"what you in for" "drugs" "Killed a guy" "BLT"
batshark 007 lol did he say it was a BLT?? Im deceased XD
Blt
lmfao
That made me chuckle!
batshark 007 💯😩💯
“I’m eating” “That’s illegal.”
Roiice i wass laughing when he said eating is illegal
Okay then if eating is illegal then we should die
RiqZ I was too 😂
If eating is so illegal then there are an awful lot of people (about 250 million of them) breaking the law every day...including this police officer. OMG don't these cops realise just how they look to everyone? Walks past white people eating and drinking on the platform to harass a black man daring to eat a sandwich. It's racist, and there is no way it could be interpreted as anything else.
This is where a democratic government leads you. Into the abyss of foolishness over feelings.
Such bravery, integrity & courage shown by these police officers arresting a man for eating a sandwich.
The sandwich had at least a hundred calories😅
I know right..
@markmanmanmark9975 😂😂😂
@markmanmanmark9975 😂😂😂
This man ate this policeman's favorite sandwich. Now, the whole police force came in 'full force' to retaliate about it as they also wanted a bite 🫣🤔
Earning the hate. This is disgusting.
This is one of the stupidest wastes of OUR tax dollars I have ever seen.
Literallyyyyyy
Ikr
bro im weak, im not even american

True man
Another guy in jail: why you here? This guy: Eating a sandwich in public
And the other guy. I'm here in jail because I drunk coffee
U mean, I m here because of my skin tone? :D
I'm here because I exist
If a white drinking a Starbucks coffee will be fine , just because of his race , that’s it . It’s unfair for him.
Hamzah Rassul ahhaha This is ridiculous 😂
Imagine being a cop in this position and truly think that you’re not being a ridiculous human being.
That's the sad part 😔
Look at the fraternal attitude, second cop walks up and is three times as aggressive, can't lose face!!!
that's literally every cop in every interaction
This is disturbing but the woman handing out breakfast sandwiches was really heartwarming
I know right?
"What you in for?" "Stabbed a guy" "What about you?" "Ate a sandwich"
Harold and kumar like hahah
“HELP!! GET HIM OUT OF MY CELL!!!”
Y-YOU! MONSTER!
Resisting arrest, but who's counting anyways
Brett Hogan he wasn’t resisting arrest he was pointing out “hey? Everybody else can eat up here. Why can’t I?” He was trying to tell the truth to the officer, but he wasn’t listening
They're too scared to chase real criminals.
That's just sad and true
Basically
Look at them they're old and fat how they gonna chase down criminals.
Real criminals might harm them, this ordinary guy is an easy target
yes..but that could be career ending because they would have to be upright and go after some of their direct employers
when the officer said that eating is against the law, he already knew he was getting fired
This is absolutely disgusting ! I hope he sues......
*inside the cell* Prisoner 1: “I murdered a family” Prisoner 2: “I shot my wife” Prisoner 3: “I ate a sandwich..”
lol
Actually they would put them in jail instead of prison. It would go more like this. Inmate 1: I'm here for fighting my coworker. Inmate 2: I'm here because they saw pass crack to some dude. Foster: Ate a sandwitch

@@mevsme9649 you ruined our yes train bro
Police logic. You can't go to jail for eating a sandwich. But you can go to jail for resisting arrest..... For eating a sandwich
It is actually illegal to eat food on the platform where he is at
Under arrest for "resisting arrest"? Logic dictates that he would have to be under arrest for something in the first place.
Officer: "You're eating." Guy: "So what?" Officer: "It's against the law." America doesn't get any better than this.
I paused the video at "so what" and I was like wtf is the cop gonna say eating is illegal? BOOM he said it.
America is a joke of a country
I am from Philippines and I can't believe that Police in America are just like trump. Omg they're too feeble minded. Such cutie adults
This can only happen in USA!!!
@WilMar even if UN is something to some countries, it definitely doesn't mean anything to the US

