discussion Colorado police left arrested woman in car parked on train track hit by train

[Communion]

Quote

Dramatic police video shows the moment a freight train struck a police patrol vehicle with a 20-year-old woman handcuffed in the back seat. CBS Colorado reports the Fort Lupton Police Department provided the station with 8 minutes of edited video from the incident.

 

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.

 

Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to a report of a road rage incident involving a firearm in Fort Lupton on Friday evening. A Platteville police officer stopped Rios-Gonzalez's car just past a set of railroad tracks and parked the patrol vehicle on the crossing.

 

She was placed in the back of the police vehicle, which was hit by the train as officers were searching her car.

 

The Denver Post reported Monday that the Platteville Police Department had placed one of the officers involved on paid administrative leave. Police Chief Carl Dwyer, in an email to the newspaper, didn't disclose the officer's name and declined to answer other questions about the traffic stop and crash.

How ******* stupid do you have to be to park on train tracks 

[ThehushSound]

Some Dumb F U C K S better get their asses fired who the **** is stupid enough to park on the train tracks?!? Imagine a majority of Americans don't see anything wrong with the state of its police force.

Why does this almost look like it was done on purpose? Like who in their right mind PARKS ON TRACKS?? 

[CottageHore]

Fired? Jail! Are you ******* kidding me?

 

How are these imbeciles hired to protect people and enforce the law and break the law themselves, parking on train tracks, mind you- with a suspect in the vehicle while they’re safe and out of it?

 

Every day I’m reminded of how useless most cops are. They’re literally hiring rats. 
 

How didn’t she die? I hope she recovers. 
 

edit: PAID administrative leave? They nearly murdered somebody and completely destroyed the company’s property as well as the property of whoever owns the train. They should be fired and in jail.

The most shocking thing about this video is HOW LATE they notice the train. It’s light is clearly visible and it’s laying on the horn for the first couple seconds and they didn’t notice it? Trains can be heard from a ways away even when they’re not using the horn, plus it’s night time so the light is always on. Those two morons need to be thrown in jail for being brain dead.

This f*cking phrase drives crazy when I read it. It should say "vacation" because that's all it is.

Uhhh… this sounds like you think it was an accident. Personally I think it was very much on purpose, both to get the woman killed in a way they wouldn’t have to face accountability for (the officer is getting paid leave) and probably trying to get insurance to pay out for the ruined car.

Was the office searching an abandoned police car with the woman in it? 
 

Or was he the same guy who parked it?

Protests won’t happen because Biden is president as the most pro-police person ever to be elected and Americans are complacent.

I- wtf

Throw that cop in jail for life and sue the **** out of him.
