Brooklyn couple hauled off NYC ferry in handcuffs after refusing to wear masks

A Brooklyn couple was cuffed and hauled off a city ferry Saturday night after refusing to wear face masks — as other riders cheered their arrest, according to cops and video.

The middle-aged Bay Ridge pair spent 15 minutes on the NYC Ferry boat’s top deck arguing with workers over the captain’s order to put on a mask amid the pandemic when the vessel docked at Brooklyn Bridge Park around 8 p.m., Gothamist said, posting video of the encounter.

The angry couple — claiming they were being discriminated against because they are white — then went back and forth with two responding NYPD officers for another 45 minutes, while other riders shouted for them to get the boot so the ferry could continue on its way. There were 90 people aboard the vessel at the time, a source told The Post.

“If we were f–king black, I can guarantee you that guy would never come out and tell us put a mask on.”

Her husband, who only gave his first name, David, added, “Right, because Black Lives Matter.’’

Northwest Woodsman: Probably an accurate assumption. Negros get special consideration in all cases. Anyone else tired of this nonsense?

When the captain of the boat gives an order, it's not just a suggestion.

I'm not wearing a mask unless I absolutely have to go in a store for something, you all believers can kiss my ass

You are so wrong 12:19, they are thinkers. Unlike yourself. What kind of mask does it have to be? Would a burlap mask that you can almost see through satisfy this captain? This is all bullshit just to see how much citizens like you can be led around. Drink some more cool-aid 12:19, your almost there.
