Apparently, sitting on the floor in Brooklyn is against the law and, if you’ve got a baby in your arms, watch out!
A 23-year-old woman, Jazmine Headley, was at the Human Resources Administration building waiting in line for hours to receive daycare vouchers for her baby so that she could work. There weren’t any seats left in the waiting room, and as anyone who has had to care for a 1-year-old knows, it’s exhausting to stand for a long period of time holding a baby. So Headley sat on the floor.
Security told her sitting on the floor was not permitted, but Headley said without any available chairs she would continue to sit on the floor. She was not blocking any doorways or passageways, but that didn’t matter. According to Daily Dot (and as you can see in the video), police jumped all over her, tried to pry her baby away from her, and pandemonium broke out.
