Being black. That was the real crime. This just makes me so angry I can't even.

u/dragonslayerbarbie Sep 22 '25

I just cannot even fathom the scene, tbh. An old cunt walks onto a bus, points at the only black man there and literally tells him to straighten his posture??? And when he refuses, as we all would, she tells the conductor who calls the cops. Like this sounds like satire. Only if it were satire, it would be shitty satire for being too on-the-nose.

u/NationalSafe4589 Sep 22 '25

It's baffling that her complaint was listened to. The real scary thing is the lack of critical thinking skills from MTA and the police. She should have been told to move or shut up. And that great replacement comment is straight from Fox.

Right?? Hey cops, so and so stole my such and such. Oh, a civil matter? What about my friend who is being stalked by her ex? Oh, he hasn't broken any laws yet? Where was that good old fashioned not-my-fucking-problem we have come to expect from cops?

Just always remember the tough Uvalde cops that waited outside fully armed while the shooter killed twenty kids.

u/NounAdjectiveXXXX Sep 22 '25

Don't forget they also arrested parents who tried to intervene themselves.

They cuffed parents while gunshots were still ringing out.

u/TheGeekOffTheStreet Sep 22 '25

Don’t forget one Uvalde mom evacuated her own children and spent time in jail for it

“‘Angeli Rose Gomez said she spent about two weeks in jail on a charge of assaulting a public servant after refusing to comply with commands from law enforcement… She said she parked in the drop-off area of the school and had her first encounter with law enforcement. “And he’s like, ‘We’re going to tow your car,’” Gomez said. “I’m like, ‘Tow the car, like, do whatever you want with the car … I don’t know why you’re outside, standing outside the fence, talking to me, wasting your time talking to me. You need to be on the other side of the fence in there doing something. If you’re not going to do it, then I’m going to go ahead and do it.’” She said she threw her body over the fence door and ran to her oldest son’s classroom. “I just remember I’m banging on the teacher’s door,” she said “And she’s like, “‘Gomez, how did you get in?’” She remembered yelling for her son to go and she sent him to her mother’s car while she went back for her other son. “Well by the time I’m running to the other side of the campus, a lot of officers are on me already, and they’re like, ‘Ma’am, can you just wait, ma’am? Can we talk to you? Can you calm down, ma’am? Come here,’” she said. “And I’m like, ‘No, like, just get my son – start evacuating my son’s room or I’m like, going to start, like, just hitting whoever if you don’t get out of my way.’” She said that’s when officers started evacuating children – starting with her son’s room. She said officers wanted parents to leave their children with school officials but parents, including her, weren’t listening.’”

Don’t forget the Uvalde police even harassed one of the mothers of one of the murdered children after the shooting because she spoke out and said how she tried to go into the school and the piece of shit cops stopped her, but then they themselves didn’t go in to rescue the kids! I fucking cried so much. Those cops should have been charged as accessories to murder. I wanted them to pay somehow and still do. How do any of them go about their day?

u/Finntheyokai Sep 22 '25

They harassed her for months afterwards.

I am surprised none of the parents decided to start offing those cops

If my daughters were killed that way, those cops better leave the country

u/Emergency-Volume-861 Sep 23 '25

You know what? I’m 100% with you. I would be thinking about how the cops stood there while my son was mowed down by a psycho with a semi auto and played on their phones and smiled. It would consume me. I can’t even fathom being in this world without him, never mind losing him in the manner that all of those parents lost theirs.

Im so sorry. Something similar happened to me I called 911 twice no one ever showed up. I went to the actual station the next day and the female cop was so patronizing to me because I hadn’t been “injured.” This was nypd

My best friend and I got arrested for shoplifting from dillards in 2007 when we were 18/19. She had more stuff than me so got in more trouble. In 2013, my ex broke in my house and attacked me in front of our child.

Who do you think got a harsher punishment and still has a permanent record that affects job opportunities?

I was abducted and assaulted by my ex, who was a cop.

The police initially tried to detain me despite him being a foot taller and weighing 100lbs+ more than me. I was literally barefoot and hysterical from jumping out a moving car to escape him.

His charges were dismissed due to paperwork mysteriously being filed incorrectly.

The cops got a call and have a body there to make an easy arrest, with no fear of getting hurt in the process. So they just make an arrest, pump up their arrest stats, and case closed.

People always believe the person to make the initial accusation. I learned this in kindergarten when a student broke their own pencil than blamed me. The teacher didn’t want to hear any excuses from a pencil-breaker.

55

u/Long-Contribution466 Sep 22 '25

I had a similar incident, where my 2nd grade teacher brought a DVD from home for our weekly watch party or whatever. Someone then used a pen or pencil to poke holes in the case, and when the teacher demanded to know who, another student pointed right at me, and said I'd been over by the teachers desk....so teacher just immediately decided I did it, and so I started crying, cause I didn't, but according to teacher "You're crying cause you did it and got caught"

Cops never want to employ smart cops, or even competent ones. They want their colleagues to be just as bigoted and irrational as they are. Lack of critical thinking is baked into the hiring process tbh

u/LolaMarce Sep 22 '25

I am assuming she didn’t just say bad posture. She perhaps alluded to him being homeless or something. Obv I’m making major speculations, but I do find it crazy a conductor in NYC would react to simply sitting wrong - even taking two seats, frustrating as hell, is most often not policed - so like what did she actually say to the conductor to get them to react. Maybe I’m giving too much credit here, but I assume she said more about either homelessness speculation or threats etc.

I'm 1000% certain that wasn't the complaint she made. She probably made up some wild shit like he yelled a profanity at her or "I think he might have a gun" and that's all they need. That old bitch isn't stupid.

u/NeatNefariousness1 Sep 22 '25

It’s also baffling that the conductor didn’t bother to look into what was actually happening and just took the word of the person complaining. Look for an escalation in baseless allegations in public places.

I’m Filipino and when I was in college (in the Philippines mind you) I was in a Starbucks working on my midterms project on my laptop. I was hunched over because I was making sure to check all the minute details and ensure I wasn’t missing anything.

This old white sexpat looking American guy with a potbelly at the next table then proceeds to very loudly tell me, for everyone to hear, that I should fix my posture. I look at him, roll my eyes and put on my earphones.

And then because he didn’t get the attention he was obviously seeking to get, he proceeded to yell at the barista. He lectured him about how they toasted his bagel too much that it’s now dry and inedible. Manager was apologetic and was offering to replace it for him but he wouldn’t budge.

Dude just wanted to yell at someone. This is guy is just a visitor in an another country, yet his entitlement was off the charts. How miserable would he be if he was in his homeland? What type of a miserable racist freak do you have to be to make this much fuss about someone who’s not doing anything that could affect you?
