happyhedonist: A maintenance truck dropped a toolbox onto the lower deck. Someone picked it up to get it out of the right of way, put it on the railing, and left on their bike. Someone else saw *that* and thought they were "fleeing" and called the cops. Then all this shit happened.
Correction based on the Monday Roundup--it was an empty Trimet fare box. But the rest of the story remains. Good citizen clears path of obstruction, and thought to be terrorist.
