The railroad track is always a good way to tell if you’re parked on a railroad track.
Yep, that and the big white crossed sign that says "RAILROAD CROSSING". How did they miss this illuminated sign? Reading is fundamental.
Or the big Railroad Crossing sign.
this would have happened if Trump was still the president
🤣🤣🤣👍
@@Hackedidealwhat?
If this officer's situational awareness is so dull, she not only is a danger to herself, but everyone around her.
No kidding.
Not just her...All of them were incompetent. All cops generally are.
To the public. ✅💯
exactly. she shouldnt even have a weapon, let alone a badge.
They call that the Ponytail Police. They have to be hired but place everyone's lives at risk.
I just cant believe the woman survived this, it is a miracle.
It's doubtful she will ever be the same, but she survived.
Yup, I am still here lol
@@karlasnyder645If it’s you then you are a lucky lucky lady
@@karlasnyder645 And thank _God_ for that!
@@karlasnyder645 You had a similar experience with police?
The amount of "excuses" of "I didn't see any warnings" or "i had no idea a train comes through here" is astonishing. How clueless can you really be?
Not observant enough to be cops, but I'm sure they are still working.
Any excuses and being a cop they all believe her excuses
They're not clueless. They know what they did. They're just trying to stay out of jail by lying.
This shows how incompetent and stupid some of these police officers are!!
They are cops. That’s your first clue
Every officer at the scene needs to be held responsible, not just the officer who placed the woman in the car.
Everyone who played any role was......guess watch it again?
In the original full unedited video, I could swear the Sargeant told her to put the suspect in his car. But now you don't see it in the edited versions.
It's the suspects responsibility to wriggle out of their handcuffs, kick open the window, and escape from the stuck car and do a ninja roll to the side of the train tracks so they can avoid the train and the car before it gets hit and turns into a crumpled soda can
And people wonder why protesting and rioting happens. Change doesn’t happen through youtube comments.
@@broncotrollyyeah because burning down business that have nothing to do with police shootings and stealing TVs does 😂 keep walking that yellow brick road
This isn’t just “my bad”; this is gross negligence and it nearly killed somebody. Hold them accountable.
Right
You haven't heard? They investigated themselves and found themselves innocent.
oi am sure, she wouldnt care if she been killed....she is a cop, they dont care for civilians!!
Sounds like the ex cop who stabbed his best friend to death.The cop owed him money.He stabbed him 40 times .Even after he was dead.He said:I'm a good person l just had a lapse in judgement
That person’s safety is in their hands ! They should have kept her safe period!
After that accident, that cop was more concerned about finding a gun he thought she had in her car rather than getting her help
OMG SERIOUSLY??!!! That is absolutely disgustingly insane! I need to find that whole video or as much as possible... If you have any ideas of key words I should use to try to pull it up... This is the first I've ever heard of this so idk anything to try to find more on it. If you know what it's under could you please let me know... I can't believe this & i just can't even find the words to express how crazy fu€ked up this is excuse my language but damn...
Right in a right to carry state.
@ht3261
It's In Here (CZcams) Type 👇
8-minute video shows Officer response, train hit woman in Platteville police car.
🎯AWFUL!!!!! And they are just now going to trial!!! 😒😩
@@ht3261 A cop was standing near the car and ignored the train horns but jumped away just before the car was crushed. That cop and the one who locked her in the car are being sued by the victim. They all should have been banned from being cops anywhere ever. I am not convinced this was a for real accident. The prosecutor got extremely light sentences for them.
I don't see any misdemeanors. Looks like attempted murder to me. Why aren't these idiots in jail already?!
The check from the police union cleared the prosecutor's bank account.
How does someone not notice that they parked on a railroad track!? Its a miracle this woman survived
What always gets me mad is how the case is treated in situations where the person “is lucky to be alive”! If they’re lucky to be alive, shouldn’t the person who tried to unalive them have a more serious charge. Luck should not have anything to do with it. If statistics say she should have died, charge them with murder!
Omg sue them
Right !! Like how!!!!
@@downhomesunsetI agree completely. The fact that she survived shouldn’t change the severity of the charge.
most cops pull folks over on the busiest streets, its the lowest IQ thing they can do and waste of time for folks just trying to get to work OR go home.
They nearly kill her, and still arrested her for a misdemeanor? These people are heartless. They need to rot in jail.
She pointed a gun at someone. They called 911. Cops came, cops made mistakes. She made mistakes. Shit happens when you attract law enforcement
She's being charged with felonies not misdemeanors
General population for a few years would do it
Prison dumbass Prison not Jail
It's not even remotely heartless.. the cop is just an idiot.
U slow or something?? The arrest happened before the incident. She was on ICU not in prison.
