Reply to comment by chewls_verne in Private guards hired by MTA arrested for NYC subway beatdown by 1600hazenstreet
I had the same question! Why are they hiring private security at all?? There are already tons of cops in the subway

Probably because it’s not the best use of police resources to have them solely standing at turnstiles waiting for people to jump them.

It’s really not about stopping fare evasion. it’s about inspiring a feeling of safety, misplaced or otherwise.

Adams is accomplishing both. Providing safety and helping the MTA beat the crap out of fare evaders. You see what he did there right?
-
Grab the fare evader that opened the Emergency Door when exiting
-
Beat the crap out of him
1+2=Safety which ='s money in the MTA's pocket.
As genius as it gets. This is the best Mayor NYC has had in a long long time. /s
