She was fighting her a**! You go, bus driver!🎉
But why was she fighting her?
She was dragged of the bus that’s why?
@@tatygirl90 According to reports, the homeless woman started attacking the driver when she refused to let her on the bus. Apparently the bus driver had problems with the homeless woman before.
@@raymondjohnson6002 She wasn't dragged. She was defending herself!
She wasn't doing anything. She had the upper hand several times and lost it by not finishing the kick or (stupidly) turning her back on her.
As a bus driver the mental ill is hard to deal with.
Correct
Probably criminal mentality as well
What I believe the government and doctors are making people mentally ill. I’m pregnant and have severe morning sickness and the doctor prescribed me a medication in my IV. The medication had me so messed up that I was going crazy and had to stop myself from fighting. I made the nurse take the IV out my arm before half of the fluids were finished. I was so anxious and uncomfortable I immediately went home. The doctor actually asked me if I wanted a prescription of the same medication to take at home I told her “no”.
Question how do you guys know this is mental illness and not just the way this woman is?
@@mariel.4566They used you as an experiment. 😞
Attacking a bus driver is supposed to be an automatic felony
This is LA. She'll be out immediately on no bail.
In Washington, it's a felony.
It dont mean anything when the DA refuses to prosecute.
Its a felony in chicago you can get up to 10 years for assaulting a bus driver they don't play in chicago
A felony? Those junkies would love to go to prison for free meals and healthcare.
Never turned you back when you defending yourself but at least the bus driver fight back
AS A (🥊BOXER🥊), "👉🏾I HAVE NEVER EVER (TURNT) MY (BACK) IN ANY SITUATION.. ESPECIALLY NOT IN A STREET-FIGHT WITH A RANDOM PERSON WHO'S IN A FULL-OUT-RAGE... I MEAN, "👉🏾YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO QUICKLY (ELIMINATE) THE (THREAT) AT HAND FIRST..
"👉🏾THAN YOU TAKE THE NEXT STEP IN REGARDS TO YOUR (SURROUNDINGS).. LIKE FOR EXAMPLE IN THIS CASE,
WHEN THE BUS-DRIVER TURNT HER BACK,
"👉🏾JUST THAT SPLIT-SECOND ALONE WAS ENOUGH TIME FOR THE HOMELESS LADY TO CAUSE BRUTAL-DAMAGE.. SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE WOULD HAVE CLEARLY (BLINDSIDED) THE CARELESS DRIVER, & TOOK FULL ADVANTAGE OF EVERY LITTLE (OPPORTUNITY) SHE POSSIBLY COULD DURING THE ALTERCATION... I MEAN, YOU (MUST) BE (AWARE) AT ALL TIMES.. HENCE,
"👉🏾NO 1 IS (SAFE) OUT-HERE!!!🤷🏾🥱💯
Never turn your back in a fight.I understand she wasn't paying.But i would have just let her on.Because it's not worth your life.Thank god the driver wasn't hurt.
Agree.....Never, ever turn your back on someone you just had a fight or argument with....Family, so-call friend or stranger
True, but her employer probably wanted her to do that. They don't want to be sued. People have been fired for defending themselves.
Entitled homeless people
I have a lot of those in my family it’s embarrassing! Growing up with the same opportunities and in the same environment with the same privileges but yet they made the wrong choices in life, wanted to be followers and hang with the “cool kids” and can’t realize they are responsible and accountable for their own actions in their lives, blaming everyone but themselves ! Smdh
😂
Was this post supposed to be ironic? Isn’t it entitled to think denying homeless people free rides is okay, when everyone else is allowed free rides?
Discriminated.
You guys know there’s a difference between being homeless and Mentally ill I am homeless now I’m not Attacking people
In Hawaii interference with a transit operator is a automatic 5 year prison sentence and is a Class C felony
What does that mean, "interference with a transit operator"? If I ask for directions that could be viewed as an "interference".
its probably when driver is in the act of driving already. interfering the driver while driving can be really dangerous. either driver hit someone or somehit them because theyre out of control
They'll be happy free room and board plus food
In New York, it's 7 years if convicted.......BIG "IF"!!!!! DAs just seem to not wanna do their jobs, and even appease and make excuses for the criminals!!!
