Parked police car with detained suspect inside gets hit by train (Colorado)

[Helobious 9464]

Yes, police car was parked on fucking train tracks while cops were searching alleged road rage suspect’s vehicle. Suspect somehow is still alive.

Full video

buncha nincompoops. More than 1 on the scene and none had the awareness to move both cars after suspect surrendered

[Surly Bevo 25100]

That one cop in video right as train hits the car looks to be carrying an assault rifle.  Come the fuck on.

A little different from the usual cop shenanigans in that not  intentional, but just galactically stupid.

A little different....  

Lol.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9347]

So that's reckless endangerment, no? Her attorney is gonna have a field day with the pain & suffering angle. In addition to the obvious physical trauma she sustained, you've got the mental anguish of being trapped inside the cop's SUV with the sound of the train's horn and light getting closer and closer, knowing she was helpless and likely facing an indescribably painful death.

How many of the cops on scene received medals for their heroism?

This adds a strange (and literal) twist to the old line that bad cops just need more training.

You're giving the cops too much credit here. I'm not convinced it wasn't intentional.

Seriously, what the fuck are we even doing anymore.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9347]

So watching the full video I can hear the first train whistle on the cop's body cam at 5'05 and impact seems to be right around 5'25. Is a hundred grand per second while contemplating your impending death due to the criminally stupid actions of a highly trained police officer a good starting point? Since there was a baby seat in the back of her truck we can assume she has at least one child. That's a long time to think about your child growing up without their mother.

 

[Grade of D as in David 13253]

Tie every cop on the scene to the train tracks.

Yeah, that's what I was driving at.  On the scale of willful to negligent, that is just so almost impossibly stupid that it makes you wonder.  And also whether the law should make any distinction.

[jimmyjazz 46008]

I'm just gonna go ahead and posit the idea that stopping on the train tracks in the first place was really fucking stupid.

This wil be a many-$10s of millions settlement, and rightfully so.

Well, remember that this would be, at first glance, a lawsuit against the PD, as the deep pocket for it's negligent employees.  And those may be barred by sovereign immunity.  It appears that Colorado's immunity laws let those suits through with no damage caps other than what is usually avallable to defendants.

Too many body cams on for it to have been intentional. They’re all just fucking stupid. 

[deadshank 24653]

Weld County DA will add felony fleeing to the charges. 

[Underdog 28761]

Going out on the limb here and say not the first time a train has been ran on ol' girl. Just a hunch.

Its almost like they were responding to an incident involving a gun….

 

 

[Steel Shank 9430]

Dumb motherfuckers armed with an AR15. Parking shit on train tracks.

 

smh

[Deej 76875]

That shit had to be intentional.  Park the car on the tracks, then put the suspect in the back of the car. 

[RPM 26332]

I couldn't tell from the videos, so maybe somebody can clear this up for me. Did all the officers make it home safe that night?

Nah, they wouldn't knowingly put their cruiser at risk like that.

The heroes are among the stupidest, most dangerous mf'ers in our society.  This is not a few bad apples, it's most of them.  

"Hey, I know, let's bring in a bunch of mental midgets and give them guns, badges, and arrest powers!!!  Yeah, that's the ticket!"

Sterilize every badge wearer in that video and put them on the unemployment line immediately.

Prine asked to be left off the credits for a song he thought frivolous, as he didn’t want to offend the country music fans. He did not understand  those same fans.

 

The cop who parked the car was punished with a paid vacation.

It's amazing how cops prove, on a weekly basis, what absolute cowards they are.

Shouldn't they be treated like child molesters and made to go door to door and inform their neighbors and any potential employer?

Except potential employers for heroes are usually other heroes.

Oh, that's a great fucking idea. Going door to door shooting people for making a furtive movement like answering their door.
