Yeah right. You probably think the same thing about Jim Morrison and Elvis.

She did something Illegal, then she mocked the officer. So she got we she deserved. She said this was "humiliating" to her. Well how does she think the officer felt when she was mocking her? I'm sure the officer felt humiliated also. So F#$k her, hopefully next time she won't say something stupid to law enforcement who are just doing their jobs.

  Ah, okay.  In the article it didn't mention that.

"Curry-Hagler turned around and followed Willett into the station. Moments after making a remark to the officer, Willett said, she was searched, handcuffed and arrested  for chewing the last bite of her candy bar after she passed through the fare gates.  She was released several hours later after paying a $10 fine, pending a hearing."

The comment was about whether she was African American or not.  I hadn't seen the article in the Post where there's a picture of her.

No, that wasn't a good thing to do...but c'mon, they could have let it go.

Oh ok...since it was right under my post I thought...oh well you know.
 
 Don't you people see how this incident has divided our fair city?  I wish we could just go back to the way things were pre - 9/28.

I've got to agree with those that feel she got what she deserved. She didn't only mock the officer, she refused to stop and produce ID. If she had she would have gotten a warning or ticket and that would have been the end of it. Instead she made rude remarks and ignored the officer. I bet she's one of the ones that writes into the Express and complains about people breaking the rules on the metro and there being no enforcement. Talk about having your cake and eating it too!

I mouthed off to a couple of cops once.  I got the shit kicked out of me.  I have since refrained from mouthing off to cops.

She was warned, continued to break the law and got arrested. What's the problem here? Anyway, she looks like she enjoys those Paydays a little too much if you ask me....and she's BLACK for crying out loud. This "African American" garbage is a joke...I'm willing to bet she's never set foot in Africa. What's wrong with being "black"? I just don't get it....until white's are "European Americans" then black people will be black. It's just silly political correctness dreamed up by Jesse Jackson most probably.

One of my pet peeves is locals who yell at tourists for standing to the left on those really short little escalators going down to the platform from the faregates.  Unless a train is coming, calm the fuck down -- the whole escalator ride is 17 seconds.  You might save 4 seconds by yelling and passing by.  Now, the regular long escalators, that makes more sense.  Though a polite "excuse me" always works when I use it...

Wait -- by my reading, she did exactly what the officer told her.  She finished the bar (ie, threw any related trash away and had no food in her hands whatsoever) before entering the metro.  This is the issue -- the possible waste from food products, right?  What, the possibility that she might vomit is part of the equation?  Anyone could vomit anytime, whether they have food in their mouths or not.
 
 She finished the candy bar for all intent and purposes.  She did NOT continue breaking the law, she did exactly as the officer asked her initially.

Seems like the tourists are the ones who are in the wrong, not the locals.
