The Officers Deserve Life Sentences
Officer Safety f**k the citizen safety.
They were probably promoted.
I think at least one of them was charged!
Reckless endangerment of the highest order!
take em to a death penalty state and be like oh sht long story but your in this state that... buh bye
We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing on our part.
both cities settled for $8.5 million.
I need that on a t-shirt with a few cuss words added in for flavor.
Never heard that one before. 🙄
Do you eat corn the long way?
Haha 1 am scrolling. Best comment of the night
Police Park wherever they want. You see it all the time.
I guess the police figured with their lights on the train won’t hit it dummies🤡’s
She will be physically effected for LIFE and I would also get attached to the officer/s pension claims
I g half of their personal pension plus the PD responsible too
I really want to know if the officer who parked that cruiser on the tracks is still employed by that department
It’s a 50-50 chance they haven’t.
No, they aren't
They got a promotion
Both of those monsters should be in prison for attempted murder etc. They recklessly ignored the very loud sound of a ffs approaching train. I am shocked this case isn’t getting more attention. Yes, she will suffer pain and other issues from the massive injuries for the rest of her life.
All this could have been avoided by flashing her badge to the conducted
You must be joking.
Shouldn’t be one person in the United States of the drivers license who doesn’t know that you never ever ever ever stop on the railroad tracks.
This guy should be prosecuted for attempted murder, or gross negligence . They deserve jail time.
Proof that training really needs to be longer
You can't train for what Jordan v New London revealed about police department hiring practices. Go look it up. I wish I was being flippant.
What happens when you don’t have situational awareness. This is absolutely disgusting
Those "officers" should never ever see a paycheck or pension. Unfortunately, her settlement will come from taxpayers. Somehow, someway, these "officers" should pay with their own pay checks n pensions
She is lucky to be alive. How did they not hear the train coming? I hope that young lady sues and the officer fired.
You should follow this case !!!
I wonder if she could get them to settle for a blank check for all future medical problems.... would probably be cheaper than going to trial.
This was disgusting that the officers left her in that car on the tracks and did nothing when they heard the train coming.
There should be no lawsuit... They need to just pay her.
She got a pitiful $8.5M, cops got a slap on the wrist. Typical.
He was excited she had a misdemeanor warrant
Can anyone imagine the horror of looking up that track as that light came closer and closer.. the terror and i can bet love of money she was screaming back their all alone falling upon deaf ears as it approached..
😭😭😭😭😞 Wasn’t prepared for that one!!! 😭 How horrible! WTF is wrong with some of these cops today?!!! 🤦🏻♀️
They are trained to behave this way, Primary function is to Generate Revenue, at the expense of citizens financial & mental health.
How does that locality rate enough insurance to cover the damages incurred by that incident. It will take an act of the US congress to compensate adequately that individual.
@ TheDUIguy A MUST READ!!
I hope she sues and my prayers are with her.
She should hire the firm that took on John Hopkins Hospital and seued them. They represented the little girl Maya(spelling? I watched that long trial and the jury found John Hopkins guilty and awarded the little girl $265 million dollars! Biggest lawsuit ever. Trial lasted about 6 weeks. A two man team of attorneys took on JHCH (John Hopkins Childrens Hospital) huge corporation. They had about 6-8 high profile attorneys and 4-6 paralegals. Look up the trial, it was fascinating to watch and very sad to see what that Hospital did to Maya and how Maya's mom sacrificed her own life to save her little girl.
I don’t know about you, but that seemed deliberate, premeditated, and personal!
The Train Should Stop Because We Are The Police 😮 !! BOW DOWN TO US PEASANT!!!😮
No amount of money is worth that pain. She should totally buy the department
She's lucky to be alive. Didn't they settle on this one?
Platteville is in the plains, how can you not hear and see the train in time.
intelligence is not a requisite to be a cop
Steve Lehto just reported the lawsuit was settled for 8.5 million!!! Not enough imo!!!he stated 2 offices got probation???!!!! And 1 officer not charged!!!!totally unacceptable!!!
I'm surprised anyone could've survived this.
The officers used qualified immunity, no lawsuit went forward.
She should sue the police officer and not the police department. Taxpayers pay that suit.
They say luckily she survived but sometimes the pain for the rest of your life isn’t worth it
I vaguely remember that she received 8.5 million settlement not a court award a SETTLEMENT
My dad was an engineer for over 40 years, and you couldn’t imagine the stories of the idiots he landed up hitting. It doesn’t just hurt the person hit by the train, but it hurts the engineer that has to live with it. Obviously this was not the woman’s fault, but the idiot cop.
