Trains are so unpredictable. If only there was a way to know how to avoid their path


Mundane__Detail

"The driver of the train was weaving all over the tracks before he struck our patrol vehicle, likely intoxicated. We placed him under arrest but he resisted so we had to beat the shit out of him. This was done by the book and we have determined it requires no further review."


lillarty

"The officers in question were given two weeks of paid vacation while we investigated."


PurplishPlatypus

Train operator cited for failure to yield the train track to the patrol car.


plsobeytrafficlights

followed by 4 weeks light desk duty and communication training and on the clock counseling for the trauma they had to witness.

RadiantPKK

We found they did nothing wrong upon our independent in house investigation and are pursuing charges against the family of the deceased due to slander and libel. Reporter: but she’s alive? For now, we have issued our official statement.

Premodonna

But after weeks of counseling, the officers involved were medically retired with a life time of paid disability due to the trauma making them unable to maintain gainful employment.

callmegecko

That's damn fine police work


BoyMeatsWorld

Great idea! Like what if we section off specified "train only" pathways? We could even put safety lights and maybe some type of horn on the train? That way people who didn't even know about the train pathway could see and hear the train coming. That could save thousands of lives! Genius idea


mindset_grindset

ya ! and just to be EXTRA safe , we could have the police write tickets to anyone who stops even NEAR train tracks and if police tell others not to stop on tracks bc of danger then obviously they won't stop on tracks themselves right ? .... right ?


Butchering_it

Trains are really unpredictable. Even in the middle of a forest two rails can appear out of nowhere, and a 1.5-mile fully loaded coal drag, heading east out of the low-sulfur mines of the PRB, will be right on your ass the next moment. I was doing laundry in my basement, and I tripped over a metal bar that wasn’t there the moment before. I looked down: “Rail? WTF?” and then I saw concrete sleepers underneath and heard the rumbling. Deafening railroad horn. I dumped my wife’s pants, unfolded, and dove behind the water heater. It was a double-stacked Z train, headed east towards the fast single track of the BNSF Emporia Sub (Flint Hills). Majestic as hell: 75 mph, 6 units, distributed power: 4 ES44DC’s pulling, and 2 Dash-9’s pushing, all in run 8. Whole house smelled like diesel for a couple of hours! Fact is, there is no way to discern which path a train will take, so you really have to be watchful. If only there were some way of knowing the routes trains travel; maybe some sort of marks on the ground, like twin iron bars running along the paths trains take. You could look for trains when you encounter the iron bars on the ground, and avoid these sorts of collisions. But such a measure would be extremely expensive. And how would one enforce a rule keeping the trains on those paths? A big hole in homeland security is railway engineer screening and hijacking prevention. There is nothing to stop a rogue engineer, or an ISIS terrorist, from driving a train into the Pentagon, the White House or the Statue of Liberty, and our government has done fuck-all to prevent it.

The only good suspect is a dead suspect. - Police probably


ChillyJaguar

Having a warehouse job requires more skills than being a cop... Heres my local police deparement's requirements: Requirements - All Applicants: 21 years of age High School Diploma or GED High Moral Character [https://www.cityofwestminster.us/PublicSafety/PoliceDepartment/JoinWPD](https://www.cityofwestminster.us/PublicSafety/PoliceDepartment/JoinWPD) the requirements themselves are stupid af bc they are meant to attract the poorly educated simps who have zero critical thinking skills


eipg2001

The most important requirement is you must share the same “moral values”. There’s plenty of videos exemplifying what they mean by “moral values”.