It's against the law for anyone to stop on railroad tracks let alone park on them! The police write tickets all the time for that! They act so privileged stopping in the middle of streets, blocking the road while they casually chat with each other. Parking on the tracks,leaving the vehicle and with a cuffed suspect in it shows their clear disdain for the woman. 😡
That they tried to say "I couldn't tell there were tracks" when the signs and the tracks themselves are perfectly clear is nuts, not to mention they would have been stepping over them while walking.
Insanity.
Restraining someone and leaving them in the path of an oncoming train is literally cartoonish villainy.
Serving and protecting.
I’m surprised she wasn’t twirling a mustache in the witness box
Even Looney Tunes characters wouldn't have done this! #stupidcops
It just seems like there’s 10 billion people on earth so there just mathematically HAS TO be someone dumb enough to do this, who then actually does it. Like Matt orchards video, people try to pet tigers sometimes.
LMAO
Don't forget the insane PTSD this woman will live with the rest of her life. Physical injuries may heal but experiencing the helplessness of an approaching train slamming into her is going to haunt her forever... These officers are monsters for not taking accountability for this...
I am so disgusted. My father in law was an L. A. cop. His son an i divorced, but i never met a kinder more level headed human in my life- in the 50+years I knew Ken, i never heard him swear or cuss. He would have jumped in that car and covered her with his own body .. that police caring a RIFLE! against a 21 yr.old petite female + multiple cops .. maybe they should relook and who's doing the hiring..
Now she'll just rage against the machine (train).
Well, let’s hope that 1 bazillion dollars she will be receiving helps with her rehabilitation…
this helplessness is on another level. Its on thing to be on train tracks with a train coming, and your doors wont open. Its a whole nother thing being handcuffed, train on its way, and there are not just people, but police officers(multiple) standing just outside the car.... help is literally feet away.. and nothing.
The nightmares she must have
That railroad crossing sign was pretty clear to me. Every light there was reflecting off it.
They both need to be fired and charged.
There is absolutely no doubt the officers knew they were on the train tracks. There is literally a railroad crossing sign right in front of both vehicles!! Not to mention they arrested the person 5 feet past them before putting her into the police car! Stop making excuses for your incompetence!
I agree with you 1000% even a monkey would know that this MORON cop is lying about not knowing that she parked her patrol car in the middle of train tracks I truly hope this idiot cop gets at least 20 yrs in prison
Can you imagine trying to explain to an insurance company that you didn’t know you parked on railroad tracks?
How many times have people tried to get out of a speeding ticket saying I didn’t know that’s the speed.
Sorry but ignorance only indicates you shouldn’t be giving a driver licence
That cop was more worried about her makeup and hair. Reminds me of that female cop that got caught sleeping with half the police department recently. Of course, she racially profiles the victim. A gun fight was going to happen????? That cop needs to be jailed. Not just misdemeanor charges. Stop giving female cops a slap on the hand. Look up what "pretty privilege" is. Cis females get a lot of it sadly.
How do you not see the sign we can all on video
Well I saw the video that isn't shown here and let's not forget to add the cops we're laughing and acting just fine after the car was hit, continuing to search her truck. Smh. If I can find that video, ya'll need to play it too. Show the actions of these heartless people. They're people, and they're sick! I believe it's EWU channel that had that video.
I have never been shocked as much as I have been watching this video. Please hold the officers accountable.
Right, handcuffed suspect in the car, second officer runs away from the oncoming train wielding a rifle for what reason???? There was no resisting arrest currently happening, the situation was under control, I'm not sure who he was planning on killing that night. He certainly didn't have a tazer drawn to disable anyone cuffed that tried to run; he was out for human.
Go watch the cops tasering a kid into roadkill video.
I saw it the night it happened online & I thought something was off with the whole thing from the get go!
@@Rodogg7787I have peripheral neuropathy and I can feel the vibration of the ground, many yards from the track, when the train is a mile away. I can hear the rumble at least as far away.
She was screaming and kicking the window, and no one could hear anything? They couldn't feel or hear the train? Or her trying to kick out a window?
That smells funny.
They won’t be. Policing in America is systemically FUCKED UP
The sentence needs to be the same as it would for a parent that leaves a kid in a hot car
Why did the cop think there would be a gunfight? Unbelievable
theyre lying for legal reasons. theyre trying to sell the self defense/fear for life story. trying to make is seem like this affected their judgement about the location of the train and situation
the female officer on trial said there was no reflective signs or indications of a railway but there was literally a stop sign and a post saying rail crossing (at 1:44) even multiple signs indicating there was train tracks but regardless, they had their flashlights on and the blue and red lights flashing how could they not see it!? ALL need to be held responsible.
