It’s been several weeks since two cops parked their SUV on railroad tracks, then placed a prisoner in the SUV on the railroad tracks, and left it on the railroad tracks long enough for a train to hit it.
I still can’t come up with a single reason that an adult, however diminished their cognitive abilities, would park on railroad tracks. Ever. Under any circumstances.
As a small child I knew to avoid railroad tracks and doubt that at age seven I would have parked my bicycle on railroad tracks. And I was no brighter than the other seven-year-olds on the block.
These were not seven year olds. They were adults. What were they thinking?
Never mind.
Where did this happen, Constance? Have they arrested the police officers? It sounds like a case of cruel and unusual punishment. Gross negligence. I was always fascinated by railroad tracks. They ran on forever. I wanted to get on one of those railroad cars where you manually pump it down the tracks – and go to Chicago. David
It happened on Sept. 16, north of Platteville, CO.
