NYPD stop assaulting and harassing buskers for legally singing/performing on subway platforms

A musician was assaulted and arrested after he wouldn’t stop playing guitar in a New York subway station on Friday morning. The video of the incident went viral, drawing attention to his cause: The police’s unfair treatment of buskers. The cop then insists that MTA requires a permit; Kalleen argues it does not. He asks the member of New York’s Finest to look up Section 1050.6c of the MTA’s Rules of Conduct. The officer then reads the entire rule aloud, emphasizing the applicable portion:

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.