@@kyngdarius774 I guess there is no way to discipline people when, they feel everything is their right.
Perhaps this is why there is so much crime in the US. It's the most dangerous of all "western world" countries.
And not a single person is helping the driver, only recording with their phones…
Reminds me of a black mirror episode
I live in Los Angeles but I am from New Mexico. Unfortunately, it is VERY Rare for anyone to help and get involved when things like this happen because of a combination of not wanting to get hurt themselves and a "Mind your own business" Mindset. I remember one time in front of my apartment complex there was a red car that stopped on his brakes suddenly (and loudly) when passing in front of the building and he started yelling at the girl in his passenger tell her to get out of the car, she refused while telling him that she didn't know the area or where she was at and to at least take her somewhere familiar so she could get herself home. As this was happening, other tenants from my building and other people from the neighborhood started to come outside little by little to watch what was going on from a distance. He then got out of the car, went to the passenger door, opened it, and then started to try and drag her out of the car. She was holding on to something in the car itself while he was trying to drag her out and whatever she was holding onto broke (you could hear the loud crack that happened) and she came flying out the passenger side, see frantically tried to get back in but then he just starts wailing at her, hitting her all over the place. When he initially tried to drag her out of the car, I said I was gonna call 911 and the amount of people that tried to stop and shame me for calling was unbelievable. Their excuses arranged from "you should mind your own business" to "you don't know what the initial fight is about so why bother?" My response was "Umm, because he's pulling on her arms and legs so hard that he could dislocate them!" I called 911 and they transferred me to the police department because it "wasn't an emergency". I stayed on hold with the police department all the way up until he started hitting her when he finally dragged her out of car. I then hung up and recalled 911 and this time they actually took a description and account of what was going on. That guy ended up getting back in his car and driving off, the girl was crying and she walked all the way to the end of the block until the police came (which was about 35 minutes later). I don't know what happened after that but it was just crazy to me that nobody wanted to get involved even up to the point of calling the police and then trying to shame me for doing so. WILD!
Who wants to help when everything is an F lawsuit or prosecution 😮
@@bryangpalma8211 TRUE THAT!
@@luigi57968Yeah that happens in most cities. Yet when the said mind your own business people is attacked they cry for help.
She needs to be charged with assault and then ban from public transportation forever. United States need to reopen mental institutions.
BS. You don't know if that woman was crazy. Just because we don't know why doesn't mean there wasn't a reason. Even if she was pissed because the bus driver wouldn't let her on that's the reason that she acted a fool. NOT because she was crazy. Some people are just ignorant!
@Mztee0731 I'm sorry to break this to you, but this is NOT how you're supposed to conduct yourself in public! If you're denied entry, that doesn't warrant you to go wild! Wtf
@@Metal_Face_Doom - we already know this. I was JUST saying that her behavior may not have anything to do with a mental illness. Some people act a fool for other reasons: money, revenge, anger, showing off etc. They're acting a fool, yes. But crazy ( literally) no
Why dont these idiot officials make it mandatory for any bus to have a bulletproof door to separate the bus driver from the passengers
They should be able to concealed carry
Bc they would require more from taxpayers so they can divert funds to DEI projects.
i wish as a transit driver myself but the biggest issues is being ada complaint/accessible thats truly whats holding us back from have a drivers only compartment
A bus is not a plane
And also have small notches in it the driver can shoot through so if a crazed gunmen gets on the driver can be like "Hey can you move to your left a little bit"
Why are people recording and not helping!?
it's california... would you like to spend the night in jail for assault/battery?
@@andylin6560 honestly, to help this woman out, I would
The new norm. People are more concerned about getting likes on their social than helping someone in a situation like we used to.
