That may actually be the solution we've been looking for...pepper spraying seat hogs, eaters, drinkers, smokers (the station manager made an announcement at metro Center this morning about someone smoking on the lower platform), and unruly teenagers!

But then again, WMATA Transit Police never do anything...

So you have to commit a felony, not just a civil infraction, for WMATA Transit Police to do anything...

There ain't no law about putting your feet on the seat. It's rude, but it isn't illegal.

Last week my red line train was pulling through Chinatown at night. There were 4 metro police officers shining a light at an older man. He had a plastic bottle on him and that seemed to be what was causing the commotion, because they kept shining on the bottle? Was it an alcoholic beverage? Was he creating a commotion? I have no idea, but where are these guys when teens are snatching peoples phones and assaulting people? Its pretty easy to go act macho to some old guy with a bottle of booze, but it takes a man to go after the real crooks who can fight back...

do you seriously think purse snatchers and thugs are going to commit a crime if cops are anywhere in the area? thus the reason the cops are not around when it happens.

I think we need an Occupy WMATA Office movement.

Block off the ramp to their parking garage so they have to take Metro to work every day!

Just put a yellow vest on the dash board when you park in front of their garage driveway.

I agree with this! OCCUPY the Board Room and The Civil Rights OFFICE.

Who's taking orders for lunches? Or should we just tell the caterers to bring an array of hot and cold sandwiches - you know, the Board Special?

Seat hogs should be forcibly removed and be forced to wear a scarlet 'M' for moron

Why is it that so many people seem to need to put their feet up? I see it on Metro, rail and bus both. And when there isn't a seat to prop their feet up, people put them up on the pole - blocking the aisle. When did people stop being able to sit with both feet on the ground?

It's so rude to do that. I will understand if there is not a lot of people in the car, then it is okay to feet up but if there are people coming in the train car, then should put feet down. So, a person can have a seat. Not everyone can stand still awhile the train is moving.

This guy looks like a Tofu munchin’ Uber-Douche….makes me want to grab his ankles and pull upwards; thus granting him the opportunity to kiss his own arse.

I stand corrected…. I too, on occasion enjoy a little tofu in my stir fry goreng….along with some prawns, though….but I try to always keep my dancing feet on the floor where they can best do their magic…on the metro and in life.

Respectfully in Soy,

This pic is odd.... Bogus, maybe? It looks like a Metro station (the tiles on the wall) but that doesn't look like an MTPD patch. And most officers have embroidered name tags now. Photoshop, maybe?

RGG- this is a meme based on pictures captured from a video of the UC Davis Police Officer Lt. John Pike pepper-spraying peaceful Occupy protesters.

NAh, BOGUS! The more I look at this pic (pepper can excluded) it isn't here. The uniform is wrong(especially the shirt)....and the helmet.... and there appears to be an outline around his legs.

But...maybe that was the intention?
