Black man stabbing someone to death on BART is not news. A black man being arrested for eating a sandwich on BART is reason for a lawsuit.

Man detained for eating sandwich at Bay Area Rapid Transit station intends to sue

The man busted for eating a sandwich at a BART station last week has taken a first step toward suing the transit agency, CBS San Francisco reports. In a news conference Thursday afternoon, Bay Area civil rights attorney John Burris announced he had filed a claim against BART on behalf of Steven Foster.

Foster was taken into custody for eating a breakfast sandwich on a platform at the Pleasant Hill station on the morning of November 4th.

“This case smacks of racial profiling and selective law enforcement,” Burris said during the news conference.
