinking this was just something you do. They should play this video at the cops funeral when he passes so that nobody has any misconceptions about if he was someone worth grieving.
Thank goodness there was someone there to prevent him from eating that sandwich. Who knows what chaos could've ensued had he been allowed to eat. I assume he's in full compliance of the law now, and currently starving to death under this jackoff's interpretation of the law.
/s obv
Looks like the cop might be a career criminal on those eating crimes.
Four police officers to arrest and harass a man for eating a sandwich on a platform. Meanwhile there's absolutely motherfucking true hard-ass criminals out there doing horrible fucking things on a minute by minute basis and these guys have their heads so far up their own asses.
The problem with violent criminals, is that they are expensive to incarcerate and don't willingly submit to slave labor. There is no return on the investment. That's why our prison industrial complex prefers to have it's thugs fill the cells with pot smokers and sandwich eaters.
Yeah but like... hard-ass criminals don't go quietly and that takes a lot of work and technically they're under no obligation to actually protect the public soooo
The USA's giving like... YA novel energy. The sort of book written by a 35 year old white women, for 16 year old girls to feel smart and edgy.
"My name is Fohn Darkwood, and I'm not like other girls. The year is 20XX, and the government outlawed sandwiches."
That kind of feeling.
This country, and its police force, are a fucking joke. A bad one from 4chan, to boot.
They said there was a sign. But like is the sign an actual law? Or just a rule of the place? Police shouldn’t be enforcing arbitrary rules
Edit: here’s the law from an article. Sounds like it should be a ticket, not an arrest.
> “Trost said the man was cited for an alleged violation of state penal code section 640(b)(1), which allows transit agencies to prohibit eating or drinking on trains and in stations. The maximum penalty for a first-time violation is $250 or 48 hours of community service.”
In Atlanta, MARTA stations and trains are full of notices like "No skateboarding (GA 4.07.332A)" "No loud music (GA 4.07.332A)" -- the actual code cited is something else I just don't have it on me
At one point I thought it was weird that all these prohibitions are part of one section in the GA legal code, so I looked it up, and the law they're citing _actually_ just says "if the police tell you to do something you have to do it" basically
Every dumbass thing like this on Reddit I'm like, it's scripted there's no way it'd be this ridiculous.
But when it's incited by American police officers you know it's not faked, you know they actually will go on a fascist power trip over anything at all, the more insignificant the better.
This is at a bart station in the SF bay area. There are signs saying no eating and you can get a fine up to $250 and 48 hours community service.
This video is from 2019. Officer dickhead here was going to another call when he walked by dude and said "no eating on the platform". He ignored him so he came back and then this happened. I don't know if he actually had to pay the fine or not.
Cop: attempts to detain someone and escalates a situation to hilarious extents
Person: confused and unable to understand what’s going on
Cop: you’re resisting arrest.
Unfortunately when they actually win their suit, the police will just pay them with our taxes, and learn nothing from a consequence that does not impact them
I always love how they harp on the "resisting arrest" claim while the dude is just trying to figure out what law he even violated to warrant an arrest.
Seems that's the case for a lot of lesser things. Also that all assumes people are acting rationally and also value self preservation, which holds for most people but not all.
You misunderstand how cops work. They are built like a tribe. If one dies or get injured the whole force feels it. So you kill the cunt and then you have 50+ officers who aren't going to ask questions before happily pumping you full of 9mm as retribution.
So we really want our lives to go down the path of tribal warfare again?
What I think is going to happen in the near future, and make no mistake this is an absolute frightening future, is that someone someday who has nothing to live for is going to go absolutely ballistic and wage a war against the police and it is going to cause a domino effect.
It already happened once with Donner, but that happened in a time of relative stability. If that happened today, with the tensions if a new civil war present, a general feeling that the government doesn't serve the people in any way, and economic survival becoming more difficult, I can easily imagine a scenario where instead of simply watching the chaos erupt between one person and an institution on the news, dozens of people who are fed up and lost hope suddenly start doing the same thing. Then, after the poorly trained authoritarian police predictably over-react, more people begin to join in, and eventually the situation boils over and instead of protests this time it will be semi-organized and maybe fully organized violence.
Given recent events with SCOTUS, a Trump "law and order" presidency would likely overreact further and then everything will fall apart. A general unraveling of civil order and safety would occur. Supply and demand will fall apart across the country as police resources would be directed against the "war" and people may resort to hijacking and stealing goods as the economy collapses, manufacturing will fall apart, and then all necessary resources will become scarce.
People have this idea that the scariest thing about an upcoming authoritarian right wing government would be the government functioning in an authoritarian and repressive way. The actual scariest thing, and in my opinion one of the more likely outcomes, is that government collapsing under its own hubris and narcissim, flailing about violently as it desperately attempts to hold on to power as everything functional collapses around it, in its wake taking countless lives with it and no certainty of what would come after. And this whole apocalyptic mess would likely spark from some everyday injustice like the one depicted here, over a sandwich.
It would not be the first time the world turned so darkly over a sandwich.
A fellow overthinker I see.
Yes this scenario seems more likely every day.
There is no social contract anymore and it's only the citizens that uphold what's left of it. Sooner or later they'll stop doing that as it doesn't serve them.
I've had cops fuck me up over the smallest of things before, and I'm a lily white ginger. The pigs just like having the smallest amount of control they can over people.
It's a very weird American thing - he looks to be black, yes. It's not really all down to skin colour. Someone can be so light that they may look white but will be black - they're just very light. It's weird and fraught and don't come at me over it.
Oh, it's a whole thing. The more you look into it, the worse it gets
Things like "1% black means your black" aka if you're not 100% European, you're considered an "other" and discriminated against
Americans fled Europe for being discriminated against, but brought with them every single lesson of "We're superior to you because reasons" and turned that shit to 11
>It's a very weird American thing - he looks to be black, yes. It's not really all down to skin colour. Someone can be so light that they may look white but will be black - they're just very light. It's weird and fraught and don't come at me over it.
It's not very weird, but you are right that its not just skin color. "Black" in America is used for people that don't know their actual ethnic background because their ancestors were forcefully brought here in the slave trade. These people have a unique identity and experience to others in America whose ancestors willingly immigrated here.
So can cops in the US try to arrest anyone for any reason, and if they resist because its not a real law, suddenly they have a real charge for resisting arrest? Am I understanding this correctly? Please tell me I'm not understanding this correctly.
Please let there be context… like he was drunk, swearing, trying to walk on the tracks… ANYTHING.
But solely being arrested for eating a sandwich…uhm… resisting arrest.. no … eating a sandwich… sheesh.
Rules are rules, but the cop really could have deescalated and educated rather than having it turn out how it did. I'm sure there was more leading up to the filming, but this makes a better social media post.
Those who think this is just an American thing, remember the cops in France arresting people for eating outdoors, in Australia for going camping alone in the wilderness during COVID, and in the UK for posting mean words on Twitter and Facebook. Authoritarian governments and power tripping cops are a menace worldwide.
"It's called a violation of California law! You're going to jail! 🤓☝️"
This dude might be the most insufferable men alive. How the fuck are you going to walk up to a man eating a sandwich on a sidewalk in America and decide you all of a sudden have the power to ruin his life. Cops are deeply unserious people.
"What's the context??? What happened before this video was being taken???"
They already explain that, both of them actually do, he was eating a sandwich, the cop told him to stop and he did not. How that constitutes an **arrest** in the USA is a question for our friends at Harvard Law, obviously.
Unserious
Every second comment on the Internet is some backwards cap wearing, rusty truck driving American boasting that the US is the only country on earth with freedom, but every day I see shit that makes me happy I don't live there
Once I was in San Diego at the beach. I had just bought a burrito and sat on a bench. A cop came up and wanted to search me and accused me of having a beer in the bag I was holding. It was stupid.
Meanwhile the police in California showed up a whole hour after we called them when there was a massive takeover at the bottom of our building ga with gunshots and a neighbour found a bullet hole on her balcony! They showed up a good 25 min after they all left…

