Because nothing says “accident” like leaving a prisoner in the middle of a railroad crossing!

    As always. Please read the article. The headline was written to generate the responses I have read so far. And of coourse the actual article explains the situation. The sentence seems a bit light to me given what I read, but it doesn’t say if the officer lost thier job or any other consequences that may have been additional factors. What it does say is the victim did not want the officer to go to jail. Thats pretty striking frankly. Tells me there is probably more going on than is written.

      Rios’ attorney also told the court that Rios did not feel strongly about Steinke serving jail time and felt “very sorry” for her instead.

      That’s not the same as what you said.

        Nice, you read the article. My work here is done. Lol.
        True though, but a heck of a lot closer then the people who referred to female cop as a guy, and the victim as dead.

      Dude left a guy on the tracks… even if that was… somehow an innocent mistake, someone could have died (and almost did die)

        totally agree. Jusr tired of reading comments about how HE killed the person… when it was neither a he, nor was the person killed. And really I am tired of deceptive headlines designed to make people angry.
