THE BAD APPLE: New York to Spend $2.2 Million Per Month on ‘Private Guards’ for NYC Subway

posted by Hannity Staff - 5.25.21

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority -the agency in charge of New York’s subway system- confirmed this week a new plan to spend $2.2 million each month on “private guards” at stations across the Big Apple to provide additional security for riders.

“Sarah Feinberg, the MTA’s interim head of subway operations, said guards were hired early in the Covid-19 pandemic, when ridership plummeted, to address crime and security issues in near-deserted stations. Their ranks swelled to 100, and by the end of this month, they are expected to have doubled to 200,” reports Fox News.

“The last thing I want to do is to devote precious resources in the middle of a financial crisis to additional security contractors,” Ms. Feinberg said. “But I’m also not going to be in a position where my customers and workforce continue to feel uncomfortable and unsafe.”

“We want them to use their judgment and never engage if it could escalate into anything confrontational or violent,” Ms. Feinberg said.

The spending boost comes after a series of attacks aimed at riders, workers, and police in the city’s 472 subway stations.

posted by Hannity Staff - 11.03.19

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stamped her socialist seal of approval on the anti-cop demonstrations that occurred in Brooklyn, NY on Friday evening. AOC tweeted support for the protests which included a video of demonstrators jumping over subway turnstiles, yelling insults at police, and chants of “How do you spell racist? N-Y-P-D,” according to Fox News.

In the video (shown below), protesters can be seen jumping turnstiles without paying the fare, while others are holding signs with slogans like “No cops, no fares.” One straphanger who did choose to pay the fare can be heard being yelled at by a protester.



Other videos and images from the same protest that were not shared by Ocasio-Cortez showed banners that said: “Punch that cop!” “Don’t let these pigs touch us,” and “Hit em!”
