Last week, a Uni student was forcefully arrested by Ticket Inspectors over a $2 fare.

Just to explain, for context, they can only use "reasonable force" to detain someone.

The student commented here giving his account of events and asking for advice on what to do. Many people questioned his version of events, and arguments started on the use of reasonable force. OP is accused of exaggerating his injuries and is downvoted when he responds.

Some comments resulting in arguments included

>Sounds like a COPS episode. Be honest, were you like all the other douchebags on COPS who think they're innocent?

A followup thread from the student reminding people to tag on.

>You're the idiot if you believe this fuckwit's bullshit. This is nothing more than a sensationalised beat-up and this kid is just trying to screw the system.

>Stop being so fucking stupid. Nobody gets detained by five people over a $2 ticket. I swear to fuck you people are unthinking morons.

>You seriously want your taxes going to this fucking drama queen? Fuck me people like you are stupid.

> Yeah he fare evaded but does he deserve to be assaulted over $2.20? Herald Sun readers think so![1] > > I dont hold back these days when i find out someone is an avid herald sun reader, in fact i stop myself short on calling them out as a moron.

And for dessert.

>And i am going to TAG you as piece of shit inhuman child molester so i can remind you how pathetic you are and then down vote anything you have to say.

EDIT: for clarification "tag on" is referring to the RFID ticket system (similar to Oyster in the UK).