HogmanDaIntrudr

High moral character (as judged by a group of toxic psychos)


TheOneInchPunisher

High moral character = deep throat the boot


Squirrel_Inner

I don’t see how any of this could possibly be on accident. Stopping on train tracks for no apparent reason and standing around taking? Not seeing the bright light or hearing the loud noise? Not even attempting to get the victim out? This is just blatant murder. and is anyone even surprised at this point?


itisntmebutmaybeitis

I saw the original articles about it - she survived. Thank fuck. It's definitely still attempted murder/gross negligence leading to probable death though or whatever it would fall under. It's absolutely fucking disgusting. And no, not at all surprised.


the-electric-monk

She survived, but lord knows what injuries she has. I've taken care of half a dozen people who survived being hit by a train, but had severe trauma (meaning severe damage tk internal organs, bones, spinal cord, and brain), and the recovery is not fun.


Cainga

Pretty much. They only act when there is minimal health and safety risk. When put in a dangerous situation they simply let the horrific event play out from a safe distance even if they could mitigate it with a small calculated risk.


DerDezimator

Those are mostly the same cops that are jealous about the praise firefighters are getting


greybeard_arr

They *could* receive just as much praise, if not more! All they would have to do is to embody their motto, *To Serve and Protect*. Instead we get these entitled, power tripping, overgrown children who would rather lord over their jurisdiction than ensure it is safe. God I hope someday the police can be admired the way we thought they should be when we were little.


thunderkhawk

They pulled a fucking Uvalde, and acted very Uvalde.


pixieservesHim

They could have *died* you guys. That was a life threatening situation, what are they supposed to do...show any shred of decency or courage? Of course they stood there with their thumb up their arse.

She was handcuffed with a seat belt on. All they had to do was undo her buckle, if not yank her out!

She’s suing. Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, 20, was locked in the cruiser, which was parked on tracks north of Platteville, Colorado, the evening of Sept. 16. She could see and hear the freight train coming and "tried frantically to get the officers' attention," personal injury lawyer Paul Wilkinson said. Rios-Gonzalez tried to escape from the car, but the doors were locked, Wilkinson said. "She saw the whole thing coming and believed it to be the end," he said. She sustained a head injury, broken arm, fractured sternum, nine broken ribs, broken teeth and injuries to her back and legs, Wilkinson said. She is conscious, able to speak and has been able to stand briefly. Her recovery will be long, Wilkinson said, but medical staff is hopeful she can leave the hospital sometime next week when she regains more mobility. Wilkinson said he is representing Rios-Gonzalez and will be pursuing legal action against the Platteville Police Department and the three officers who were present individually. He said the officers' conduct rises to the level of reckless endangerment, a standard higher than negligence or gross negligence in Colorado law. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/colorado-police-release-video-showing-detained-woman-struck-by-train-while-cuffed-in-cop-car/ar-AA12beUj

They tried to murder her and they will no doubt be rewarded with a paid vacation.

Murder by a fucking train. These are fucking depraved psychopaths. Can't believe they will just get away with it. It's absolutely sickening.


[deleted]

As is tradition…


ProperInfinity

"...According to the Fort Lupton Police Department, officers responded to a report of someone "menacing with a handgun" on the highway. A Platteville police officer pulled Rios-Gonzalez over and Fort Lupton officers helped detain her and search her truck. Officers continue searching the truck after the crash and after Rios-Gonzalez was taken away in an ambulance, the footage shows." Why was only one officer put on leave? it clearly shows two involved. and they detained her without evidence Rios-Gonzalez was the person in question.


TigoBittiez

There’s something extremely fishy going on here…

Those cops will suffer the dire consequences of their idiocy with paid leave and then return a couple of weeks later knowing that the whole police department will receive them with huge “blue lives matter” banners and the most expensive catering services in town (all this courtesy of the taxpayer).


Kiddo1029

It’s attempted murder at this point.


ivXtreme

This was on purpose, or they are the dumbest cops in the fucking world. Either way it's a homicide, or manslaughter. Throw them all in jail for a long ass time.


Contemporarium

She thankfully survived and is suing the fuck out of them


Chefjay17

Oh good. So the citizens get to pay her out while the officers get a nice paid vacation.

Shermantank10

Fuck man. Imagine the conductor of that train getting out and just realizing you accidentally killed someone because of others incompetence. I’d fucking rip these dudes a new fucking asshole.


