        Since… I dunno but it seems all transit systems have dedicated cops in the US.

        Ah, you’re new! Hello! Ga ga goo goo! Goo Goo ga ga!

        There are transit cops, cops who are on the payroll of a transit system. There are also politicians who lie about where money goes, so they say “we’re investing 100% in MTA to make the system safer for you and your family” and they mean they are giving money to NYPD with some requirement they have 1 more cop at a transit terminal. As another fine example, check out states where lottery funds go to “public schools”.

          I don’t understand the need to belittle anyone that lacks information or is ignorant. Were you born with all the information you have right now?

            No, in fact I quite literally in my message acknowledged they were new and didn’t have that information. Like, the thing you’re asking is actually in my message. Sure, there’s also some belittling for flavor, but life is boring if you don’t insult people on the internet.

              Sounds like you just lead a boring life if you rely on insulting strangers on the Internet for some spice.
