https://foxnews.com/us/antifa-threatens-massive-anti-cop-demonstration-in-new-york-protesting-subway-fares-police-presenceDays earlier, an Antifa-backed social media account shared a video of three masked individuals accompanied by a tweet that read: “The streets are ours. The trains our ours. The walls are ours. This moment is ours.”
The minute-long video showing individuals vandalizing public property and jumping subway turnstiles, calls for supporters of the group to “meet up” and rally against law enforcement and transit fares.
“We encourage you to link up with your friends, your family, and think of the ways you can move in affinity to build and f--- s--- up on J31 all day long,” an unidentified individual said, referencing Friday’s date.
“The mood for J31 is simple: f--- your $2.75. No cops on the MTA, free transit, no harassment period and full accessibility... F--- the police.”
A Facebook group run by the same account shared an event that argued that the addition of 500 more MTA police officers is “a declaration of war against our communities.”
“That money should not be invested in the harassing and brutalizing of Black and brown folks. It should go toward making the MTA free, well maintained, and accessible to all.”
But but but they fight fascists. Its right there in the name

That shit won’t fly on a city bus in Spokane or Boise. They’ll be 20 concealed carry riders who suddenly become concerned with their carbon footprint and ride public transit that day. On each bus.
Fucking idiots.
Imagine rioting against public transit police officers whose only job is to write tickets when your broke ass jumps a turnstile. Now that's a cause worth dying for.

Mission accomplished, as local news shows footage of largely minority cleanup crews entering the station to repair and clean the damage to publicly owned assets.