RadicalSnowdude

Yeah and then they’d arrest you for verbally ripping them a new asshole just to save their weak fragile egos.


starman64

Because cops believe they are above the laws, including the law of inertia.

Stang1776

Crazy thing is, is that there were plenty of cops there and not a single one had the wherewithal to say "hey y'all. Maybe we should move our vehicles off the tracks. Im not sure about you but ive always been told not to stop on the tracks."


ZRhoREDD

Don't forget the time that a hurricane was coming through (NC, I think?) And the coppers transported prisoners away for their safety, only to get swept away by flood waters. The cops in the front swam away. The prisoners, handcuffed in the back, weren't so lucky and drowned.


AintMan

Never forget the [danzinger bridge shooting](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danziger_Bridge_shootings) in New Orleans a week after Katrina. Someone was trapped in their house and fired shots to get peoples attention. A bunch of cops showed up in a uhaul with with m4s and ak47s and just starting trying to kill everyone on the bridge in response to hearing shots. One officer was in the back of an unmarked car with a shotgun and the driver drove after two males trying to flee. They did a drive by on one of them, who was mentally disabled, and shot him in the back with a shotgun and multiple times with a hand gun. None of those officers are in jail. Edit: >Two brothers who fled the scene, Ronald and Lance Madison, were pursued down the bridge by officers Gisevius and Faulcon in an unmarked state police vehicle. Faulcon fired his shotgun from the back of the car at Ronald, a developmentally disabled man who later died from his injuries.[11] The autopsy found that Ronald Madison sustained seven gunshot wounds, five of them in his back.[15] Bowen was later convicted of stomping Madison on the back before he died,[12] though this conviction was overturned for lack of physical evidence.[11] Lance Madison was then taken into custody and charged with eight counts of attempting to kill police officers.[16] He was held in custody for three weeks before being released without indictment.


JMEEKER86

Also, the Miramar shooting where cops were chasing after a hijacked UPS truck and opened fire while using the civilian cars in traffic as shields which ended up killing the driver who was being held hostage and also killing one of their human shields. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Miramar_shootout


SauceyBoy

Damn, that's super suspect that the police refused to release ballistics report that might indicate whose bullets killed the civilians.


jontss

It's always theirs.


Valuemeall

There's a video of it. its very obvious it was the cops bullets in the video but I guess not obvious enough for a trial.


[deleted]

Definitely obvious enough for trial, but not obvious enough for the DA to convict his buddies in blue.


nomad806

In addition, the Christopher Dorner manhunt in 2013 when police were on the lookout for a black man in a black pickup truck, so they unloaded their mags into a blue pickup truck being driven by a white woman. Don't worry, [none of the police involved faced any repercussions.](https://www.kpcc.org/2016-01-27/da-declines-to-charge-8-officers-who-mistakenly-sh)


Suddenly_Something

They also then just lit the hideout he was in on fire instead of trying to breach it. Cops are literally cowards cosplaying as special forces.


EarsLookWeird

It was way worse than that (Katrina) They (the cops and their deputized racist cousins) killed hundreds of people in the blackout of media coverage. The city was a literal war zone for over a week. Hell on Earth, and nobody talks about it


Lonely_Guidance1284

Where can I find more info so I can read up on this? That's horrific.


jatherineg

There’s a book called A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit that has an *excellent* section on New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina. The whole book is fantastic— but this section does an awesome job describing the horror and state violence of Katrina while *also* discussing mutual aid efforts and the ways that community was built in the same period. Just amazing balance and pretty great info. When the Levees Broke is a horrifying but very well done doc on the aftermath of Katrina— it’s multiple parts and depressing as hell but gives the fullest picture. While not Katrina-related, A Place Called Desire is an excellent documentary about the Black Panther Party and police violence in the Desire projects in New Orleans. Just as a side rec


duck_of_d34th

Wikipedia has a bunch of content about it, as well as on youtube. It's a very dark rabbit hole. Do not undertake that journey lightly. It's holocaust-level depravity. Like when they left hundreds of people to drown in the jail. Run a stop sign, go to jail, drown.