I’m surprised they didn’t arrest the train operator for obstruction…
Most would not trust these people with flipping their burger.
But someone thought they would make good cops and hired them.
This is crazy she’ll be traumatized for life
Those 2 cops deserve life in prison
The woman deserves 100 million dollars or more
Who does that?
Righteousness demands there be funerals. Period.
That’s not just a sue but federal charges against all officers that were present. On the railroad track do, come on
They passed the Train to catch-up to the woman, they have it on camera, not to mention they hear the train horn and do nothing, and it was a mile down the tracks!
SETTLEMENT: 8.5 Million.
Cops got parole.
DEI Appears to be VERY expensive for the taxpayers.😮😂😮
Earning the hate one interaction at a time. In this case a trio of morons were not genuinely held accountable by their Department after handcuffing her, putting her in a police car parked on the railroad tracks, and ignoring the approaching train. And, these idiots are allowed to have not only a badge, but also a gun. Talk about stupid.
Did the cops arrest the train driver for failure to stop for flashing lights ???
I'm ex.leo andi say that cop needs more.than a law suite. Criminal charges should be brought up
Payment should come out of their pension plans
100 MILLION???
NAW
At LEAST half a BILLION!!!
That is negligent attempted manslaughter
I would sue that city out of existence then have those officers sent to prison for attempted murder and then abolish qualified immunity
Those cops should be fired arrested charges filed
This is an example of why cops should not have qualified immunity. They should be personally accountable for her injuries.
This was in a state with no QA
They both got probation so at least they got some punishment I guess
@@condemnedd684qualified immunity is a federal law, and Colorado cops absolutely have qualified immunity.
QI does not apply to this case. It shields officials from civil liability in cases where the constitutionality of their actions is unclear.
@@roberthudson1959the trick is, they do everything in their power to make every case unclear
Everyone seems to forget the rail road law suit for damage to train as well as driver ptsd. Trust me they will sue.
As they should. The train operators also have their own health issues now. They didn't go to work wanting to do that to her.
I didn’t think about the Railroad Operator and the aftermath of hitting the car. It had to have been devastating and the psychological effects were probably tremendous
@@5paces164 There are a lot of train drivers never get back in the cab after a train hits a car or truck. they lose it .Even if no one is killed they know it could have killed and there is nothing they could do to stop it .
@@peterwright9546 thank you for reminding me of the people on the train. I appreciate it
@@5paces164My boyfriend is a Conductor on a Class I. He has had to deal with the aftermath of someone laying on the tracks. It definitely took a toll on him and he already deals with PTSD from the Army.
I remember when this happened. She is lucky to be alive!!! I hope she gets every penny.. Please keep us posted. 💜
I remember this from about 2 years ago, actually made me feel sick in my stomach.
When there are stupidly large payouts for hurt feelings, the compensation she receives for this should be astronomical
Me too, what happened to those thugs? ✌️🇬🇧
@@MissMarmsthey probably got a raise, a promotion, and decorated.
Miss Marms, look up the Act of 1871, and you’ll find out why the Yanks do not have a government.
We have a corporation controlled by foreign interests.
The sooner the People figure this out, the better.
It’s already too late, I fear.
@MissMarms The arresting officer got 30 months probation and 100 community hours.
No jail time, and he didn't lose his job or any of his benefits! The other officer didn't get anything and actually got a promotion shortly after!
@@MrRunItUpunbe-fukn-lievable...
I cannot believe she survived that!
They are stilling trying to prosecute her.
@@jameswest9261 You can't be serious?

Sadly the stupid tax payers are paying for the tyrants crimes 😢😢
Tax payers are the innocent victims of inferior individuals place in positions they should never hold.
Stupid? 🙄 Everyone except the rich pay taxes my guy
Insurance will pay it off
Tax goes after everyone .
@@SomeoneStoleMyHandle911 so elon musk didn't pay 11 billion in taxes 🙄
Payday, sadly she will probably feel the effects the rest of her live
At the very least mentally
People can suffer from injuries for the rest of their lives. Medical teams do their best to repair damages. However, arthritis, traumatic brain injuries, and post-traumatic stress syndromes follow.
The trauma alone will give her nightmares.. wonder what happened to cop
@@susanhoh1414 promotion? Wouldn't be the first time 🙄🤔
@@annebokma4637 after a two week paid vacay..
Fun update: The cop who handcuffed her and put her in the vehicle recieved 30 months of probabtion and 100 hours of community service. The cop that parked his car on the tracks recieved a commuted sentence of unsupervised probabtion for 24 months as long as he stays out of trouble.
