Guerrilla NYC subway poster

This is why it's important to remember that in any revolution, resistance, or targeted action, it's the police that are the first enemy. They'll be the ones that respond first, and will likely toe the line the most reliably.

NY transit starts getting complaints about an ad they have no idea about.

"No, m'mam, we don't have a death penalty policy.....no......no m'man, I don't know what poster you saw....."

Reminds me of Brandalism

Here's an example!

so is this ad meant to push people to pay the fare or to start a revolution?

At this point it would be better usage of money to make it a surveillance state instead of a police state, cameras won’t shoot you

The fare enforcement was of course a huge overreach and waste of resources, spending something absurd like 1000x what it recovered. The cops didn't shoot people over a fare, they shot because someone pulled a knife on them, after trying to use a Taser which failed. Not really sure what else people expect will result if someone pulls a knife on someone with a gun, cop or not.

No lie the dude in the reflection looks like my NYPD cousin.

@Apathy@lemmy.world hi

who put this poster up? the subway or a protest group?

It won't load for me on Voyager. Comment to check with sync and desktop.

Edit: doesn't load on sync either.

Damn that’s crazy. No mention of the guy rushing police with a knife when confronted and told to pay, screaming “shoot me shoot me shoot me”.

I always laugh at the people who pay for fares for public transportation. It's an honor system. You just get on and don't pay. No one ever says anything. And those police officers who are supposed to check never say anything.

I know what the person is trying to say.

But It's a bad look for them, as it comes across as them trying to suggest that stealing is ok.

Not everyone skipping fares can't afford it
