Racist terror continues in NYC

NYPD tasered and arrested 2 teenagers for fare evasion. It’s important to note that @NYCMayor @NYGovCuomo have stationed NYPD at train stations located in the poorest Black Latinx neighborhoods in NYC. #NoNewCops pic.twitter.com/q7W5XAV25m

Fare-evasion crackdown is just racist terrorism

More than 60 percent of people arrested for fare evasion in the second quarter of the year were black or African-American, according to the most recent fare evasion data published by the NYPD. Another 25 percent were listed as “Hispanic.”

Fare enforcement a waste of taxpayer money - #freeischeaper

There are a gaggle of cops checking tickets on the M14 this morning at each stop along 14 ST. A truly incredibly waste of time and energy for everyone involved.

Public transportation should be fare-free. We can afford to do it and we can’t afford not to. #freepublictransit pic.twitter.com/NIJdc4qPr9