The woman is still facing felony road rage charges, even though, according to her lawyer, the other involved party admitted fault. So the charges not being dropped is the first hurdle she needs to overcome before her lawsuit moves forward.
Wow! Unbelievable
Fuck the government
This is disgusting.. Her law suit is gonna be massive.
No law suit. They are holding charges against her to stop it.
The state not dropping the charges is the only defense against a lawsuit they have and they know it.
If they push that case to trial with an admission from the other party on record, she can tack that onto her lawsuit as a §1983 as malicious prosecution and not only take the police dept for hundreds of millions, but the city itself and the city prosecutors office as well. Talk about turning 100milliin into a potential 500 lmfao.
They’d be wise to write her a check and put her on the “Leave alone” list.
I used to live near rail road tracks. You know about 5 minutes before a train comes.
That’s what I was thinking how could they not get her out before the train came?
Yes! I have always lived within a mile of the tracks and you can feel the vibrations long before they arrive. These cops completely ignored it.
Can't believe they were LEO and parked ON the tracks knowing the possibility existed. Criminal negligence. The young girl survived but how will she ever be the same with all those broken bones and trauma? How can she trust police ever?
I remember when this originally happened and I told a friend about it.... he brought up how rail companies are also incredibly litigious and there's no way they're eating the cost on those repairs.
Police departments: Choo-choo company, I soo U 4 fixin ma police car.
Attorney with the railroad company:
GD! Stop texting me doofus! You will lose and we are counter suing for the damage done to the engine.
Where I am it is a crime to stop on rail tracks.
It's a crime in the 48 continental States and in Canada as well.
@@alanhawkins9478Yes it is- but don’t you know that cops don’t have to obey laws? These tyrants both got probation and community service for trying to kill this woman. They still have their jobs!!!!!!!
It was a crime here as well but they did it anyways and all but 1 got a slap on the wrist
Not only did they put her in the vehicle on the tracks, but then they just ignored the train while they searched her car. You could hear the train for about a minute before it hit the car.
I guess they thought cop lights stop everyone
@@gaylanwright2317they'll hold the train in contempt of cop and try to beat up the conductor
HER vehicle was clear of the tracks....cop car WAS on the tracks
@@shannonobrien9922yeah, that's what everyone here is talking about. They ( the cops ) put her in their car with the police lights that was sitting on the tracks and were searching her car, ignoring the train.
@shannonobrien9922 on top of that after the accident instead of checking on her they searched her vehicle for a gun instead of administering aid. The female officer walked up to the cop car like 20ft away after the accident and turned around to help the male officer search miss Gonzalez truck. The full bodycam vid (amazingly) is here on RUclips from the news.
I have degenerative spinal disease. Mine didn't get bad though until middle age. She is probably going to spend the rest of her life, every conscious moment, with pain. I consider any payout she gets as a token payment, considering what she's going to go through.
I'm so sorry. I understand. Broke a vertebra at 1 year old, now 75. Arthritis and fibromyalgia, as well. Something always hurts. Pain sucks the life out of me sometimes, but it's all I know.
Basically the money is to improve her quality of life, whatever she needs to try and get back some semblance of normalcy
@@TheOmegaRiddler No argument about the legal theory. However, you will always have the trolls who are saying how can the damages be worth so much. This heads it off.
I remember seeing this when it first happened!! She should sue, and with the video evidence, it should not even go to trial. They should settle for whatever she is asking for!!! In her future, after she heals from all the damage done to her body, she still has to look forward to all the arthritis and stuff that will set up in all her broken bones as she gets older. I speak from experience from being in a car/train accident when I was a child. It has been 47 years and I still suffer from all my injuries!!
I hear ya!
The pain and suffering is so much worse now than it was as a child and I won the case but NEVER saw the $ since I was a child and other people used it.
I'm disabled forever and not only missed my childhood, but also most of the things enjoy as an adult.
If I remember right, I believe the officer who parked his car on the tracks was fired.
Officers should lose immunity and pay out of pocket.
@@readysetgo8244 sometimes they can go in debt for being found guilty of the rights violation. However, the debt would be to the employer instead of the victim. This issue is contract and law dependent, however. If the employer refuses to pay, the cop can be held civilly liable for the funds because the court ruled against him. However, it's usually going to be like squeezing water from a stone.
💩💩💩💩!!! I'd thought she'd died in that!
Prison time for the cop.
Only got 30months probation and 100 community service hours for reckless endangerment
@@robm425 that’s all the charges should be… if she died it’s manslaughter, but manslaughter can’t be attempted, so it’s just reckless endangerment.