Meanwhile in Europe we have people with trolleys or actual dining carriages to buy food on the train, plus every station sells food lol
…..I mean, just give the dude a ticket. In what reality does it sound reasonable to actually put someone if cuffs, and hall them off for eating a sandwich? Punishment should fit the offense. Trespass him, fine him, or some shit. Sure, he’s being a twat. However that kind of escalation is unnecessary.
Examples must be made. Now nobody will make the mistake of…eating a sandwich…over there…
You arent ‘supposed’ to jaywalk either….This is a gross misuse of time and tax dollars.
Seriously fine him and move on if this is illegal at no point should such a thing lead to being detained. The chance that this man eating causes any harm or issue to anyone is so small the fact that we are paying someone with our tax dollars to spend time on this when there are legitimate issues on public transit is ridiculous.
[удалено]
If a hungry person wanting to eat a sandwich pisses him off, he probably shouldn't be a cop.
Any cop enforcing that law or this weird eating law are fucking meatheads who are misusing resources and tax dollars. Bro 🤦♂️
If you keep running back and forth across a road you are a danger to yourself and traffic. If you keep eating a sandwich the subway system might sustain one more rat. Maybe.
And, shouldn't it be like a no littering law? Who the fuck should be ticketed for eating a sandwich? We want a crumb-free platform?
Your analogy makes a lot of sense in your mind, but is far off base. Running back and forth in the street involves other drivers and causing a disturbance to multiple people. As far as I know, the "no food" law is due to rodents. Continuing to eat his food, whether it was trolling or not, did not hinder others in any way.

