Saying the police “did the best they could” when armed government agents shoot four people—including a cop and a random hospital administrator in the head—while trying to enforce a $2.90 public transit fare evasion feels like a society giving up on creating a better world. pic.twitter.com/csXNxLclxz

🚨HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of NYC residents have just conducted a mass fare evasion at West 4th. The action took place in response to the NYPD mass shooting at a Brownsville subway station this Sunday, which occurred after Derrell Mickles hopped a turnstile. https://t.co/76VI3rNqex pic.twitter.com/JH9zJOY6IG

Anyone getting shot just for $2.90 is the most dystopian thing I’ve ever heard and it’s fucking travesty that this the reality every New Yorker is living in. Already the most expensive city in the world and yet fare evasion gets you pinned by the pigs. Fuck Eric Adams fr.

Cops shot 3 people and a cop over an alleged $2.90 fare evasion, and Eric Adams is calling that restraint. The bystander they shot in the head is in critical condition https://t.co/sHfUEXuuS0
