OMFG almost the same thing happened to me. I recently picked up the 7800GTX from bestbuy and I took it out while I was at Penn Station to check out how cool it was. A random police officer ran up to me, karate chopped the 7800GTX into two, and stepped on it. Then he called the other cops to check my schoolbag, which had a x2 4800+ and also an ASUS SLI mobo. Needless to say, they both also got karate chopped. After it was all said and done, I got three tickets of 300 dollars for brining "suspicious" material into the subway. The NYC police are just dam stupid MFers.

You have no idea how hard it was not to burst out laughing at the office. 😀

Is he of Arabic descent? Maybe he fit the profile.

I'm sorry to say this, but sh!t happens. Get over it. Your only other choice is to kill yourself. That's the way the world is today, like it or not.

No, jemcam, the other choice is for citizens to take action to prevent their government from overstepping its authority.

And that's going to do what? Get more people arrested, that's all. Be realistic.

That sucks and would p!ss the hell out of me. Are you SURE you're not leaving anything out? Cuz I'd assume that a cop on the Subway would know what an mp3 player or IPOD look like these days.

But there will always be a number of people that are willing to 'sacrifice' a little inconvienence for their safety.

or is there something that your friend isn't telling you. you didn't say if you were there or not.
