That is true in some cases, as in any field there are always bad actors, police are not above being temperamental. I know that I could never do that job, because I’m quick to anger and not very sympathetic when someone gets in my way.
But to be fair, this poor lady, she didn’t ask anyone to buy her a ticket (that I’m aware), she was just caught using the trax train without one. And that is illegal, i get that, no matter who you are. But she was so stressed out, bawling her eyes out and asking for help. I just wanted to offer help but the police were standoffish and took her away.
If she had approached us before she boarded and asked if we could help buy a ticket, we certainly would have. I’d rather spend a little to help someone that watch them being treated like a sick animal with no value. That was a very sad day for me.
