In the caption of the Instagram post, he wrote, “An old white woman got on the train and immediately pointed at me and told me to correct how I was sitting. I refused, so she went to the conductor and complained. The conductor called the police and stopped the train,” he said.
O’Keefe also says in the caption that the friend of the woman who called the police had said to him, “You’re not the minority anymore.”
A separate video about the incident has been uploaded by the user, Nalae, on TikTok, where it has quickly gone viral, having been viewed over 160,000 times as of reporting.
They said I was disturbing the peace by not leaving the train. They pulled me off the train and arrested me without even talking to the Karen who reported the one black person on the train. On the platform, the police detained me and interrogated me. Only black folks stayed nearby and recorded the arrest. When I demanded a lawyer and reminded them they didn’t even take a statement from the woman who complained they eventually released me. This country is growing more psycho by the day. What will you do about it?"
Shit like this happens every fucking day. This is news because the victim is famous.
I feel for the MTA worker most of all, they probably see this shit all the time.
Really? I feel for the victim of racial discrimination.
Look at their other responses. KKK lost a klown.
MTA rules apply to all passengers.

It’s highly unlikely you can get kicked off without violating the rules, and it’s not disputed that how he was sitting was the issue (not who he was).

Calm down.
Doesn’t sound like they apply to all passengers equally.
Oh yeah, if someone brings attention to you doing it - it gets way more attention.
Same as breaking the rules anywhere. Schoolyard rules.
Do you really believe that? Do you believe that the conductor and the cops would’ve acted in the same way if he, a 30 year old black man, was complaining about how an old white woman is sitting? Would they have stopped the train and detained the old woman in your opinion?
You can literally watch videos and videos and videos of problem passangers being removed from planes, trains, and buses… Is it your first day online or something?
Nope, that’s not the same. Also, you won’t win this argument because you’re a racist moron, so consider stopping.
Or don’t and be a lolcow. It’s your shitty life amigo.
