Yeah that’s pretty complicated, I was just laughing at my own us-centrism for a moment. I’m still kinda pissed at our transit here, though.
Like, here, Minneapolis alone has several different agencies running in it (several precints of normal cops, transit cops, park cops. River cops.) not to mention “hosting” several agencies for suburbs. Any cops in the state can do things in the city.
Edit: also, holding the light rail train over a 2 dollar fare for an hour is exactly something the transit cops would do.