Cause she wanted to try and get out of it. That's fine she still has to deal with the court of public opinion (I love using that since spiderman). And trust me, this court is more brutal than any other and will actively hunt you.
I agree. From the footage we were shown how could you not see all of that?!
I wish I could be a fly on the wall of that courtroom when the District Attorney cross examines her about her on this topic. 😂
@@UsmanBello oh she's already been arrested and fired I think
She saw the signs. She's just lying to try to get off.
This is ridiculous to see police officers just neglect the safety of the citizens that they have the responsibility to protect.
How can she say she couldn’t see. I can clearly see the car is on the track when she pulls behind the police car on the tracks.
Forget the citizens. Who the HELL parks on train tracks!???!
Incorrect. The police has No Duty to protect you. Look up the Supreme Court case Gonzalez Vs. Castle Rock, Co.
😂 are you new?
@@calvingaston7934
Let's assume she was right and they really couldn't see. I saw the entire video when this happened. The problem I have is that there was a good 30 second period from the time they FINALLY woke up and realized they were on the train tracks until the moment of impact. All one of them had to do was jump in the car and drive it 10 feet forward. THAT'S IT! Just 10 feet and all of this would have been averted.
Now I can hear some people say, "But they couldn't tell how far away the train was. It was dark and noisy and scary." And to that, I say, 1. they created the problem in the first place, it's their job to fix it. 2. it's their duty to not put people they arrest at risk and most importantly, 3. it's their job to not be cowards. It's the whole reason why cops make the money they make and get life-long pensions with nothing more than a high school degree and less training than it takes to get through beauty school!
At the moment where they were supposed to show their character, they all thought, "Welp, I hope she lives, but I'm not risking my life!"
Who parks like that? EVER EVER EVER!
I'm a railroader... the cop is a liar!
I'm with You Bud. only Idiots ignore safety signs at railroad crossings
Seriously, who would ever do that knowing it’s an active line? This isn’t an accident, this is blatant stupidity. No one this inept should even be in a position of authority 🤦🏻♀️
Blatant stupidity! I can't believe that happened. Poor woman. Smh!
Well, fire fighters with the Detroit Fire Department a few years ago parked a firetruck 🚒 on a double set of railroad tracks while responding to a car accident.
An Amtrak came along and destroyed the truck.
The truck was less than a month old!
No it wasn’t. It was an attempt to have her killed.
This was done purposely, I'm 100% sure, it was not a mistake.
Maybe it's finally time to abolish police academy "IQ maximums"?
Can you imagine being handcuffed in the back on a car you can’t get out of and seeing a freight train coming at you full speed…something out of a horror movie
Exactly!
I think they need to be fired and go to jail in prison.
They had time to move the car and get her out
There is a person who took part in the accident but is overlooked in this trial:
The locomotive-driver.
Such an accident can kill the locomotive-driver or lead to a trauma.
Such an accident can also cause the locomotive to get off the rails and crash with 1.000 tons load into the environment.
Therefore any modern nation has a special law about „endangering rail road traffic“, a felony for everyone who places an obstacle on a rail roads.
I‘m wondering wether these Cops are charged with that.
And they should loose their driver license too.
Why would Anyone park on a railroad track?! Those officers should have known better. That poor woman 😢
American cops for you.
isnt that the first thing they teach in drivers ED in high school ?
The officers know better-They fail to care.
When your trained that you can do anything with impunity, you start to believe it.
They are used to positioning their cars to block off roads and creating "tactical barriers" with a certain supreme egoism wherever they respond that I believe this cop parked on the tracks literally intending to block the train.
Cops like these lead me to believe cops make mistakes and really don't care how that mistake affects you. They only care when it affects them.
Huh ?
yup! because they are selfish pricks who got picked on as kids and now they are the bullies to the world
She should've been fired
Because lawsuits don’t come out their pensions.
@@lifeisbeautiful7452 maybe it's about time they do... at least a percentage of their pension should be on the line
Her situational awareness is next level.
past level
Its a miracle she is alive. I hope she is doing well.
The levels of incompetence and recklessness in people in positions of authority is beyond staggering !!
You wanna know the worst part? This situation won’t be the last of its kind.
Exactly
@@josephcalabrese6337yep unfortunately
When they realize they fucked up... they stick up for each other like a corrupt fraternity.
@@oldschoolfan420 are you talking about cops or braindead republikkkan morons...I know, no difference.
Not realizing that the other cop parked on the tracks. Is instantaneous guilty admission. Absolutely NEGLIGENCE
She needs to be jailed for these 2 charges.
