Amtrak called for the deportation of older black women in Colorado
Amtrak recently landed on people’s “naughty list” for a situation that resulted in two passengers being dropped off in Grand Junction, Colorado, en route to Chicago.
The whole situation revolved around a Pomeranian having a bowel movement
News of the incident came through TikTok after a user walked by @bellskunk uploaded a series of disturbing videos.
In the first TikTok, a couple of officers speak to two black passengers, and the videographer says the women are “abused.”
After officers told the women that Amtrak has the right to kick them out for any reason, the man recording the interaction says the matter arose “because their little pooch had to take a poop” that was cleaned. He also says the ordeal is linked to racism as he remains committed to her.

A follow-up video shows officers continuing to interact with the women before escorting them off the train with their belongings.

In a third upload, the videographer accused the conductor of “professional misconduct”.

Amtrak employee appears to stand by decision to boot the women: ‘Sounds about right’
Finally, in a “Part 4” upload, the user confronts two Amtrak employees after the ride is stopped. The first man says he has “no comment” on the situation, while another employee suggested the women deserved to be sacked for allegedly not following protocol.

Social media is calling Amtrak, and the company is responding by hiding answers
Further criticism came via Twitter as people lobbied to spread the word and hold Amtrak accountable.
Notice how when the man told the cops he was a witness, the cop let him speak until he realized the man was speaking for the black women?

Fuck the police
Fuck Amtrak
and fuck every single white supremacist that sat there in silence except the man recording.— Child of Ferrix (@Phllp_Wnslw) December 25, 2022
Under a tweet Amtrak made a flood of users the day after Christmas, flooding the company with angry reactions to the video in question. However, many of these answers were hidden, which only led to further criticism.
Our hearts go out to the two elderly black women who kicked you off the train in the freezing temperatures at Christmas.

Amtrak wants to pretend they didn’t leave two women out in the rain because their dog took a shit. They do. They were in charge and cleaned up. Seems like Amtrak will just shit on their own floor and they’ll just leave it there.

Wow, @Amtrak STILL hides the replies of people who are new 1 minute ago. This has become a full blown PR nightmare. The public wants to know why Amtrak is calling the police at Christmas and leaving older black women stranded in the freezing cold. WTF pic.twitter.com/ol6qLgphcB

Additionally, Amtrak has generated some buzz in the comments from some recently Instagram uploading. However, Amtrak has not acknowledged the ordeal in any public media statement.
What do you think of the matter?
