“The Police Reform Organizing Project (PROP) puts together a report called ‘How They Get You‘. People (mostly young non-white men) are arrested and held for hours, or overnight, or for several days, for trivial charges. PROP’s report, which you should read if you can bear it, records arrests of people for putting stickers on scaffolds, for dropping a dog’s leash long enough to scoop dog poop from the sidewalk, for standing in the hallways of buildings where they live, and for swerving a bike to avoid being hit by a car and landing on the sidewalk. And to that proud list of protections, we can now add arrests made for ‘manspreading.'”