She should lose her job and drivers license
As a former law enforcement official the last place you want to park a patrol vehicle is on train tracks. And for a misdemeanor offense the woman should have been given a notice to appear in court to answer the charges levied against her. Now granted every state in jurisdiction has different laws so that's taken into account.
But duty and care to a prisoner was not taken into account. As a result or party should be fired from the department. Civil and medical damages need to be paid.
Imagine placing someone in front of a train by force to die and being charged with a misdemeanor 🤷🏻♂️
And to be throw on the streets while fighting the lawsuit to fix my health and life they ruined and took from me
Hey at least they were concerned about officer safety. 😂
Military and law enforcement is definitely the job if you want to kill ppl without punishment
This is truly sickening. F**k you American justice. Only looking out for pigs 🐽
YUP. THAT SHIT ID ATTEMPED MURDER
the fact that those cops aren’t thrown in jail already says a lot about cops and their immunity.
Everyone gets due process. She's definitely going to jail tho
It’s the system that protects them. Just thinks if the cops were black they would be in jail already
Former LEO. You're on point.
This was an obvious attempt at an execution. Seriously, what cop let alone ANY PERSON parks on railroad tracks. Somebody paid this cop to arrest the woman and execute her. She couldn't kill her in a shootout so she was going to let the train do the killing.
@@thomasjoseph5876 This crazy idea crossed my mind too but they're on camera. Multiple cameras. You can't come up with a good enough excuse for deliberately doing all those things.
cop: "train coming... i better step back."
Hindsight is 20-20, but if you can clearly see the signs and indicators of where the train can go, then it becomes the definition of negligence.
It is sickening how much the court system protects these cops. She’s not going to get any real punishment for her damn incompetence that literally could’ve killed that girl. It is so damn corrupt
You are delusional and mentally ill. You have no idea what the court is going to do.
It's sickening that only one cop is facing felony charges and it isn't the cop that put the car on the tracks.
It's how the Christian Republicans want things.
It's how the Christian Republicans want things.
They had to place the car on the train track for officer safety.
What part of RAIL ROAD CROSSING, STOP SIGN AND RAIL ROAD TRACKS do these officers not understand!? They must be held accountable for their actions as well as their non-actions of not yanking this poor woman out of the vehicle! They need to go to jail for a very long time. My prayers for the quick recovery of this poor victim.
Not to mention a loud train horn and train tracks directly under the entrance of the door where she placed her in the car.
I was just about to type the same thing. I can understand the officer not seeing the actual tracks themselves, but not the stop sign and especially not the railroad crossing sign (which is highly reflective). There's no way she didn't understand there was a train track there. And if she truly is that unobservant, then she definitely should not be a cop.
Guy so engrossed in "authority" he probably thought a train would stop for him.
“It was really dark and didn’t see the rail road…”
Video proceeds to show a rail road crossing sign, the track and hearing a train in the distance. I hope they get the book thrown at them.
C'mon, they knew and didn't freakin care. It's all about their lives and NOT ours. I hope she can get part of their pay for life! Instead they are gonna settle with tax payer dollars for their incompetence. This has to stop with OUR money.
That's Insanity!!! Signs everywhere railroad crossing!!!!
neglagent homicide attempt - attempted murder - should serve 20+ years for her indifference
So that cop thinks she can just get on the stand and cry her way out of accountability? They all need to be convicted!
Right 😡
I hate to say it, but absolute woman cop moment. "Taser taser taser!" Oops... it was a train, not a taser...
She even threw another officer under the bus by saying she thought his car was in a safe location purposely mentioning his name to shift blame. I don’t believe those crocodile tears. The victim deserves justice.
She said "I never thought in a million years that a train would come through my scene".
I pretty sure the railroad tracks are the trains scene.
This is horrifying! Imagine what the woman was thinking as she sat there helplessly 😢
She probably thought she was going to die. 😆👍
imagine imagining things
I saw the video of her arrest, she BEGGED them not to put her in the car... She TOLD THEM it was on the train tracks.
And they would have shot her if she managed to get out of the car when the train was coming.
@@warmccl Probably.
I've never heard an apology from any of the officers involved
Still charged too. If it was an officer she would have gotten a parade and tv spots , radio spots... but it was just another citizen, not a holier then thow police officer Saint!!
The fact that Steinke immediately started yelling, “oh my god!” and swearing as soon as she heard the train blow it’s horn tells you she KNEW the car was parked on the tracks.
Right! And what a fool she is to park her expensive taxpayer funded police car on the railroad tracks to begin with. How do people this stupid get hired as cops?
Exactly 💯
Or she just found out.
HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU MISS ALL THOSE TRAIN SIGNS PLUS THE DAMN TRACKS
They didn't miss anything. They wanted to see what is was like to see a young girl crushed to death. They are psychopaths.