It's probably because of people getting stabbed.
Because people are concerned about getting sued Or they are focused on getting Likes on their social media.
This is happening in NY too. We need security everywhere.
No need for police and stuff it's too much cost. You just have to join a gym and train.
@@neilmenon8943 I already know martial arts and I can box. I have a training gym at home. Yes, I can defend myself if I have to. But no one is worth going to prison for. I know myself. I will hurt them first and think about the consequences later on. I’m not afraid of anything. But I want to live a little while longer. I have 4 brothers they taught me how to defend myself against my attackers. I want my freedom a little while longer. Thanks for the advice.
I've been a public bus rider for most of my life. It is so unfortunate that this is happening to dedicated transit drivers who is just trying to make a living.
You gotta have at least a shank just to ride the bus in LA
Generally speaking but w/the way you people are out here, it would only cause more problems
@@patriciafettuccine7324 So stay in the house poos-c
Hey That's The Honest Truth I Agree
The same here in NYC
@@user-xv5zm7uh2lI was just gonna say that
My step dad is driver for the LA Metro and we have to treat him like he is police officer that might not come home after a shift. It’s scary! Can’t even drive people where they need to go without being threatened.
So sorry the world is this way😿
He should be able to concealed carry
Does he get hazard pay? I hope so, and if not the drivers should go on strike and demand it.
Women go to jail time
@@tru3sk1ll I agree. They need some form of protection!
Homeless people with violent tendencies or arrest records should be isolated so they do not harm regular citizens.
The driver's high kicks got her good.😂
Two sweet ones to the belly.
One time I saw a homeless lady push a pedestrian on to oncoming traffic. Thankfully the pedestrian was not hurt. The police didn't do anything about this incident. Several people have called the police to complain about this lady. She's affecting businesses because pedestrians are afraid to walk to work or go shopping.
The problem isn’t the homeless themselves, it’s the Mentality Ill who have no where to go or live.
They _should_ be in Mental Health Facilities, but most of those are all shut down, now they run wild in the streets bc they’d not mentally capable of paying rent or dealing with things required to have a home.
There’s one where I live who sleeps in the grocery store parking lot and frequently has screaming rage fits and sometimes walks up to the drive thru line and threatens anyone and everyone.
If the police won’t do anything, it’s time for people to take measures into their own hands.
Then pedestrians in California need to remember how they handled Ramirez. 🤨
@@thespear4083You better preach! 👏🏾
Why is nobody trying to stop or help her, people rather watch or record than step up and help, smh 💯
It's probably the street cameras.
too easy to get sued
Why should they get involved, if a bus driver decides to get into a physical altercation because someone refuses to pay their fare? She is the bus driver not a security guard. Besides the recording helped, it even compelled you to comment.
@@freemind1047 can’t wait until it happens to someone you love and you wonder why, plus it looked like she was forced into physical confrontation so 👍yeah
@@qdukez You’re contradicting yourself. You pose as a concerned citizen then wish harm on my family -lol. The reporter clearly said the women attacked the driver after being refused entry to the bus for not paying. Don’t be emotional about it, just think it through. And, yes if someone in my family worked in public like this I would tell them not be a hero for something so frivolous. You would advise your family to fight on the street with people who are clearly deranged over something small in value. SMH. Good day sir!
The homeless woman was so serious and trying her best while the bus driver was multitasking.
All bus drivers need to carry what ever it takes to protect yourselves against this kind of violence...
Finally, the news has corrected themselves that the Dash is free, and this incident was not based off of fare. I have no idea why the operator denied access to the woman, but personally for me that allows everyone to board no matter the fare, has denied patrons access to due a past serious problem or multiple past problems that I have deems it is unsafe to allow the person onboard.
