Joseph – please post the pics and videos on Facebook. Something has to stop these cops from thinking they are god.
The drunk ones always seem to live.
He didn’t “park” and the car wasnt ” stalled” on the tracks… He took the turn at about 50mph. Flew onto the tracks. Right over the third rail. Created two big bursts of sparks until he finally came to rest about 300 feet on tracks. Then tried to back up then tried to get out. I was a witness along with about 50 other constructionworkers. I also have pics and video…
Joseph – please post these on Facebook. cops have to stop getting away with these things.
He was arrested. What did he get away with?
You are an ass, he was arrested. He didn’t get away with anything. And cops have been getting locked up for DWI all the time when they do it. They no longer get away with it.