Great point
😳 I've said this once and I'm saying it again, "It Should Be A Crime Wearing A Badge WHILE STUPID!" 👀
Looks like eating a sandwich and picking up litter in front of your residence is highly suspicious activity.
So he gets arrested for eating a sandwich and people don't understand why there are protesting is happening right now
Private property has their own rules. This man just pretended like it was public area and that there is nothing wrong about eating in public.
EXACTLY !
@@teemum.9023 say something now
@@teemum.9023 Literally everyone was eating but he was singled out
@@teemum.9023 Train stations are more or less public space, whether you like it or not. At least in a free country. Which the US is not. I have YET to see any person getting fined while eating a sandwich at a European train, bus, subway station.

Your comment made my day. Lol
Why is America called the land of the free when you guys can't even eat a sandwich in public.
I think the saying is pure sarcasm now
I'm pretty sure those are actor cops sooooo
The fact that they feel the need to call themself that is a bit of a red flag for me
I’m screaming 🤣🤣🤣
Eh... It's California, which is a bit of an aberration.
This is pathetic. The existence of the law not allowing someone to eat without doing any harm to anyone , the behavior of the cops making up the “crime “ and the absence of at least one decent cop among four who would say to others “let the guy go “. Are these people fighting crime ? Cowards.
If guy had Ak they’d run the other way.
Ok this BS HAS GOT TO STOP THEY NEED TO BE FIRED
"You're eating" "So what?" "It's against the law" Well ladies and gentlemen, I guess now we'll starve
Does the guy, like, HEAR himself?

how do you arrest someone from resisting arrest when they weren’t even getting arrested.
'Merica!
He was never arrested, he was detained, there is a difference.
@@JesusSaves5500 then how can he be resisting arrest if he's not being arrested?
@@Dudelsackpfeifer Exactly. The cop was using scare tactics to try and get the man to comply. No one wants to be arrested, so telling someone they are being arrested puts fear in them, making them more likely to obey. That being said, it's a disgusting tactic, trying to scare a person into submission with lies, the cop was trying to flex his "I'm a cop you have to listen to me" nonsense. I'm not defending anyone, I think literally everyone in this situation are disgusting in their own special ways.
Send In The Clowns youu cringe asf
And I love the way they lie right off the Rip and say "Stop Resisting".
Under arrest for resisting arrest and no charge for anything else.
This man was obviously behaving in a threatening way towards that sandwich, and in public no less! It's so reassuring to know the police are to defend the sandwiches, and the innocent bystanders traumatized by this man's actions! 🤪
😂😂

Those sandwiches should know their place. Not our fault theyre so delicious.

Yup. Well, that and your president.
@@briandesormeau2643 sadly... alcohol calms me down anytime I see his face
So embarrassing, but needs to be watched and shared bcz things are just ridiculous!
"You're getting arrested" "For eating a sandwich?" "No, for resisting arrest" *Logic 100*
Bro, the police said he will end up going to jail, not being arrested, for resisting arrest. Getting arrested doesn't mean you're going to jail.
While I don’t agree it is illegal to eat there because of littering and cops are trained to enforce the law and he could have listed and probably would’ve gotten a ticket or warning and if he believes that the officers were wrong and you could fight the ticket and the judge would have cleared you but you thought it would be better to continue to eat and tug away for the officers
Lmao
state trooper k9 I think the fact is that the cop passed by other people doing the same thing but paid no attention to them. It makes it seem like he is targeting him, and makes it seem like he has something against him based on his skin tone.
this us police should go to hong kong to catch terrorists who are supported by the american government instead of catching people eating on the side of the road
Strange laws and strange cops. Is this we call a educated developed country?
Catch 22...How can you only be under arrest because you resisted arrest? He wouldn't say you're under arrest for resisting arrest. He would just say you're adding to your charges.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that..this mans was still eating his sandwich. What a legend..
He was literally eating and talking, a king.
And his awesome girlfriend who calmly challenged for his rights
Sandwich must be very good .
Cevy I only saw one man, was there two men? You said "man's"
Indeed
The officer was clearly trying to escalate a non-situation. He wanted the guy to overreact to this absurdity so they could have a reason for an arrest.
for eating a sandwich? that's stupid!
DownrightSuperb Don’t blame the the officers blame the far left state California for making that law.
No he wasn’t. At first he just told the guy that there is no eating on BART, then the dude eating escalated the situation.
Wrong again
The police kept trying to manufacture a fake narrative of arrest being resisted. Each time they were fact-checked by the man and his friend who made the video, over and over, like a skipping record. It's like Trump's firehose of repeating lies strategy where he hope fact checking fatigue will make his opponents give up on defending the obvious truth. It is demeaning having to defend the obvious only to be contradicted over and over again by the same lie.
I feel a lot safer now that they arrested this man that was eating a sandwich
Are you taking me to jail for eating a sandwich? NO, I am taking you to jail for resisting arrest . BUT YOU ARE arresting me for eating a sandwich. 😅
This is why cops are referred to as “pigs”

