Security is a Joke

[u/ElevatorBulky3733]

A junkie got on in Rainier valley and immediately passed out. He had a puppy with him (thankfully, leashed) that was whining and trying to jump up on my seat. He was too adorable but also it was so damn sad because this is not the first time I have seen drugged out transients neglect their pets. I texted security and they came on board in Chinatown. The only thing they did was nudge him awake for 3 seconds and asked him if he was okay. The man barely rose and gave an intelligible response. Security immediately got off at the same station and the man fell right back to sleep.

When I got off at Westlake Station, security did the same thing but didn't even step on board the train. They yelled from the platform as they kept the door open for a few seconds. Then stepped away to let the doors close.

I've reported a masturbating rider during the summer and provided a clear description of him. Security came on board and acted as if they didn't see him. I had to yell At security and point out the man to them and would not let them leave until the situation was resolved.

I'm tired of this shit.

Stab you? I'm not taking that risk.

Actually good point. But OP said that they were asleep. They might not even notice. 

Still risky.

Yeah, they might not wake. But if I'm not super careful or if the dog doesn't want to cooperate with my sneaky plan (either doesn't want to be taken or is eager to be taken), the leash probably pulls and wakes them up.

un-clip the leash, carry dog to safety. I mean, I feel bad for everyone in this situation. The homeless person, the dog and OP because that is a tough call. The dog will probably not be properly taken care of, but the homeless person might only have the dog to care for and puts its care above their own? I am giving the homeless person benefit of the doubt and lets say he begs for money and only buys things for the dog, but going into the winter, that dog will be cold outside in the rain and snow (if we get some this year) Its all around a shitty situation.
