Abuse suffered at the hands of metrorail staff

Are we not human? Why are we constantly subjected to such inhumane treatment from Metrorail security and staff?<br> <br> I witnessed a brutal altercation at Mears station that occurred between the security guards and a commuter around 7h30. The commuter tried to explain to the security guard that he had a ticket but was told to stand in the corner. When he asked the guard why he must stand in the corner, the guard got aggressive and started smacking the commuter. The rest of the guards jumped in and unfortunately when the commuter tried to defend himself, he hit the one guard with a sharp object and the guard started bleeding. From there onwards a bad situation turned even worse because even more punches and kicks where hailed on a defenseless man by a horde of Metrorail security guards. After the man was beaten to a pulp, they dragged him from one end of the platform to the other end and pored ice cold water on him and made him lay on the floor in the water. The bleeding guard continually went back to the commuter kicked and tazzered him several times. The staff of Metrorail kept making rude comments of the man being a foreign national and they took his valuables as well. #traumatised
