BAN ALL PLIERS

[@benjaminlibertarianscorpio]

just ban people who don’t pay the fare from riding for free

[@1GQ_gent]

And hammocks!

[@1GQ_gent]

​@benjaminlibertarianscorpio I was an operator. Metro policy is to let them ride and not engage in any disputes about fare and when being attacked you must remain in your seat or you'll be fired upon investigation

[@Bertram_D]

This is ridiculous

[@sbsk2526]

AGAIN ? The City needs to do something about this ASAP !

[@sbsk2526]

Did ya'll get a good look at the suspect? 00:36

[@J4sse]

WE HAVE TO KEEP DEFUNDING THE POLICE!

[@AdverbsAndNouns]

I needed a set of pliers 5 hours ago

[@tpolerex7282]

The D.A., upon investigation, has determined no chargeable offenses have occurred. Carry on LA!

[@paulliebler7660]

Cops too busy writing traffic citations and working for businesses as loss prevention 😂😂😂

[@daryoushsameyah8329]

Defund the police!
Defund the police!
And how's all that defunding the police thing working out for Angelinos NOW?

[@lynncollver6067]

Yes . A security guard needs to be on buses at all times .

[@Mikemikeswehomenow]

For 18 bucks no thank u

[@gofar12345]

Alex Villanueva is laughing at the moment😊

[@daryoushsameyah8329]

Another one?!!!
And where are the cops during all of these violent assaults, stabbings, and robberies? Where are the police officers?
Oh wait...
They did WHAT?!!!
They defunded the police?
Well, in that case, nevermind...

[@kinglion2362]

Lmao LAPD has never been at any crime scene in a timely manner. Defunded or not

[@user-uj5ly1eq5n]

What’s the point of asking that question if you already know the answer?

[@daryoushsameyah8329]

@@user-uj5ly1eq5n I wasn't asking. It was a rhetorical question.
I was just rubbing it in for those who did wasn't to defund the police! I wanted to see if they are STILL enjoying defunding the police!
I merely wanted to know if the last thing that went through their minds ( just before getting stabbed to death) was if they wished there was a police cruiser in the area! Or if their dying thoughts were "Maybe I shouldn't have pushed to defund the police!"?

Thanks Timothy, Mathew and Daniel

[@Trist805]

Hey its not like u knew about this weeks ago and did nothing to prevent this from happening again.

[@srfjnki]

If you wanna fix the problem, go to the top get Newsom and gascon out.

[@saleemahfareed4495]

[@fayenora4095]

This is Newsome fault. Crime has risen since he let prisoners out!

[@JL-rd5gn]

assault by tooth extraction

[@Goontownhero]

Free bus fair changes, it was a robbery after all

[@malin7919]

Normal daily activities of hard working Joe Biden supporters

[@PauloHernandezXD]

Another example of a pattern.