Examples: A woman defecated in her seat 13 times, no longer picked her up. A male bringing food on the bus 3 times, each time through the food behind the seat against the window, no longer picked up. An older male always sitting next to teenage girls and talking to them to a point they would move, definitely no longer getting picked up. Some homeless unfortunately smell so bad, riders are vomiting or sticking their heads out the window, can no longer pick up. Regular rider cursing everyone out, including children, no longer picking up. Etc., bus operators usually deny the problem riders if they care.
Why did it take 13 times for poop lady to be denied a ride? That’s a hazmat issue for everyone involved. But 13 times someone had to clean it up 🤮🤮🤮
@@weskelly4538 The policy is as long as the person gets on NOT soiled, then we are required to pick up. Once on board, if they start using the bathroom in the seat, we can’t do anything about it. I followed the policy and did an incident report on each occasion until a supervisor finally told me, STOP PICKING HER UP😂. Doesn’t matter if she dry, SHE SOILED. REFUSE SERVICE🤣
Thank you.
@@deandrebuggs3494 that is wild. I’m sorry you and the rest of the riders had to go thru that. Sounds awful.
Wait, is Kim Kardashian safe tonight in LA ? That's all that matters. Was the Met Gala protected ? Ok 🌈 good. That's all that matters. Are Kathy Hokel and Gavin Newsomething safe and protected by security detail with guns ? Oh, ok, good 🌈 because that's all I was worried about. The average Citizen doesn't matter. 🍼 Is Bette Midler's Nanny safe ? Please, make sure alright ! 🌈
Pepper spray? Taser? One gush to the eye that lady be on the ground 💯
I say both
You’ll be arrested, spend a night in jail waiting on signature bond or pay bail. Then it’s 2+ years of showing up couple times a month in a court room am-pm during the work week until name is called, just so they can tell you this new date. But they always ask: “you pleading guilty to assault with a weapon?”
What happens when both parties have tasers / pepper spray ?
@@Vamanos46 The person who is homeless is allowed to have weapons because they do not have the mental capacity to determine what they are doing wrong.
But it is slightly a stalemate if you can prove that you have severe mental health issues like ptsd and it has effected work and income.
They should be able to concealed carry
People don't appreciate security until they need security 😂😂
that barrier opened way too easily.
She might have been homeless but she's got makeup
Gypsy lady. She's never outta makeup! She's just like you and me but she's homeless. 😀
She probably wasn’t homeless just maybe high on drugs
@@carcher3279 😂😂😂😂 I see what you did 😂😂😂😂
Yh and these homeless ppl with smart phones
Homeless wear makeup, sheesh,
this is why she has nothing
Why?
her mind won't allow her to prosper
@@stephenw.9647 Which one though?
@@tatygirl90The hobo, genius.
Props to the person chose to film this rather than to help out, u da man 👍
In the Late 80s and early 90s bus Drivers didnt have to worry about getting in altercations only Graffiti on the RTD
Yeah calls for more security then cries and sues when security intervenes
And the security guy gets arrested
Welcome to our world. Damned if we do,damned if we don't...
Small ones but not your city all life
100% agree
They wanna put security on the bus but don't give them anything to protect they self.
Get rid of the Ambassadors and
Replace them with security Officers
We need mental health therapists and community advocates 😂. Defund the police
@@Frediewon2be that is not working out. Need more police especially in large cities.
And who pays for that? The people who live in California are already overtaxed. But they deserve it for voting blue.
Instead of making annoying comments while flipping burgers....why dont you to college and make an actual difference in the world
@@jinsu0504 Only thing I am Flipping is your grammar how you going to send me to college when you can’t even spell a sentence right
Why don’t you to college !?!?
And as the economy burns and it gets worse expect instances like this to only skyrocket.
Oh yea cuz these things never happened in the past 🙄
I've been riding he metro train since January and I've never seen any police on the trains. They are always in their cars in the parking lot.
Sadly sum police r entitled too or just on a donut 🍩 brake lazy- we will go a step further as they r probably craping their trousers now knowing they actually have to b of action not intimidation / plus most likely scared 😳 of 😨 much reap sow !
