- Lauren Pozen reports from Venice, where an investigation continues after a bus driver was stabbed Thursday afternoon. The incident is just the latest violent event to happen on Metro transit in recent months, sparking debate over whether an in-house safety department would make a difference.
Drivers used to be able to refuse service, they need to bring that back.
Nope that's racist and insensitive in progressively liberal California. Additionally ADA laws give strict penalties if a driver passes up a wheelchair or other disabled people, unless there is a previously documented incident with that specific person. Enjoy your blue, democratic state!
As a bus driver, I completely agree. However, homeless advocates, the NAACP, as well as disability advocates would cry foul and say it's a "pathway to discrimination." They're all liars. I say, we need a little more discrimination in this country, and less assuming that it's discrimination based on status. Because let's face it: there *are* people who need to be discriminated against. regardless of their racial, religious, financial, or disability status.
Just ban Africans.... problem solved
@@TVHouseHistorian I also am in favor of refusing service to certain riders, NOT all of them. I am speaking of those who pose a threat to safety for all people. And by the way, the NAACP don't do spit at all about anything. As soon as an incident occurs that's when they show their faces just to be noticed.
@@raymondgreene9600 so true. What I’m saying is that, when the problem passenger happens to be a person of color, or any other protected class for that matter, then any attempt at effectively dealing with the problem is automatically assumed to be racially biased. At that point, the transit district gets raked through the coals in the public square. It’s all based on public perception, which is heavily skewed.
I rode the Red Line for the first time during Pride. There are people riding around those trains who need serious mental help.
I am in favor of this for the protection of the drivers and passengers.
Leave bus drivers alone god damnit
fully support a Metro police agency taking over safety/security on buses and trains, just wish they'd get it up and running faster
Metro needs to stick to transportation. Leave law enforcement to LAPD or Sherrif's.
They used to have one years ago, it failed, just install fare gates and keep the homeless off the trains, problem solved.
I’ve ridden the metro before, post 2015 no way I’m getting in that sort of death trap, there used to be a time where you can save money by using the metro now you risking your life.
They will cancel public transport and then everyone will be crying. Don't worry though the attacker will be back on the street in 2 days!!
bus driver better get like that bus driver in detroit, and keep that 🔫on them. Better to get fired than to get dead
Goal: More safety
Predictions:
BETTER VISIBILITY
FASTER RESPONSE TIMES
20% - 40% LESS EXPENSIVE
Reality:
LESS VISIBILITY
SLOWER RESPONSE TIME
200% MORE EXPENSIVE
Result: Disaster.
I feel bad for Metro riders who are vulnerable to violence.
i’m pro discriminating towards homeless n not allowing them inside the bus
Decades ago Metro had its own police agency. Why was it defunct to begin with ? Had they stayed intact much of these incidents would not be happening.
If they reinstall a transit police agency, they should have officers actually ride inside buses and trains when possible. It would also help if they were undercover, as they could catch more crime in the action.
I agree with you
30% cheaper then you can pay your employee better wages
SCRTD (the agency before Metro) had its own police force back in the 1980s.
You just confirmed what I recalled all along.
Again??? BAN ASSAULT STYLE KNIVES!
Should've listened to Villanueva. Now you have spineless Luna helping to defund the Sherrifs.
WE ALREADY HAD METRO POLICE, BUT SOMEONE VOTED TO DEFUND POLICE! NOW EVERYONE IS CRYING 😅😅😅😅
Exactly, fck around and find out
You are so right about that !
They obviously don't care about their drivers.
Wait a minute I thought we needed to defund the police😮
So the bus was sitting out there
Why you stabbed that bus driver
I’m gonna invest in a company that installs bulletproof glass on city buses. Nothing to do but profit off the misery. It’s sad.
Hola time to pray God answers prayer.
"Stabby Hot Summer" in Los Angeles has begun! Thanks Mayor Karen Bass, Corrupt Los Angeles City Council, Lap Dog Sheriff Luna, D.A. George Gascon, Metro Board. Los Angeles "Where Crime and Homelessness pays". You get what you vote for!
earth to metro borad(inculde BOS): YOU ARE DEFUND THE POLICE AND YOU WHAT METRO OWN POLICE?! we have lasd , lapd and lbpd arlaedy but you use those contract as last resrot. For you "ambassor" who good for help ppl show themhow train work and information that they main need. but for some with disability, I like to see law enforcement on the train to keep me safe exspacailly now.
❤❤
defund the police and this is what you get
And what DID they think was going to happen after 6 years of screaming "Defund the police!"?
Did they really think that their communities and their very lives were going to be safer without the police presence?
Did they really belive all that Kaka?
Enjoy what you all wanted and voted for. I know I am!!!
Won't stop with Democrats in charge
Believe it or not, it's still safer then it was in the 80s-90s. At least for now.
