Patron then gets beaten, tazed and arrested for contempt of cop and resisting arrest ("I felt their bicep move"), has their car torn apart in a non-consensual punitive search, has their assets impounded, loses their job, can't make their rent payment, gets evicted by Todd, ends up homeless on the street. Spends the first few months hopeful and optimistic, charges their cellphone wherever possible, trims their hair in the bathroom at Starbucks, and tries to keep their clothing stored neat, clean and presentable. Cellphone breaks, clothes get stolen. Their sleep is constantly interrupted by rain, street noises, and being prevented from resting anywhere for more than a few hours before being rousted. The shelters are full. They find an interview to try and get themselves in the queue for affordable housing and government aid, but when they pull out their nice clothes, they find the bag has leaked and they're all wet. They show up stinking and disheveled despite their best efforts, and the interviewer immediately turns to their criminal record.

Turned away and destitute, they feel sanity slipping away with each day that passes.

Then the winter comes.

Or, alternatively, the patron's dashcam, as corroborated by the video shot by other patrons/passers by as well as the officer's own body cam catches the entire episode. Event goes viral on social media. Outrage ensues. Officer is at first suspended, but as it develops, is later arrested by the Feds and convicted for civil rights violations. Chief of Police resigns in disgrace and the municipality (or their insurance company) writes an 8 figure check to the patron for punitive damages.

Is that how you paid for your flight training?

Too much reality there for you?

From an initial read it seems like fiction. Do you know more about the situation? It seems as if it could be real, but that doesn't make it real. There's lot's of bad reality that's actually true that is happening, why would some random persons fiction rile you up?

What makes you think I'm riled up?

Bold of you to assume the body cam would be working, and that the dashcam wouldn’t be seized as evidence and “mysteriously” have its memory card disappear.

If they come east there are a whole LOT of jobs with reasonable salaries/hourly rates that no one seems to want. Maybe it’s not the same where the patron lives? Of course, NYS isn’t a desirable destination for many people, without regard to their current situation.

It’s very important to understand that NYS ≠ NYC.

My folks were from WAY out in NYS, and it easily equals Florida in WTFery, just with worse weather and higher taxes.
 
Groom Lake is a distraction. I doubt there’s anything there these days. You can walk right up to the border, not so much as a fence.

It would be nice for the patron to have avoided the whole thing, though; more restraint in the use of force is a good aspirational goal.