We need effective and well-staffed mental institutions. Unfortunately, those are very expensive and we don't like paying for them.
waste of taxpayers money. these people don't need help, they refuse to better themselves. They're more useful being test subjects.
lol brutal 😂@@spd23racer
Go to the average "homeless" camp & you'll see plenty of not-inexpensive items such as tents, cooking equipment, sleeping bags & even (I kid you not) RVs and trailers. Somebody is sure as hell paying for all that stuff now & I very much doubt it's the "homeless" thugs.

Just two days ago someone assaulted a bus driver outside my house, police need to do more!
Like what, exactly? Even if they make an arrest, the DA or some "judge" will most likely just give them a pissant little slap on the wrist & let them loose to cause more mayhem.
@@MrPGC137 It funny. When people see crime is high. The first and only reason they think why is the police. When it fact it is the laws, DA and Democrats which these people elected in power. The police are doing the arrest. The system won't keep them behind bars.
They need a security guard on each bus, it’ll provide more jobs and keeps drivers and passengers safer
I posted the same thing.
And not on guard, perhaps two.
@@vswayz490I was about to say the same
There is no money to pay them.
The money is not only going to the pockets of the indifferent politicians in charge of LA and California, but its still going to that very tiny area in eastern Europe called Ukraine.
@@scottjulie27well someone gotta pay em
I’m still unclear as to why the woman was denied access
I was thinking that too, 9f the bus is free, unless she was already violent and belligerent, I’m thinking that’s the reason.
Charge and convict the attacker in black. How many times has she done this?
9 times
This is what happen when crime don’t get punishment, animal on the lose
You can thank Reagan for doing away with mental health facilities.
2:54 she’s going to be free in a few minutes. And we are going to hear the same story, another person commits a crime with “a lengthy criminal history”. No repercussions 😢😢😢
Working with the public is hard as HELL
George Garçon will care for the criminal
He's always been since he was DA of San Francisco he brought all the problems from over there. Some people get what they deserve for voting for that scumbag😡!
At least when Jackie Lacey was DA of Los Angeles before we never had those problems before until now😢.
@@user-hk8nw2pe1o When Cyrus Vance was Manhattan’s D.A. When I moved here in 1998, criminals went to Rikers Island for a year before their court date. Now with George Soros funded Alvin no bail Bragg, they’re home for dinner.
How about giving them a permanent home in jail?
That lady wasn't playing.
California is the most getto state nowadays, with a few others in close second.
Homeless people everywhere tents all over the place...
even in Fresno California thire are homeless people sorry for getting off topic.
She ate all the food in the shelter and left nothing behind.
And then, in her crazed frenzy, she was still hungry for some fresh flesh, so she jumped onboard the bus in an attempted to devour the actual driver.
Former law enforcement and military veteran now in the private sector. Properly trained Security Officers are crucial these days for Public Safety. Crime is on the rise and there are less people wanting to be in law enforcement and I don't blame them. The job is a double edged sword. I personally believe the Security Officers are part of the First Responders umbrella. But not all Security companies are the same, which means the quality of Officers those companies have will vary. Nonetheless, they are vital to keeping the public safe these days. Just make sure to hire a company that's well trained, well equipped and highly capable of doing more than just observe and report.
My heart goes out to the bus driver. They go through so much😢
There was a stabbing on metro last week I don’t think it made it on the news tho
Wasnt it corrected ?
@@pigjubby1 No, tht hppnd a good few weeks ago, actually.
Let’s just hope and pray they weren’t fooled by Jenny’s rocks
@@hakimbandaru1915 You mean the ones from the block?
Buddy of mine that works in the ER tells me they get stabbing victims every week from the Metro. All of them linked to homeless. Most of them go unreported
You have to know how to fight too unfortunately... You gotta have your own back
She stood her ground though, "get tf off" 😂
Lol 🤣
Single mothers raise THE BEST children.
Married couples with touch, caress, and feel fathers do better huh?