This is the time to use discretion. Is it worth it to be arresting people for eating. As someone in law enforcement; some things are 100% not worth it!
Only real cops understand that fact.
This is why we need to massively increase the internal affairs department of this whole state
I think the American cops are trained to escalate the situation. 😕
Definitely. Just listen to the language. The police wasn't doing anything, just standing there next to this man also standing there and they call it "resisting". Like "resisting" doesn't need the actual physical action of resisting.
Police are uneducated on purpose
Tbh
Random Guy Don’t blame the the officers blame the far left state California for making that law.
Only when they feel like it. Obviously they were looking for an arrest. Someone on a power trip will most likely not back down though as you always see with some of these pig cops making the actual heroes in blue look bad
"Resisting arrest" when there's no initial need for arrest. Stupidity at its finest.
That's america for ya!
Well, if he had been black, he'd probably be dead now
Batlafication, he is black
Stupidity at it's finest in the comments 😂
Your average cop has an IQ of 105. being smart is not their thing.
Law enforcement, across the entire USA, represent the greatest threat to our personal safety and well being that we must have to worry about encountering on a daily basis.
They always say "resisting arrest." Don't you have to be ARRESTED first in order to RESIST the arrest? This is the one that always gets me.
America in the future be like: "You're breathing" "So what?" *"IT'S AGAINST THE LAW"*
If things go the right way, America in the future will be a scorched radioactive wasteland, and the rest of the world will finally thrive.

TheAMZ, I can't begin to imagine living there.

These videos and news items keep on appearing on KZhead - when you add to that a president who thinks he already rules the world, it makes me glad to be living somewhere a little less insane: UK.

Arrested for resisting unfair arrest
Funny thing is, the guy asked why he is arrested for eating a sandwich. - No, I'm arresting you for resisting arrest. Hmmm... Ok, what was the initial arrest for? They never state that. It's always only Resisting arrest. I feel like there should be a sub-clause. Resisting arrest for...
@@Oneofakind123 Cause they had to make up a new charge because that's what all cops do. They make up charges cause they need something to do when they harass people.
*sigh* No, he was arrested because they wanted to give him a TICKET for breaking the law, and he refused to provide any identification. How should it work? "Sir you're getting a ticket." "Naw uh, I won't tell you my name so you can't give me a ticket!" "Oh well gosh you got me there!"
This is why the USA is literally burning at the moment.
Facts ....
His wife didn't make him a sandwich 😂so he can't get a sandwich no one can it's against the law 😂

Right it’s burning lol. This happens every year over here yet you can’t have protests or any sort of rise against oppression in most countries without serious retaliation from the government.
@@deeibric8159 Actually you can, you just don't hear about it in the land of the 'free'. The idea that protests happen every year because of this, and that's okay is a perfect illustration of the problem. And in a large number of countries the Police don't even kill you, even if you're not pale and pasty faced.
I guess it's agents the law to eat in front of a police officer when he hasn't had his lunch 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