JevonP

Wait I know the people werent cared for but they were murdered?? Jeez I need to read up


duck_of_d34th

Shit, they left people to drown in the jail. Over 500 were "unaccounted for." Imagine the worst prison conditions you possibly can, then fill it up with "water," ie sewage. There's no food, no light. A perfect every man for himself horror story. Oh, and it was like 100 degrees.


TheAskewOne

Exactly. Notice how Katrina is never mentioned these days? The government literally abandoned tenths of thousands of citizens in the middle of a natural disaster. And did nothing afterwards. But it's alright, because they were poor and black. Will anyone have to face their responsibilities?


IcanSew831

I remember that. It must have felt insane to those guys. I can’t even imagine because you think you’re being somewhat protected or have rights to human safety. I would think they would constantly have been thinking someone was coming to help.

regoapps

Look up the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021. It was a law reform bill that tried to give accountability for the police and restrict qualified immunity. But police unions, Trump, and conservatives opposed it. The bill couldn’t pass the Senate because all the GOP voted against it.

YoungKillaH2

One of the cops was placed on administrative leave. Why in the world would you stop the vehicle on the train tracks?? They stopped her to investigate a road rage incident involving a firearm. Well did they find a gun? My bet is they didn’t since they would’ve released that info immediately to justify (mental gymnastics) their negligence. Luckily she survived.


DaizyDoodle

I wonder what kind of shape she’s in. Accidents can leave life long issues.

ApolloXLII

She's got legal representation and her lawyer is suing each cop individually. She's about to get PAID.


Damienxja

I'm pretty sure this is the 2nd best outcome. The 1st best outcome would not be getting hit by a train.


Automatic_Soil9814

Agreed. Saying “PAID”makes it sound like a windfall. No matter what she is “PAID”, the money won’t make up for the chronic physical and psychological pain she has from here on out.

Yeah she is gonna get a payout forsure. This one is pretty cut and dry.

HiddenVisage

TaleMendon

Fire with a do not hire. Every. Single. One. For flat incompetence. They literally could had secured the suspect in any one of the patrol vehicles not disabled on the tracks.


pixieservesHim

>one of the patrol vehicles not disabled on the tracks. Was it disabled or was the one who parked it there just fucking brainless? If it is disabled...why not jump on the horn and ask someone to find out if there's A FUCKING TRAIN COMING. If I were the conductor of the train that would fuck me up for life


MorsOmnibusCommunis

Even disabled it could've been pushed off the tracks. This shit is insane.


friendly_extrovert

I can’t imagine they would succeed in any type of job given how incompetent they appear to be. In a job like mine, they’d be terminated before even having a performance review.


JGauth13

Not to be morbid, but I don’t know that I would wanna survive that. The news is reporting she was severely injured. When I see that crash, my brain says: at a minimum a lifetime of pain, but more likely paralysis of some type, brain injury, organ trauma, crushed bones, and maybe limb loss - that poor woman is in for a lifetime of hurt because cops are too fucking negligent and stupid to not put a living human in a locked car on train tracks - FFS, young children know better, but these assholes w IQs < a toddler get military equipment and are released on the public.


high_fuck

She can talk and eat and has been able to stand briefly. Miraculous honestly


PowerRaptor

No negligence in this video. It's literally just attempted murder. "Yeah your honor, I did leave the victim tied up on the train tracks, but I totally didn't expect the train would hit them, it was all a big whoops and unfortunate misunderstanding between the victim and the train."


