The unlawful arrest of busker Andrew Kalleen, who has been performing in NYC subways for years, has created an outrage online, with his arrest having received over 1,000,000 views on YouTube.
Kalleen was acting completely within the confines of the law to perform at the Lorimer Street-Metropolitan Avenue G-train stop in Williamsburg, but he drew the ire of one cop when he stood up for his rights, who arrested him only for his ‘defiance’.
The cop stated that he needed a permit to perform in the subway systems of New York, which actually isn’t true.
The MTA rules reads as follows:
“The following nontransit uses are permitted by the Authority, provided they do not impede transit activities and they are conducted in accordance with these rules: public speaking; campaigning; leafletting or distribution of written noncommercial materials; activities intended to encourage and facilitate voter registration; artistic performances, including the acceptance of donations.”

Why is it that when the police break the law, they don’t face disciplinary measures?? I’m so sick of this!
let the musician get a real job
Let the guy play, he wasn’t hurting anyone.
New York has been in the news quite often lately.
Bully cop needs a regular job because being a police bully is passe.
Have we entered into the NWO already? This sure shows how things are starting to really heat up people!!!
You can defend yourself against an unlawful arrest to the point of killing the offending officer. This was ruled by the supreme court of the united states. Stop this behavior and let them know they answer to the people. As for those like Frank, they have earned the reputation they have and there is a reason people dislike and do not trust the cops so if it makes you feel better to trash another for their beliefs or thoughts then you’re no better than all those bad cops out there shooting first and asking questions later.
This is just the beginning ladies and gentlemen , our “criminal” in-justice system is beginning to look like Germany in the 1930’s !!! Adolf Hitler is alive and well in Washington d.c. !!!!
Right I have been saying that for some time now, Adolf Hitler is a Muslim this time.
Many police officers, and many judges, BELIEVE they are empowered to DECIDE what the law should be.
