Let's face it, everyone will paint themselves a saint having done nothing wrong in the slightest when the big bad cop came along and pounded them for no good reason. I find it very hard to believe that this cop would take such drastic measures for absolutely no reason at all. A simple rule for not getting arrested by Transit Peace Officers or City Cops, follow direction.

Wake up.
These guys have the biggest egos on them of all. Don't let them find out you or someone you are with is a real cop or you are really in for trouble. A friend of mine was harrassed by a group of them and ticketed for disturbing the peace on a downtown c train station at 11 at night for simply exchanging words between a few people to why 10 of them were standing around at one spot for 20 minutes when people are getting assaulted at stations all over the city. They happened to overhear this and acted like someone had just sold hard drugs infront of them.
These guys are the lowest of all.
