Alex O'Keefe, a former writer for "The Bear," the award-winning hit show on FX, spoke out on social media after he was detained by police and forced to exit a train after he said a white passenger wanted him to correct the way he was sitting.

O'Keefe, who is Black, posted the confrontation with Metro Transit Authority police on his Instagram.

The incident occurred on Thursday, according to a statement from the MTA Police Department to ABC News.

Police responded to a complaint of a 31-year-old "disorderly passenger" on a train at Fordham Metro-North station in the Bronx when "a conductor reported a passenger occupying two seats had refused to remove his feet from one of the seats," according to authorities.

"I was arrested on the @MTA train to Connecticut today, pulled off, handcuffed, and detained," O'Keefe said in a statement on social media. "An old white woman got on the train and immediately pointed at me and told me to correct how I was sitting. I refused so she went to the conductor and complained. The conductor called the police and stopped the train."

but I find it funny how this dude is posting this to social media as if he's not in the wrong at all in this situation. You can't put your feet on the seats on mass transit. At most this is a civil penalty, and I suppose this dude is acting indignant because this isn't normally policed, but he should take some responsibility for being somewhat complicit in what went down.

I do wonder what dude's endgame is; is he planning on suing the NYPD and/or the MTA?

but feels small in 2025 with everything else going on in the world.

Feels attention-seeking.

My meh reaction might be because I absolutely hate when folks take up multiple seats on the train for no reason.

what a stupid thing to arrest someone over.

but calling the cops?

That’s extra af.

and man.. when we are on road trips we always crack up when we see white feet on the dash. I actually saw a white girl driving with her left leg out the window.

girl with backpack...backpack...on the bed. like spreading all her shit out with the backpack...in the bed. where else you putting that backpack? on the ground? ...on all sorts of grounds. you ride the bus, right? if the seat next to you is empty...where's the backpack? in your lap? EVERY time? you've seen people do some nasty shit on the bus, right? that backpack has seen too much. backpack...bus seat...bed? she looked at me like i was crazy like she would eat fondue outta that bag. what can ya do.

>she looked at me like i was crazy like she would eat fondue
>outta that bag. what can ya do.

Don't wear outside shoes in the house either. Looking at me like *I'm* the crazy one would've probably set me off, lol.

She probably lays on the couch with her sneakers on too.

thinking about it...for me it's no outside pants on the bed. or socks i've been wearing outside. maybe an outside t-shirt touches the sheets if I'm lazy but any such nap is guaranteed to be 35% less rejuvenating.

argument didn't get heated...but my inner monologue:
1) Yes, we are going to fuck in that bus seat ass bed.
2) No, we will not be starting a family.

Dog poop, spittle, throw-up, food waste, bird poop, broken glass, chemicals, etc.

Agreed.
