Black man in the US arrested for eating

[KS55]

Anyone who has witnessed me eating a curry after ten pints of Vedett would perfectly within their rights to have me arrested for a section 5 Public Order Act 1986 offence.

Farting without a licence is a serious offence.

Would it be such big news if it was a white guy. Rules are rules weather your black, white or any other colour

Would he have been bothered by the plod if he was white?

Maybe the cop is a jobsworth.

Genuine surprised that it's not a thread about Raheem Sterling.

A) first and foremost, why is there a fucking law against eating on a platform?

Is it a law, or is it just a rule the train station put in place? And then because it's private property they can call the police to enforce it if someone refused to comply and refused to leave?

I can't believe there are still people questioning the idea that US cops (and the whole criminal justice system) are institutionally racist.

Sell guns like sweets and illegal to eat on a station. What a fucked up country America is.

Reminds me of this famous meme.

From what I understand it’s illegal to eat in public in all of California, but I bet you can still carry a gun, strange country indeed

I suspect the police officer wouldn’t have acted that way if it was a white guy.

Correct....

Do you mean on just the transport network?
