Everyday a new reason for #freepublictransit

Yet another reason why free public transit is needed so we can stop wasting money on law enforcement making our lives more difficult especially those of our most vulnerable & impoverished citizens whether they be Americans with disabilities or people of color. https://t.co/VrqKCnWcHv