That part
Not just see the tracks, but you can hear the train. There was nothing for miles around, they should have seen the headlight on the train.
@@Sherwoody The police deliberately put her on the tracks and probably knew a train was due. The DA as they expected made sure they got off lightly.
@@Sherwoody This is why the released bodycam is so chopped up. I'm sure the train horn can be heard on the bodycam long before it arrives. The complete lack of situational awareness is clear for every officer at that stop.
She’s needs to be held accountable”personally” accountable, not the tax payers.
that officer said she didn't know there was a train track there...what hell...that body cam showed it quiet well....
Only one person facing charges? All those cops present knew what was going on, that’s terrible that they go unpunished.
At the end, they said the other cop has the same charges
@@lennaedaley8676Not the same charges… only misdemeanors
Pay attention
The traffic stop itself was illegal. They were searching her truck to “find evidence” to cover they first crime. This is why there were in such a hurry and forgot about the train tracks.
@@TheSiriusEnigma Tell me you have no idea what you're talking about without telling me you have no idea what you're talking about.
@@tyf.4399He's right and you're wrong. The body cam footage has been out and covered for several months at this point. It was a justified stop, possible 4th amendment violation for cuffing her and putting her under arrest given the nature of the crime she had committed (akin to being arrested for illegally parking), and then they searched her car to justify it, which was definitely a 4th amendment violation when one cop said to the other that they weren't sure if she ditched a weapon out of the car. So someone here has no fucking clue what they are talking about and it's you 🤡
This wasn't only traumatic for the woman in the car, but the train driver too. These cops didn't even make an attempt to pull her out ,the guy just hightailed it outta there.
Absolutely dumbfounding
Right?! You can hear the conductor BLOWING the horn over and over! They didn't think in that 30 to 60 second time frame to just run over grab her and get her out of the car before it hit??? Everyone hears when a train is coming, yeah it's fast, but you still have about a minute. ALL THOSE COPS and not a SINGLE one could just get her out of the car? The conductor should be compensated for his trouble's as well.
Not only high tailed it out, but made sure all the other cops were well away from the point of impact by shouting, "get back!" Not only did he NOT attempt to rescue her, he ACTIVELY tried to stop others from doing so. The victim heard all this, for sure.
The train company have their own lawsuit. Even cops aren’t allowed to park in train tracks.
You would have done the same thing. It's called human nature and self preservation. 99 percent of folks would do the same. With ONE exception....if it was your child. It is what it is.
So why did she pull her over if she was out of her jurisdiction?
What about all the people that told that officer “ I didn’t realize I was speeding “ ???? Now she’s in the extreme hot seat and wants leniency and mercy. I say lock her lock for a lifetime. The rest of the police charge them all the same. Lock up every officer on scene. The negligence of these cowards is unacceptable. That lady officer told the court “ I thought this stop was going to end up in a gun fight “ these police hope every stop turns into a gun fight. Picture this, if a police office was hit by a train and a civilian causes it, that person would be charged with these charges. Just cause she’s a police officer doesn’t give her any power over the law. I’d recommend life with out the possibility of parole.
Crazy how she pulled over, allowed them to arrest her without resistance, then gets blamed for the cops stopping on the tracks. Does anyone out there hold themselves accountable?
When was she blamed? Dumbas
I’d be curious as to why in the world there was some thought of, “I was fairly certain that this was going to end with a gunfight”.
@@jimmyrichards5595 I'm more curious as to how you can walk across railroad tracks and then claim you didn't even know they were there.
@@davidgray8089 I've honetly never lived near a train, or taken one. Do the tracks blend in?
@@Doge10YTNo, you know they are there unless you are very stupid.
That lady's settlement is going to be very large and rightfully so! How stupid can you be? Apparently very! Put both officers in jail where they belong!
$$ ain’t worth the lifetime of health issues… she deserves at least what she’s suing for but f*cked-up taxpayers pay 100%, not these ignorant bastards that nearly ended this young woman.
And tax payers we be paying it
@@gr8dvd Right!! I’m sure if she could pick, she would have much rather not been HIT BY A TRAIN - over the money. She deserves every penny, I truly can’t imagine how horrifying that must have been. They should make these criminals pay back tax payers with every cent they make in prison labor for the rest of their lives.
@@minoltaaraya End ‘qualified immunity’ = license for cops to do stupid & often illegal sh*t with impunity. This ain’t a red/blue thing.
At this point, I would fire the hiring manager for the Police depth, used to the ones that get in that position were competent enough to keep away that level if incompetence.