@@ZenoPcs pretty sure if I tied someone up, locked them in the back of my car, then parked that car on train tracks I'd be charged with a lot more than that...
@@adamwebster1666 your not protecting the community and your not a cop
@@ZenoPcs Tell me what part of those actions were necessary for protecting the community. Cop or not is irrelevant when the actions undertaken do not fulfill the duty of a cop - protecting the community.
As far as I've seen this is a traffic stop so no overwhelming community risk is presented, and she ended up in the hospital just as though she was shot, probably worse. A cop has a duty to protect the arrested party once in custody.
The department investigated its self and found no wrong doing
Of course!!
They did try to justify it because it was dark and she couldn't see she was on the tracks
Not this time
@CraigGrant-sh3in
There is NO WAY she didn't know she was on train tracks.
It's not just tracks on the ground, there are the railroad crossing signs.
It's just a Cop with tunnel vision.
And it's Criminal Negligence.
it's dumb enough that they park their cruiser on the tracks, but who ever had the bright idea to put the suspect in a vehicle on train tracks is so far beyond "head empty" that i'm lost for words. i cannot even begin to imagine the utter helplessness/horror that woman felt as she likely watched that train hit her, and it is frankly a miracle she is even alive. i hope the cop(s) responsible are not only banned from ever wearing a badge again, but also criminally charged for this insane levels of negligence (but, most likely, that'll unfortunately never happen)
A true statement but the sad thing is that's the kind of people they want to hire
It was her screaming about the train that got their attention.
it's not unfortunate it's a direct result of the public not forcing change
It's so dumb, I can only believe they did it with Malice, on purpose, yes they are that evil. We can't believe it because it's so evil, but we have to believe it. If we want truth. These people shouldn't be walking among us, much less given badges.
@@SilentThundersnow I can see where you are coming from, but I can see them being so absolutely stupid also. And entitled thinking a train will stop because they have their lights on. Stupidity, ignorance and entitlement is a deadly combination.
Poor woman
“She should literally buy the police department after she sues them” 🤣🤣
Yep. I was thinking the WHOLE TOWN. How a cop can do something absolutely beyond stupid is one for the ages. Another reason Women should NOT be cops.
Judging by this video, that would be a bad investment. lol
This made the news here in the UK.
Shocker!! One officer got community service and probation for putting her in the car, and the officer who parked on the tracks got probation. The one who parked on the tracks has the chance to clear his record if he doesn't violate his probation and the other will probably successfully petition the court to clear hers as well. Who would have thought that officers are immune from consiquences even when they are charged and found guilty or plead guilty, no one...
Wtf!!??
There needs to be a major reform of all law enforcement in this country, and when it happens the cops aren't going to like it,
Chances are she only survived because they put her on the drivers side and the train hit from the passengers side! Lets see if they get qualified immunity as usual!
NO QI in Colorado!
@@mstover2809 good!
@@mstover2809there's also a 25,000 cap on lawsuit.
I too saw this soon after it happened. I suspect the cop who parked on the crossing thought her emergency lights would stop a train. *WRONG!* The officer actually parked on Private Property. The railroad owns the Right-of-Way on which the rails are laid. Another topic skipped in "Policing 101?"
Colorado and Arkansas are probably the top 2 most reckless states when it comes to officer misconduct. I know of more excessive force cases in those states than anywhere else.
Aurora Colorado PD
The DOJ knows most of Colorado's cop by first name because they get investigated so much
@@patty3366 the frail lady with dementia, Loveland with the mentally handicapped kid they killed because he was throwing a temper tantrum.
Look at who is moving into these states. That should tell you all you need to know.
@@kathrynleaser5093 what point are you trying to make exactly??
To me it looks like a hit. Heard of this before
I agree! Since NO ONE EVER STOPS THEIR vehicles on a rail road tracks it seem deliberate to me.
This is already a classic. I hope their employer has stupid insurance, because stupid happens.
A lot of cities are self-insured, so the limit does not exist on what can be claimed. Negligence is a given on this, and ALL the officers on-scene bear shared responsibility for this. The Constitution allows for slavery as a punishment for crimes, maybe officers failing their oaths quality as a good reason to have them work off the liability they caused.
I believe like most states they are immune from prosecution, a principle called “Qualified Immunity”. A court must first remove the immunity of the governmental entity and from the individuals. The individuals are to be sued in both their professional and personal capacities.
Qualified immunity needs to abolished!!! To many cops getting away with breaking the law cuz they KNOW they are protected.... the tide is starting to change with many of these lawsuits but unfortunately it's only the city (tax payers) who are responsible for the bill when it should be the officers paying the bill!!!
