can't help but think of the time cops handcuffed a woman, put her in their cruiser, and left it on the train tracks

Former Colorado officer avoids jail for putting handcuffed woman in police vehicle that was hit by train

I can understand not paying attention to a train coming down the tracks, because it's such an ordinary thing. What I can't understand is:

  1. Parking on the tracks at all. It's not like your blue lights mean shit to a freight train. Just, why?

  2. Detaining that person in the one vehicle on the railroad tracks. You've got like five cars to pick from, and you choose the one sitting on railroad tracks and then don't move it. Come on.

All in all, it was an extraordinarily careless mistake and they should be held accountable for it the same way anyone should be held accountable for grossly negligent choices.

This woman sacrificed her health and property to protect our brave officers and you want the both of them to be prosecuted? Outrageous
