Jordan Steinke, a Fort Lupton, Colorado, police officer who placed a handcuffed suspect into a police SUV that was then hit by a train, was sentenced to 30 months of supervised probation and 100 hours of public service, according to her attorney.
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.
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.

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

Yeah, she probably doesn’t want to be left on the tracks again by those cops.
Truth.
