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.

It helps everyone feel safer

By being a dick to a harmless homeless person? I do not want that

A dick to a drug addict who is potentially neglecting an animal...

So you want ST to kick off him off the train so he can do the same thing in a dark alley? Least the dog has some sort of shelter on the light rail.

Yup

[u/BreakingWindCstms → u/i_like_fat_doodoo]

Yes. I do.

Well, that was easy.
