'When you swipe someone in, you could save them from paying a hefty fine, a night in jail, a record or a potentially harmful interaction with a police officer.' SwipeItForward
It started like any other weekday morning. I headed to the Utica subway station in Brooklyn, bagel in hand, mentally running down my to-do list. Just as I approached the turnstile, I saw a cop accost a young preteen boy who’d jumped a turnstile and shove him towards a wall. This briefly blocked my path, forcing me to witness the horrific incident up close. As I fumbled with my phone to capture the moment, people around me pushed and shoved to get to the trains carrying them to their usual 9-5.
I was numb with shock and felt helpless to do anything, passing through the turnstiles without seeing how the incident resolved. This wasn’t the first time that I’d witnessed a young person of color being roughed up by the cops for trying to skip the fare. But many of New York's working poor have few other options, so they continue to risk it.with no perceptible reduction in subway malfunctions and subsequent delays.
