This Guy Gets It
But he doesn't want to rock the boat too hard:
An Illinois lawmaker who also serves as a police officer says Chicago’s new campaign posting signs on CTA trains and stations warning that violence is illegal is a positive step, but real improvements in public safety will require stronger enforcement and a greater law enforcement presence.
The CTA recently began displaying signs throughout its transit system reminding riders that violence is illegal.
In a video that gained traction on social media this week, Cook County State’s Attorney said the campaign is intended to deter crime and encourage witnesses to report criminal activity.
“We are putting up these signs as an indication of what the consequences will be to any fearful actions on the CTA,” Burke said. “We are hoping to deter crime and to encourage people to move forward if they are witnesses of a crime.”
State Rep. Patrick Sheehan, R-Lockport, who also serves as a police officer, said he appreciates the campaign’s message but questioned why such reminders are necessary. “I’m not opposed to the sign. I actually appreciate its forcefulness,” Sheehan said. “I just think it’s an absolute shame that these need to be posted in the first place.”
"Forcefulness"? It's a freaking sign. There's no "force" behind a sign. There need to be consequences, and that means substantial fines, jail time and for repeat assholes, prison.
It didn't "need" to be posted, but if you're looking for a reason, look no further than Crimesha Foxxx.

I guess signs are gonna stop crime now. It’s oh most laughable.
Western Springs voter here....
I have some extra "Hate has no home here " and Defund the Police " signs if anyone needs one.
How about a sign reminding passengers they need to pay
Congratulations to our leaders. Apparently they don’t ride the CTA.
Maybe the city should post signs on every street corner. That will stop the violence.
Out of over 700 comments to the video of our state’s attorney were any supportive?
She has posted her support of the Safe-T-Act …. That says it all.
CTA can start by making sure the fare's are paid to ride. Right now it's a system that lets the taxpayer pay the fare that's why the new tax was implemented.
Repeal SAFE-T and we don't need stupid signs like that!
The ferals can’t read signs. Even if they could read, we all know rules, laws, decent public behavior, anything that remotely resembles the 10 commandments, doesn’t apply to them.
Well, those signs did generate fat envelopes for many components... heh.
Forceful would be:
CTA: we ain't playing up in here so ya'll stop the boosh*et or we're cra*king skulls and sending ya'll to jail.
Pay, behave, ride, and shut the f up...
