Once again we witness how the police in the US treat citizens. In this case a woman was detained, pulled out of her car, handcuffed and then placed in the back of a police cruiser whom the officers left on the railroad tracks. A train came and crashed into the police car and dragged the car with the woman in it, almost costing her her life. The officers on the scene did nothing to try to help the victim. Here is the video footage from CNN.
Una vez más vemos cómo trata la policía de EEUU a los ciudadanos. Han esposado a una mujer y la han trancado en el coche y lo han dejado sobre el paso elevado y un tren lo ha investido y casi le cuesta la vida a la mujer enjaulada por los agentes, que no hicieron nada por tratar de salvarla. Aquí está el vídeo de CNN.
With the resurgence of such intolerant practices like racism, discrimination and other extreme right wing attitudes in the US, it seems like people who don’t fit the new ideal of being a “white” male will have to live in the big cities of the northeast, south Florida and California and avoid the states where these atrocities tend to take place.
Parece que aquellos en EEUU que no sean hombres y «blancos» tendrán que quedarse en las grandes ciudades del noreste, el sur de la Florida y California porque en otros estados reina el racismo y los actos discriminatorios que han resurgido desde el advenimiento de Trump.

Tremendo, a Nueva York da miedo ir solo.por no atravesar el aeropuerto Kennedy. Una odisea. Hablo de gente normal como yo. Buen día.

Es demencial. Actos como este y tantos otros acumulados donde psicópatas de uniforme poco tienen que envidiar a los criminales, ponen entredicho eso de «la tierra de las libertades y la democracia». Esos comportamientos deberían llevar aparejadas condenas e inhabilitación para formar parte de los cuerpos policiales.

De acuerdo. Son cuerpos de represión sin respeto a la ciudadanía. Los entrenan como si fueran unidades militares que salen a neutralizar al enemigo, pero el pueblo no es el enemigo. Tienen que elegir mejor, adiestrar mejor y castigar severamente a los culpables. Gracias mil y un saludo.

A young child would know not to park a car on a train track! This story out of Colorado is horrendous! I was raised to respect police officers, but it seems there are more and more bad people joining their ranks. I have to respect the badge they wear, but I don’t automatically respect a police officer as a person now. He or she must gain my respect through how they conduct themselves. I understand now why people of color fear for their lives any time they’re pulled over or confronted by a police officer. I started losing respect for police officers a few years ago when our house was broken into and ransacked. A few days later, a sheriff’s deputy called and asked me if I’d figured out yet who did it! I said, «No, I thought that was your job.» If I’m treated like that as a white woman, I shudder to think how that officer or the county sheriff’s department as a whole treats other segments of our community.

I understand completely. When I was trained I had just come out of the army along with about 50% of the class and our police instructor made quite sure we especially understood that our police function was completely different. But now they’ve militarised the police too much and they treat “civilians” as the enemy. And all police in the U S are civilians… thank you Janet and all the best.

Thanks, Francis. Yes, you hit the nail on the head — the police in the US have become too militarized. I believe it started with the response to September 11th and the whole Homeland Security mindset.

That was definitely part of it, but they had begun to put a military mindset in trainees in the academies a bit before.