End qualified immunity and this type of behavior will end!!!🤬🤬 . My heart goes out to this young lady
Was it just me, or was the lights from the police car making the railroad sign posted by the tracks show as clear as day
Just the fact that she is lying on the stand about not knowing there were railroad tracks says it all. Only a guilty person lies about something so blatantly obvious.
I just keep over looking at the railroad sign right next to the woman as she’s being arrested 🤦🏽♂️ like hmmmm it’s clearly an X and it’s being illuminated very brightly. And there’s only one sign that’s an X. But sure. They didn’t know they were on tracks
And she has the nerve to take an oath on the Bible before becoming a cop . But lie on the Bible for because they’re afraid of the consequences. 🤥👺 . Some integrity.
The victim must demand punitive damages in the civil case.
Or to mention she admitted she was out of her jurisdiction. FAIL on all levels.
and yet this person enforces the law.......
Accountability is so rare these days, it’s like people are allergic to it.
Not just these days. Officer's absolutely refuse to accept any accountability and always have.
yea people basically just say why bother with accountability if you can just shrug it off 🤷
People have never liked to take accountability for anything. Human behavior doesn’t change only the situations.
Have you noticed when you catch people making mistakes they typically don't apologize?
Not people, WOMEN are allergic to it! WOMEN!!
Every time a cop screws up, it's the same story. "I didn't know what they would do. I thought it would be a gun fight. I was scared for my life, and miles outside my jurisdiction (i don't know how that's supposed to help her, if anything it supports why she shouldn't have been there). Something something something split second decisions, something something something and the totality of the circumstances, the only logigal choice was to put the prisoner in the car parked on the train tracks." And they'll probably get excused and apologized to for taking up their time with this.
Clearly, he didn’t mean to do that, but that’s unforgivable. You can’t make that kind of mistake.
Please don't let them get away with this.
Well if its like that, hope they bring the charges back up on the pancake lady for threatening someone with a gun.
She’s in 30month probation now with 100hrs of community service 🙄
The cop got 12 months of unsupervised probation. They let him get away with it.
@ditoo how much farther do you need that boot shoved down your throat???
Just another one that could of been removed from the gene pool....Dam...
She will do and say whatever is necessary to protect herself. She couldn't see the tracks or Railways cross- bucks, is totally unbelievable.
Right like you most certainly felt driving and parking onto the middle of the fucking tracks
she walked on them ! she could literally feel them !
That is bull. You didn’t know that the car was parked on the railroad tracks. You should’ve went to jail too.
Again that’s bullshit that the officer is standing in front of back and close enough to see the sign on the left-hand side hundred percent negligence. I hope she goes to prison for the rest of your life.
If there was ever a textbook example of "reckless endangerment of life", this would be it.
100%
Look down to see if you are on train tracks. There was a sign to indicate that. The woman has a right to sue the police department. The police officer was in the wrong, period. 🤦♀️
They both are.

@@HKona7An alleged misdemeanor from almost a year ago makes her a "criminal?"
The amount of fear she experienced seeing that train coming and knowing she could do nothing is torture within itself. They should be forced to hear a recording of her account of how she felt in that car with no one helping her, but rather running away from the car like cowards.
Probably defecated. I bet anyone would have. Dumb of her to not pull further past the tracks when she got pulled over, too. I am not sure what I would have done as the officer. Probably would have pulled off road on the same side of the tracks as the perp to maintain enough distance in a gun fight. I bet that situation will be taught in future LEO classes.
@@jmfs3497First of all, gross. No one was asking for weirdly specific details when it comes to bodily fluids. Secondly, don't make excuses for the officers. The woman's injuries are on the officers, not her. It's hard to believe officers could be stupid enough to park on railroad tracks and then proceed to place someone in handcuffs into that very vehicle. These officers are obviously too stupid to work in law enforcement.
@@jmfs3497😂
@@jmfs3497 officer’s typically would have used the intercom saying “pull foward further from the tracks” they’ve used the intercom when I was younger to get us out of the car after a police chase and then when I was a teen they also used it to get my friends and I out of the car on another chase
@@cole12052Two police chases? When they say kids should get out more, I don’t think that’s what they meant.
That female officer didn't give two s**** about the safety of that suspect. She was more worried about looking for a gun in the car.
I'm sorry.
But you can clearly see it's a railroad track. I'm forty one years old and the first thing I was talking or one of the first things I was talking about driving was you never stop on a railroad track. The male officer has just as much capability as the female officer, if not more for parking his cruiser on a railroad track.And also being a public safety official at the same time? That's just ridiculous.
Every driver knows not to stop on RRtracks. Unbelievable, especially for law enforcement.
Right! Unbelievable!!!!
Well, the cops apparently knew not to be in that car writing the citation......