Arm up, who cares what the rules are when your own government sure as hell doesnt. The people will have to take back the streets themselves or else this will continue to get worse.
They should be able to concealed carry
Yup, better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. You can get out of jail but you CAN'T get out of the grave.
@@thefox47545 Interesting expression. First time I hear it. (or read it, in this case).
Don't STOP FOR THEM AND DONT LET THEM ON THE BUS.
If other people are at the bus stop with her that’ll be impossible
But how do you know who to pick up?
@@pinktaco646 some already act crazy, and some do not pay..a bunch of clues, and they'd also look like her.😬😬😬😳
I don’t think that’s really possible sadly
They don’t pay these folks enough to deal with this mess !
Damn that looks like a rich homeless woman
Homeless not broke 😅
The city does not care, The Mayor doesn’t care. They let anyone on the bus, without paying fare. People get on, sleep on the bus, bring all their junk. It’s bad
Yup, for this reason I haven't used public transit for 20 years until recently when I was stranded 6 miles from home. I figured "what could go wrong?" Well, a homeless lady made it difficult so I got off and walked the remaining 2 miles.
Yeah, some people just walk on the bus without paying before bording.
@@isaacogunmuko3947 Which begs the question (no pun intended) - Then why do some people even pay at all? If it's a free ride for 'some', it should be that way for all.
This is the norm in democrat ran cities.
This is one reason why I'm glad I was stuck being a truck driver and not a bus driver. And this is why I avoid cities like Baltimore and Philadelphia
If Dash is free why was she denied?
Maybe the bus was at maximum capacity. What difference does it make? Are you hanging to a sliver of hope that the trashy criminal is actually the victim? If so why? What do you get out of being one of these people looking for any way possible to defend bad people?
@@EsotericOccultist I would not have reacted like her by any means. However, as a taxpayer, if the city offers a free service and I'm excluded from it I need to know why.
The ride is free but acting a fool has it consequences
Homelessness is just part of the scenery here in the United States and here sunny Southern California. 🇺🇸☀️🏝️
That scenery seems to escalate violent threats pretty quickly.
Was the bus empty? Why did no passenger help defend the driver?
That is what I was wondering? Why didn’t any men help the lady bus driver? The bus 🚌 driver’s safety door 🚪 was partially open at the beginning of the attack. So, maybe the bus was empty and the driver was about to go on break? I don’t know. I am just speculating 🤔 but this situation is not cool. I am glad that the bus driver is ok ✅ and her attacker was arrested.
Because people don't wanna get involved in the situation. No ones knew if that lady had a gun with her. And could fire at the gun at the bus driver or anyone who helps the bus driver.
The driver is wrong that's why!!!
Because people don't want to be charged by the LAPD for getting physically involved, the Californian government won't do anything about all the violent crime they have enabled but won't hesitate to go after law abiding citizens if they had to resort to use force to defend themselves in life and death situations
@@BrotherB16 , Sounds like NYC. SMH
The fact no one bothered to help her
My sister is a Nurse in Hollywood. It’s extremely dangerous to be a Nurse in that area. The ERs need more male nurses, too many homeless and mentally ill people. Many just go to hospitals to fill beds like it’s a hotel and sleep and get free hospital food.
They need to arm the transit employees to protect themselves!! Lawsuits need to be brought against the city to force them to provide protection to employees!!
She was safe in that enclosure, she should’ve stayed there
I'm not too sure about that. Those panes of plexiglass (or plastic, whatever) ain't that solid, & ain't that thick. And judging by the video (feel free to go back & have a closer look if needed) that beluga lady was well on her way to slamming it all the way into the driver's seat where the driver was still seated, which could potentially have led to the exertion of bone-crushing pressure, under her considerable, flabby weight. Those drivers are truly putting their lives & limbs at risk on a daily basis unfortunately, especially in a place like that one. (Yes, THAT one).
