Original Note:
While the man was not "arrested" he was legally detained and fined for both eating on a platform, and resisting an officer. Many people speculate this incident to be an act of racism from the police. Protesters responded to this incident by distributing food on the platform. https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/11/us/bart-san-francisco-man-detained-sandwich/index.html