The call they pulled her over for was, road rage involving a firearm, so kind of not at fault for that in the moment. That said as soon as the 'suspect' was handcuffed they should have moved the police vehicle off the tracks.
@@Wintercide It should have never been on teh tracks in the first place.
I remember this story WELL and saw the full video numerous times. Here's the problem I have. Even if we are to believe EVERYTHING the cops said, there was about a 30 second period from the time they FINALLY woke the f*!k up til the moment of impact. All they had to do was get in the car and drive it 10 feet off of the tracks. 10 FEET! People always say being a cop is difficult and dangerous. THOSE ARE THE MOMENT WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE!!! Instead, every single one of them thought, "Welp! Hope she lives, but I'm not risking my life for her!"
Obviously, they should back up the Brinks truck and pay this woman whatever she wants for pain and suffering. For the rest of her life, just hearing a train horn is going to make her freak out. This is why there needs to be higher standards to be a cop. All of them together didn't have enough common sense to say, "Wait. Is that a train horn? OH CRAP! The car is on the tracks!", and one of them jump in and actually move the thing. They're cowards and completely incompetent and I wouldn't trust them to walk my dog!
It would have taken even less time to pull the handcuffed woman out of the vehicle.
@@martiwaterman1437it would take even less time to not park on the tracks in the first place.
The fact that the other cop isn't also getting felony charges is ridiculous.
Am i correct they never checked on her and went back can continuing to look for drugs in her truck that they did not find?
they could have just pulled her out but they shouldn't have even parked there to begin with. I had a cop in my home town fall asleep parked on some tracks by the road, woke up to a train about to hit him, and got out of the car just in time. I think he was embarrassed because he tried to push the PD to sue the train company for not stopping for a police car but that's NOT HOW TRAINS WORK. Thankfully they knew better than to waste their money on that but I thought about that incident everytime I drove past those tracks. Cops really think the universe cares that they're cops and should bend the rules for them
Cops are supposed to serve and protect? That went out the window with the Uvalde murders - cops did NOTHING for those victims. They kept parents from saving their children. Same with this lady.
That they didn’t just plead out as guilty speaks volumes.
The surprising thing here is not that the officer lied (this is a common occurence), but that the young girl survived. She should now be the richest person in the county and those officers should be on trial for attempted manslaughter, at a minimum. Come on District Attorney, grow a pair and charge these gang members accordingly!
I didn’t know she survived. Glad to hear it, and I hope they pay dearly.
You wouldn’t know it happened if she died.
@@TheSiriusEnigmaWhat? You don’t think it makes the news when cops kill people? Where have you been?
The taxpayers will pay dearly
Because police cars are reinforced. She would be dead if were any other car
Just a reminder, police have been defunding all of us for years; these million dollar settlements thanks to incompetence and corruption are paid by taxpayers, not police or departments. No accountability
“I was miles out of my jurisdiction” damn so u shouldn’t a been there in the first place
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
She might have been but I'm sure the other officers weren't. They would know the area and know that track was in use and they didn't do or say anything.
What she hasn’t seen train tracks before
Not necessarily, theres certainly times where officers need to go out of jurisdiction. In real life going out of jurisdiction isnt some get out of jail free like in movies. Usually just requires an officer in that jurisdiction to be present.
A female officer was needed to do the pat-down of a female suspect.
The police officer that parked on the tracks should not have a driver license let alone be on the force. The only excuse would be vehicle broke down or is stuck flat out not smart enough to have this kind of job.
So, we have a female that skates through the academy on affirmative action, (being a female is sufficient to qualify for affirmative action) and gets her job because of hiring quotas, (less than 5%of females can match male scores at the academy) and she provides her worth when she testifies that she didn't realize the car was parked on a railroad track. Highly intelligent woman who needs to be in jail for life
That’s disgusting.. how could you do that to someone? These officers should definitely face the consequences for what they did
I know right. What kind of retarded officer parks a police car on the railroad tracks, especially with a person handcuffed in the back seat? Smdh
I can’t even imagine how horrific that must’ve been. Omg
i can understand her helplessness. while I wasn't hit by a train, i was hit by a large truck. i remember looking up from the backseat and knowing without any doubt we would be hit. i can still see the truck clear as day in my mind. i knew there was no time to prepare, to brace. all i was able to do was think, "this is going to hit us." i know the victim is forever grateful she survived, but that image of the train... will always haunt her. she will always have some fear of going over train tracks.
i hope the cops are held accountable. they deserve to feel that guilt for as long as the victim feels that fear- which will be forever. the only moral thing they can do is admit to their negligence.
… if you are blind then you cannot be a cop. If you, as a cop, park on tracks then you must be charged and fired.
That officer is nothing more than a coward when the train came and hit the car he ran away like a coward.