I remember I applied for a job as bus driver back when they had job fair. It was a job fair for homeless people at the time. Lucky I didn't get hired. I would have probably be the driver who fight with this homeless person
this is called entitlement. Homeless individuals know what they can get away with.
I wasn't aware "Big Mike", took the Bus !!!
If there is no fare....how can she be denied for having to pay nothing?
I hope she doesn’t lose her job, I have read that other bus operator in her situation was fired.
That spokesperson has the most incredible voice!
What’s sad is someone would rather record than help
Yes I would rather record Californians that help them out of what they keep voting for.
Let them carry
This is why I left LA. I’ll always miss California but I do not miss constantly having to look over my shoulder in broad daylight. Even as a guy, I couldn’t feel 100 percent safe in crowded areas in broad daylight. I now understand what my friends from Brazil felt like growing up. California is being run to the ground.
Mexico City has a similar in size population, so does Mumbai. They dont have this problem.
That's because these countries have good social programs that help people and life is overall more affordable. In the usa, everyone is responsible for themselves, very few social services and extremely high cost of living.
@@chrisdonish Net social spending, Mexico and India aren't even in the top 20. We're #16.
@tfustudios idgf abt where the usa ranks, the majority of the us social services are available to the elderly and single mothers, not the majority of the population, however the cost of living is a bigger contributer, it's a lower in these countries and people are generally less stressed and less likely to be homeless despite being on average poorer than americans.
@@chrisdonish Give me an example of one of Mexico's 'good social programs'?
@tfustudios prospera is one example, it helps families that cant afford the cost of housing, childcare or Healthcare. However like I said before, the cost of living and culture plays a bigger role. People are a lot less likely to be homeless in Mexico than the usa.
I thought it was illegal to refuse a homeless person a ride
Really
Umm why was she denied entry? It doesn't make sense.
I live in the Midwest. I grew up catching the bus and didn't learn how to drive until I was 30. The last time I took a bus, a homeless man went off on me because I wouldn't respond to his advances. The bus driver did nothing.
My car is down right now, so I've been catching the bus. Honestly, it has gotten so much worse. It's scary. I understand people have issues, but safety should be the most important thing.
0:21 she should go to jail
they need to put a bus marshal 24/7
Bus marshals, air marshals equals tax payers money 💵
bouncers or private security paid for by workers comp
P.S. And WHY doesn't anyone step in to help the bus 🚌 driver?!? 🤯
Did I hear the reporter say that the dash bus service has been free to ride since COVID? If this service is still free, than why was the homeless woman denied access, which resulted in the altercation? ? ?
Calls for increased security on public transit will continue for another 100 years and nothing will happen until voters put responsible and competent leaders into public offices.
The people that use these services do not have the voting power to change anything.
gloves on the criminal , no fingerprints!, not so crazy, a pro criminal
I spent a few days in LA, and it was rough. The busses are horrible…The Hollywood and Vine Station was just scary
Why would you turn your back to the other person when you're in a fight is beyond me.

The door was her security until she came through it.
2:08 A transient ? What does that even mean?
Yea that's we call the homeless. We are not allowed to call them anything else. I have plenty of content on how i deal with them.
Derelict.
They don’t want to be accused of being hobophobic

Defunding law enforcement was such a successful endeavor.
Way to put your lack of knowledge on full display. Stay ignorant.
It happened in MADISON, WISCONSIN recently also - WTH is going on!?!
As a New Yorker from NYC, and as one who used to work in corporate security where I regularly had to interact with all sorts of people with issues, I understand the feeling of going to work every day and never knowing when the day will come when I will find myself having to physically defend myself from junkies, crazies, etc. These workers don't have any type of protective equipment or immediate backup. It is not a good feeling, and I deeply empathize with all transit workers, as well as my fellow security workers, who have to regularly interact with the public. Something has to be done about this. It is not fair, and frankly, there will come a day when workers will start to wonder en masse whether the job is worth the risk...
Question
Why doesn't anyone help someone who is being hurt?
Because we got lives