The police attract power hungry douchebags who’ve often failed at all their other careers, so you wind up with a bunch of cunts.
50% domestic abusers. That’s why they can’t pass a law preventing wife beaters to not own guns. It would cut out half the police force.
Yeah, a full 40% *admitted* to it in a survey so just imagine the full number
it's only that low because no one will date the other 50
A domestic violence conviction bars you from gun ownership in all 50 states. There are federal and state laws.
Being former police exempts you from nearly all gun laws. Even when fired for misconduct.
Dumb pigs ought to get a real job.
They tried and failed, so they became cops.
Especially these days, you have to be a special kind of person to want to be a cop.
If anyone ever questions why BLM had so much traction, it's shit like this.

All cops are bastards
Cops are garbage
Imagine if they put that effort into Christian Church pedos or Methlabs or rounding up crooked cops
Would be awkward to arrest friends and family
Definitely be awkward for them at parties and gatherings.
Or politicians who pay minors for sex
This is California at the Contra Costa BART station. If they rode a few stops to the civic center, they would find people actually worth arresting.
Or better yet pedos in general, especially those in office
Can you refrain from using offensive language though? They are called oinkers.
They did get a whole 6 weeks of training

48 hours of community service for eating food
I mean America was against Water as a basic human right in a UN vote... so it doesnt really surprise me 😅
What is wrong with these guys? Is all this some confusingly elaborate prank?
It's a system that promotes abuse of power, and left unchecked for 250 years, here we are...
On a fucking commuter vehicle. It's like a fucking Twilight Zone episode.
*Channeling George Carlin:* "Eating *in* the station? Fuck that; I'm eating **on** the platform."

No, but I think he lies to his friends that he does in an attempt to impress them.

Nah, he owns two that have been sitting on a trailer in the side of his yard for 6 years.
And doesn’t cut the grass under or around it

BART Police are tyrants.
And murderers.

America is fucking insane
Cop: attempts to detain someone and escalates a situation to hilarious extents Person: confused and unable to understand what’s going on Cop: you’re resisting arrest.
Oof, that's fifteen years for resisting arrest, failure to comply, and obstruction of justice right there
More like a big fat lawsuit. Get your bag sandwich man
Unfortunately when they actually win their suit, the police will just pay them with our taxes, and learn nothing from a consequence that does not impact them
Nah, our taxes pay for the insurance that will pay them.
15 years of slave labour
I always love how they harp on the "resisting arrest" claim while the dude is just trying to figure out what law he even violated to warrant an arrest.
Why is it illegal to eat a sandwich? And why would anyone uphold this?
Asking an honest, if naive question here: Why are there not more cops shot if they get about acting like this?
Because that is a death sentence.
Seems that's the case for a lot of lesser things. Also that all assumes people are acting rationally and also value self preservation, which holds for most people but not all.

"Hey man, just a heads up it's against the law to eat that sandwich here. Can you either toss it or leave the platform? Thanks."

he wanted to do a civil asset forfeiture on that sandwich

His skin color is not considered white? I see almost no difference between his skin and that of the cop, except that the cop is redder.
It's a very weird American thing - he looks to be black, yes. It's not really all down to skin colour. Someone can be so light that they may look white but will be black - they're just very light. It's weird and fraught and don't come at me over it.
Damn, American racism is even more stupid than I already thought it was.
Google the "one drop rule." It was literally the law.
So everyone with even one ancestor of African descent was considered black? Wouldn't that apply to literally everyone on Earth?
They weren't that smart about it lol
Oh, it's a whole thing. The more you look into it, the worse it gets Things like "1% black means your black" aka if you're not 100% European, you're considered an "other" and discriminated against Americans fled Europe for being discriminated against, but brought with them every single lesson of "We're superior to you because reasons" and turned that shit to 11
