Standing on a brightly lit, empty underground subway platform, a vulnerable pregnant nurse wearing blue medical scrubs held her belly and pleaded for a moment to rest. Instead of showing compassion, a female officer in a dark police uniform crossed her arms tightly and began shouting, demanding that she leave the station immediately. Just as the officer grew more aggressive, an older, hardworking transit employee in blue overalls walked down the platform. He stepped directly between them to protect the crying nurse. The officer’s harsh expression instantly turned into absolute shock and panic when she realized the deep personal connection between them.
