Deadly subway shooting sparks push to ban face coverings on NYC trains

something has to be done and what I would suggest to the MTA what we're suggesting today is we want the MTA and we want NYPD especially NYPD and MTA police department to ban uh people who wear shiesty sleeves um you know basically they cover up their nose and their face it's not really a mask for COVID it's just something to cover up the identity where you can only see their eyes and And we're noticing in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Transit Police banned it. And it's been highly successful over there. They're able to apprehend suspects. And I don't understand why the NYPD has not done that yet. That should have been done like last year, especially with all the crimes. So what we're proposing today is that when people enter the subway at the point of entry, When they tap their OMNY card, they should have to pull down whatever face covering they have. If they're waiting in a platform, they should try to do that as well. Because if a crime happens, NYPD cannot identify themselves. But then again, the criminals don't follow the laws. So that's why we think it should just be a law. That action should be banned outright. Because yesterday's incident, the guy had a face covering. You couldn't really see him. A big issue. The things that we have, nothing is not better.