Why would they have insurance? They don't pay for anything. They just spend other people's resources
A police officer that's who. They have no regard for traffic laws.
The Fort Lupton police officer who put a woman in a parked police car before it was hit by a train in Platteville, Colorado was found guilty of two misdemeanors: reckless endangerment, a Class 2 misdemeanor, and third-degree assault. Jordan Steinke was found not guilty on criminal attempt to commit manslaughter, a Class 5 felony.
I know she filed suit, don’t know if it was settled or ongoing. I live in the Denver area. This was huge!
No body EVER stops their car on rail road tracks unless you are an effon kop. She stopped on tracks in purpose in my opinion Because NO ONE DOES THAT!
The arresting officer only got 30 hours of probation and 100 hours of community service. They still have their(other officers) jobs, and all their benefits. Is it a surprise that it was a judge and not a jury that gave them this privilege?
It’s ridiculous that taxpayers should have to pay this incoming massive lawsuit while these officers keep their pension pay. Absolutely ridiculous.
They've been fired.
@@MAXIMUS172yea the officer who put her in the car was, but none of the other officers were convicted of anything. Just annoyed that taxpayers will foot the bill.
The woman settled for $8.5M. The PD insurance maxes out at $10M, and the PD had already used $1.5 on their defense. Steinke was fired after her conviction and is expected to lose her Peace Officer Standards and Training certification. She can never be a cop again, if this happens.
@@robertbehan9186 Rios-Gonzalez' was stopped for an accusation of waiving a pistol at a driver. Her attorney plead no contest to the menacing charge but I didn't find any reports that a pistol was found in the vehicle. There may have been and I just didn't happen to find it.
I'm mentioning it because of the frequency people are arrested for "resisting arrest". When the judge asks "Why are you arresting them in the first place?" the cops will say "For resisting arrest!".
Go after the judge
I sincerely hope those officers were fired and that she also sues the crap out of them too.
Very typical in rural Colorado.
Weld County FT Lupton PD was also involved
What I saw in the original comments was that it is a well-known fact that these tracks were busy tracks. These deputies should have known better. And, if I remember correctly, they pulled her over for supposedly brandishing a gun at the bar, but never found a gun in the truck. I hope that girl takes them to cleaners. I get nervous around any train tracks and would NEVER even think about parking on them. I mean, how stupid do you have to be really?!
From watching a couple of videos covering this case, the cops even after Ms. Gonzalez was taken to the hospital were still searching for a gun and almost joking/laughing about what had just happened.
Cop level stupid. In other words, really stupid
How vicious?
I love your reaction Larry! Your facial expressions aside, this poor girl, she probably did nothing to warrant even a routine traffic stop. ❤
Quota was due and she was the only one on the road.
As a driver education instructor, I teach my students NEVER to stop on railroad tracks. If you can't cross completely, stop before the tracks. If my 16 yo students understand this, how does a police officer not?
This is why you should have to study for at least 2 years instead of 6 weeks to be a police officer, along with a minimum IQ of 130.
Cops- “We can park where ever we want!” Train- “Hold my beer!” 😂
This was pure stupidity. I still can't believe they were that unaware of what was going on around them. It's almost like it was on purpose and if it really was an accident they should never have been hired. Them being so focused on snooping through her car is crazy.
You have to be just about legally brain-dead to park a vehicle on Railroad tracks and leave it with someone who is handcuffed inside.
Thank God they had the recording. They pull her over and don't know yet if she's drunk, high or whatever. Then the morons yell move your car !
I'm kind of surprised they didn't copsplain to her while the extraction team was on the way.
This is the perfect reason. There should be aptitude tests under pressure for police officers. Although the pressure was self-inflicted because she couldn't get to the supposed crime scene quick enough, all common sense was thrown out the window by her eagerness to exercise her power over someone else.
That's wreckless
That isn't just reckless it is depraved INDIFFERENCE!!!!!!!
I would say it's wreckful actually
@@benmyers9030ha! I was going to say, unfortunately, it wasn't!
I’m pretty sure she actually bank rolled the city as in they didn’t even have enough money to pay her settlement
We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing….
Putting a suspect in a police car parked on train tracks with a train comming at it has to be a deliberate hit job!
Must be that additional training!
They treat people so bad and do not care about anyyyyyybody that the female cop says the _SUSPECT_ was in the back of the car.
That's wrong lady!!!!
There was a human being in the backseat, a girl with a family but obviously you don't care about people's safety.
I also dislike the way everyone is female or male, even a 10- year old child can't be called a boy or girl. It's another way of dehumanizing people.
Women. Drivers right?😂😂😂
