I couldnt believe it. Just a power trip I guess, just upset they failed at becoming a real cop.
In regards to this video... Sure he lipped them off a bit but I dont think the transit pigs have a right to spray him with mace and knee a guy in the side while holding him to the ground! Its wrong!

I don't mean to defend all Transit Cops here. I've never had an experience with them one way or the other.
However at 1:19 of the video, the kid in the long sleeve black shirt comes up behind one of the officers, and puts his arms on him to pull him back from aiding the other officer inside the waiting area.
Ummm, if going up behind an officer and attacking him isn't justification to spray him with mace and knee a guy in the side while holding him to the ground (in an attempt to retrain his arms <-- you forgot that part), then I don't know what is.
