Here's a suggestion ... check out this comment (emphasis mine):

I know it's too late now, but I wonder what would have happened if all of the passengers had refused to let the police take the man off the train.

An incident, surely, but who knows?

Human history is full of official forces ganging up on one person, of bystanders watching, shaking their heads, but refusing to halt what is going on. It happened to Jesus, it happened to the kid in Florida who got tased.

What if we stopped standing by and watching?
