is controversial in the US that a police officer coercively arrested a woman who did not properly wear a mask at a subway station.

A woman at a subway station in New York has a loud argument with police officers.

A woman who cannot go down to the platform grabs the hand of her young daughter and turns.

The police stopped women who were trying to take the subway without wearing a mask.

[Don't touch my body!] As the

woman continues to resist, the police officers around him cling to it and take it down roughly.
The young daughter had to watch the mother's arrest right next door.

[New Yorkers: You must have been shocked by the little boy watching your mom arrested on the floor. The child will never forget.] The

controversy over the arrest of women under arrest for police overrepression was also controversial.

Police say the woman refused to wear a mask with abusive language and that it was not racist.

[Dermot Shear / New York Police Commissioner: Police officers politely asked to wear the mask properly. It was all taken on the body camera. But the woman sweared. All will be released.] In

New York, 80% of those arrested by the police for violating social distance are black or Hispanic.

As citizens' fatigue for social distance increases, the controversy over the police's enforcement of discriminatory public power is expected to increase.
