A local prosecutor announced charges Monday against two Colorado police officers over a September incident in which a train struck a patrol car with a woman handcuffed inside.

Officer Jordan Steinke, of the Fort Lupton Police Department, faces two felony charges and officer Pablo Vazquez, of the Platteville Police Department, faces multiple misdemeanor charges after the incident left a 20-year-old woman with serious injuries, the Weld County District Attorney’s Office announced.

On Sept. 16, Vazquez pulled over 20-year-old Yareni Rios-Gonzalez near Platteville, Colorado, 40 miles north of Denver, in connection with a road rage incident involving a firearm reported earlier in the day.

1. This one really puzzles me

Did they do it deliberately? Who would do that?

But really, who would accidentally stop your car on a railroad track?
It had to be deliberate.

2. Sociopaths

Would do it,then lie about it when they got caught.

3. "But...but...

Wouldn't the train respect our Authori-TAI and stop for our flashing dingus?"

5. Thought it was

illegal to park on a train track unless vehicle broke down on track. I am pretty sure the police car didn’t break down on track and even if it had, wouldn’t the officers need to make sure there was nobody in vehicle? Very happy they were charged.
