Metro stranded countless workers and aided LAPD last night

[andert]

Metro abruptly ended all service last night, stranding countless workers across the county, leaving them not only no way to get home from essential jobs that already put them in danger, but put them at risk of being brutalized by the police for being out after curfew just trying to find a way home. And then they turned around and allowed the LAPD to take their buses to use as paddy wagons (compare to the MTA in New York, where bus drivers adamantly refused to do this).

This is an abhorrent, unforgivable abdication of duty from Metro, completely turning on the people who depend on them. Anyone involved with this decision should be held fully responsible, and we should place any and all pressure on them to ensure that they are.

You claim social injustice and then use a racial slur, nice priorities.