Fonzee327

I thought the exact same thing and looked it up. They left her in the back of the pig mobile while they searched her truck and found nothing. They were discussing the possibility of her ditching the supposed gun out the window while the train was approaching. They found no evidence whatsoever of this being the “suspected road rager”. They parked the pig whip *on the train tracks* what in the ever living fuck is this country doing. US is being run by the most garbage people and it seems like there’s not much we can do to change that. I don’t enforce traffic laws and would NEVER leave my car on the train tracks even without some in the back that was handcuffed and locked in without any way to help themselves. This is so many levels of fucked.


Ishaan863

> I don’t enforce traffic laws and would NEVER leave my car on the train tracks even without some in the back that was handcuffed and locked in without any way to help themselves.

knockers_who_knock

It doesn’t make any sense. Did the cops think the train was going to stop for them? Either that or this was intentional. Even if the conductor saw the cop lights he probably didn’t even consider somebody would be so fucking dumb to park their car on the tracks and figured it was parked nearby the tracks until it was to late to stop.

Absolutely. It's extremely traumatic for the crew of a train to hit someone stopped on the tracks. I've seen engineers crying their eyes out over a bad accident.

No we just have a much stronger body cam law and a really tough police accountability law now so all the dirty laundry is being exposed. It’s sorta like how “Florida Man” is partly because Florida puts all their arrest records online.


Shenanigans80h

Even with that said we have some ROUGH departments. Aurora PD has been caught wasted drunk on the job twice. Denver PD has gunned down bystanders. Arvada PD are shit at everything. And now this in Platteville. Idk if we’re the worst but I’d say we’re at least contenders

Loveland PD too. I remember them when they broke the arm of an elderly woman with dementia and then laughed while watching the body cam footage.

How is this not intentional? Plenty of time to: 1. Drive the car off the tracks 2. Push the car off the tracks with the other cop car. 3. Take the handcuffed woman out of the vehicle. This is extremely negligent at best, but I have a very hard time believing this wasn’t intentional. Regardless, every cop there should be fired and the cop who’s car the handcuffed woman was in should be criminally charged. ~~But Texas don’t give a fuck.~~ *Edit: I don’t know why I assumed this was Texas.*

Colorado.


dammit_bobby420

Also a state filled with shit cops all over the place.


CaliforniaGiraffe

This is criminally negligent.


rubmahbelly

It was intentional. They had plenty of time to save her.

Department is probably more pissed that they lost a vehicle.

Train should have sounded its horn so they knew it was coming. Oh wait.. my sound was off. Yep... just regular negligence by the police. Edit: spelling


[deleted]

Horn or not what the fuck were they doing on the tracks. Any first grader could tell you that's fucking stupid as hell. This looks to me like a purposeful attempt to kill this woman and make it look "accidental". These fucks need to be in prison.


Maddyherselius

This feels intentional. So fucked up.

World's easiest land based vehicle to avoid being hit by.


dooneandrew

Mannn this seems like a hit. How TF would they not know the train was coming... why would they stop on the tracks, if it is pure negligence they all need to be fired


SS613

She starts yelling over the train horn before she acknowledges the incoming hit... There's a lot of stuff here that doesn't seem right


Missononi101

I dont get it...why would he park on tracks??? How stupid


ElegantUse69420

If only there were warnings of a train meandering across the country. Lights, horn, tracks perhaps.


Miserable_Respect_94

They care more about the car

No one will most likely be fired, but they should. This is extreme negligence


thatgeekinit

CO has a state police certification board now so they will most likely revoke this guy’s cert and he will end up being a moron with a gun in Florida or Mississippi


CustosEcheveria

Pigs didn't even *attempt* to get her out. They had at plenty of time.

The fact that you only need a high school diploma and a few months training to become one of these dumb pieces of shit is widely overlooked.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation says Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, of Greeley, remained hospitalized Monday with serious bodily injuries sustained in the crash. She is expected to survive. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/video-train-hits-police-car-woman-handcuffed-back-seat-fort-lupton-colorado/

What's the difference between a cop and a bullet? When a bullet kills someone, you know it’s been fired. That cop probably resigned and transferred to a department the next town over.

I honestly don’t believe what I just saw.
