The Writer Of The TV Hit Series 'The Bear' Gets Escorted Off A Train Because A White Woman Didn't Like The Way He Was Sitting

Alex O'Keefe, the award-winning screenwriter who is known for his work on FX's hit show, The Bear, shared in an Instagram post that he was pulled off an MTA train by police after a white woman complained about the way he was sitting.

"I was arrested on the @MTA train to Connecticut today, pulled off, handcuffed, and detained," O'Keefe wrote on Instagram.

His Instagram post includes four slides. The first slide is a video, where O'Keefe films law enforcement officers. In the video, he says, "You're gonna arrest the one Black dude on the train, because this white woman said she didn't like the way I was sitting on the train."

Alex O'Keefe, the writer, in his Instagram caption: "The police told me to leave the train, I refused and asked what was I doing illegally. They said I was disturbing the peace by not leaving the train. They pulled me off the train and arrested me without even talking to the Karen who reported the one black person on the train. On the platform, the police detained me and interrogated me. Only black folks stayed nearby and recorded the arrest. When I demanded a lawyer and reminded them they didn't even take a statement from the woman who complained they eventually released me. This country is growing more psycho by the day. What will you do about it?"
