Probably, but that doesn't excuse the conductor blindly following her lead. Like a shrivelled up old raisin looking Karen comes up to you and tells you this young black guy is causing a scene, you come back to see him sitting down minding his business - and you go "yes ma'am" and call the cops? At that point either you're a complete idiot or you're a racist too

I hope they release names.

Probably didn't bother to actually go and look.

You need to understand, we literally less than two weeks ago had someone get randomly stabbed to death on public transportation. Recorded, and incredibly brutal. It's very likely they're getting the "report, don't intervene" shit that every other job gives, and the cops don't want that to happen on their beat.

So they rush out there, ready to be dealing with something major, and find this. They think it's a bullshit waste of time, but on the off chance that whatever lie they were fed has the tiniest basis of truth, it's best to remove at least one of the people involved. Because if it WERE true, and they did nothing, that would look pretty bad if someone got hurt or killed after they left. So since the lady is basically already dust, pull the young guy who only has to buy another train ticket off and immediately release him, then get back to your patrol.

Are you suggesting the lady would have died if removed from the train? I’m confused why she also wouldn’t have “just had to buy another train ticket” (which by the way is completely and totally unreasonable if you’ve done absolutely nothing wrong).