For those who have not seen the full bodycam video; moments after the impact, the cops are cracking jokes about what just happened. They are literally laughing! Every single one of them should be in jail for life for displaying such wreckless incompetence and breathtaking cruelty.
Wow wtf sick asf
Where can I see the full body cam footage?
Where is the full body cam video?
He was incredibly negligent, he didn’t even try to save her😭
They wanted her dead.
What is real reason for arresting her?
Yes..cops are cowards
Speedy recovery fellow female🙏😷❤️🩹
The Guy officer should be charged also for Stupidly parking his Squad on a Live Railroad track and he should pay for the damaged Squad that the tax payers paid for.
He had time, too, if he'd acted immediately.
Makes me wonder if he INTENDED for her to be struck. The train was blowing the horn BEFORE she was put into the vehicle.
These nazis wanted her to DIE. And yet, they're still not in a max security prison. That says everything about this stupid country.
Let’s call it like it is she was a criminal.
How is the situation gonna end up on a gun fight if she is handcuffed and in a cop car ?????????
Those aren’t COPS these folks are cowards! I don’t believe anything that she has to say…How incredibly sad!
Also retards for parking the vehicle on train tracks.
No…They’re definitely cops. Cops and cowardice are not mutually exclusive. I can give examples if you like. I promise I won’t even bring up Uvalde.
Cowards perhaps (probably), but certainly…. ignorant, inhumane, pond-scum a more apt description.
@@VoteForBukele good grief man. Relax dude I’m saying that because they didn’t do their jobs. I don’t need you to give examples of anything…
@@VoteForBukele So true, cops are cowards with a badge
it makes me sick how you can tell she was coached in exactly what to say so thoroughly
That's the operative word here "coached." I sincerely hope that's actually the case here. That this officer does actually feel guilty for what her carelessness caused and is only going along with this story due to her own trauma from the incident. Because If she's saying this on her own, it implies either absolute stupidity and lack of awareness, or a complete lack of morality.
Exactly it's too much like a script that's what the police union does it coaches officers
@@user-pm1gw6pe2l 1) dont care 2) didnt ask 3) youre white
These days there are a lot on people's mind. She may not have thought of a train approaching but her focus was on the alleged criminal.
This proves my hypothesis... An applicant must pass a 'Stupidity Test" to become a cop...
Even if it was an accident that officer still needs to be held accountable
This isn't a accident this is sheer negligence
@@elainecongo3827I think OP meant that even IF this was an accident (which it wasn’t) there still needs to be accountability.
It was preventable. That's not an accident. That's clear.
@@lydiaboll2872I think you're right.
@@elainecongo3827it's beyond negligence. I can hear the rumble and feel the vibration of the ground literally a mile away. There's a crossing about 3 miles away, and if it's quiet I can hear the whistle.
There's zero probability that not a single one of them heard anything until the whistle sounded. Zero.
She was pulled over for a misdemeanor and then they draw their GUNS! This was traumatic and mishandled from the beginning to the end.
Playing devils advocate, she was wanted for a road rage incident so was known to be potentially violent. So I can understand the guns but everything after that, no.
@@ivaneames4354only a pink person would have empathy for the cops
she was waving a gun in a road rage incidemt, but yes she didnt deserve being hit by a train.
@@ivaneames4354 She worked in law enforcement from what I remember and was accused by someone of having a firearm which is what they stopped her for and were searching for but could not find. It was airport security and anti terrorism from what I remember her job. So there was zero excuse.
@@manoflemancha2407 She was accused of carrying a gun which they were looking for but could not find, and were laughing while they searched for it, after leaving her handcuffed in the back of a police car in the middle of the railway tracks. She was also employed in law enforcement providing airport security and anti terrorism. So that bit would not wash.
I’m a 17 year Vet ……. This is complete BULLCRAP!! COMPLETE BULLCRAP! She’s is an embarrassment to my profession! This is why ppl hate us!
I understand why they did a felony stop, but don’t lie and say you didn’t know there were train tracks. Complete BULLCRAP!! That woman needs to OWN that town or city!
All the officers on scene should never wear a badge again!
I spent 25 years as an emergency responder. You never, ever, EVER park your vehicle on railroad tracks.
Right, that was so idiotic from the start.
I have zero years of any type of advanced training. I am not even a real good driver. But I would never park on railroad tracks. I think even little kids would know that.
I thought that was common sense, I can't believe how dumb they are
Seriously, was this officer born yesterday? Any human that's aware knows to not park or even sit, wait, sleep on, take a nap on, or picnic on top of train tracks. I knew that at 3 years of age.
Just, "Wow."
As an emergency responder i do this all the time because its funny LOL 😆
