There are almost undoubtedly cops and transit cops who harbour racial prejudice in this city; however it seems beyond the bounds of plausibility that she would be singled out for harassment twice by different officers solely due to such prejudice. Some of the prejudice in this case is clearly HERS - if she's looking for a racist, maybe she should look in the mirror as she is clearly assuming she knows the motivations behind the actions of these officers simply because they don't share her skin colour.

Totally agree with this. And I'd like to clarify something... Does she have an outstanding fine with transit?
So from my perspective, and this is all assumptions, I'm kind of imaging that she was jaywalking on 7th ave which we all know they're total Nazis about (because they're sick of peeling earphone wearing kids off the front of trains). When she got stopped by a rent-a-cop, she probably went a little haywire. I mean, she's already got a grudge against c-pigs and now they're stopping her for something that isn't universally illegal and is enforced at various frequencys. That's probably where she figured he was getting racist.
Now she's choked that he's racist and becomes belligerent and refuses to give ID because a) she probably thinks it's ridiculous to get fined for jaywalking and b) she doesn't want to get jacked for the no ticket fine from before...
And of course, if she's the 'strong woman' that she's been alluded to, I can see her getting pretty upset pretty quickly off of her very own assumptions.
I, personally, have a little more faith in the transit cops. I very highly doubt that they were merely sitting in their van and then decided to go "harass some n*****" "Hey there's one!!" "lets git 'er"
And last but not least, I could care less what this chick thinks of our city. She already decided against us when she refused to accept responsibility for her bus transfer. Too bad, so sad. You let your ticket blow away, buy another ticket. I bet that every single person that ever gets a non payment of fare ticket says that. "Oh I must of lost it!! I had it just a minute ago". Think about how often those guys hear it. They probably just skip straight to "gimme your ID". And she, perhaps because she from Atlanta, just assumed that she was being picked on for being black.
Sorry, sister... We all get picked on when we don't have a ticket on the train.
