A Washington, D.C.-based author may lose her book deal after she tweeted a photo of a Metro transit system employee defying the system’s own rules, tucking into a huge breakfast while riding on the train.
Natasha Tynes tweeted a photo of the employee, who is black, and tagged the Washington Area Metropolitan Transit Authority (WMATA), asking why the employee was being allowed to eat on the train when WMATA heavily polices the rule in both its stations on and on its vehicles. Just a year ago, the WMATA transit police, for example, arrested a teenager for standing on a platform with a bag of chips and a lollipop.
