Facebook earlier Friday morning by Irize Refined Earth, this video shows a young father, carrying his infant daughter, being arrested by Philadelphia police. Witnesses state that it was all because he didn't pay a far for his daughter, but policy there states kids under 4 are free.
The witness said this:
So, this is the bullshit my son witnessed yesterday coming home from work. Dude's crime? Paying $2.25 for the El, but carrying his daughter on his shoulders and not paying for her. Look at how small she is, and how he is treated by Septa & Philadelphia police, over $2.25!!! I thought Septa had a policy of allowing fareless riders the courtesy? I wish they would put hands on me while holding my kids!!! This police 'entitlement' mentality, which often leads to brutality, has got to stop!
You have to see the video below.
