After all, we have been working to keep ahead of the aging, and we're doing that as best we can,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem occurred on a section of track between Fruitvale and Coliseum stations, where the rail ties were recently replaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're looking at how this occured, and if we need to do anything differently,\" said Allison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The damaged train car has been taken to one of BART's facilities in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This update has been corrected to reflect that the problem was not a \"fire\" but an electrical bolt that caused smoke to enter the train. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, Thursday 10:10 a.m.:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART reports that all stations are now open on the Fremont line and that normal service has been restored.

She’s the woman who plays the unwilling starring role in the harrowing video above, from \u003ca href=\"http://abc7news.com/news/exclusive-woman-files-suit-against-east-bay-police-alleging-excessive-force-/681205/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABC7 News\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheehan, 28, had too much to drink on St. Patrick’s Day 2014 — she admits what’s obvious in some of the body-cam video used in the ABC7 report — and wound up at BART’s Lake Merritt Station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There, BART says, officers determined she was in no condition to take care of herself. She cursed officers, pushed one of them and kicked another in the face as they took her into custody, the agency says. BART police Officer Nolan Pianta drove her to the Alameda County Jail in Santa Rita to be booked on charges of public intoxication, resisting arrest and battery on a police officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a federal lawsuit against Pianta, BART and others, Sheehan’s attorneys concede that she urinated in Pianta’s car on the way to jail. In a case management statement, a document (\u003ca href=\"#sheehancase\">embedded below\u003c/a>) that reflects both sides’ contentions, BART’s lawyers are more explicit: “While being escorted to the entrance to the jail, [Sheehan] attempted to press her buttocks up against Officer Pianta’s leg in an attempt to transfer urine onto his pants; Officer Pianta kept plaintiff at arm’s length and thus, she was unsuccessful in this endeavor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case management statement also describes what happened when Pianta and Sheehan arrived at the jail’s booking desk:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Plaintiff was initially compliant during the booking process. However, her demeanor changed and she threw a hair tie at Officer Pianta which struck the officer. Inexplicably, plaintiff then began looking through her purse and refused the officer’s instructions to stop doing so. Plaintiff attempted to pull the purse away from him. Officer Pianta then placed plaintiff in an arm bar control hold to gain compliance. Plaintiff began resisting and attempted to punch the officer. Acting in self-defense, the officer used an arm bar takedown and guided plaintiff to the ground. Moments later the officer observed blood coming from plaintiff’s facial area and medical assistance was requested. …\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>For what it’s worth, that account seems to soften what Pianta wrote in his police report of the incident, which described the takedown of Sheehan as a response to her “violently punching with a closed fist at my face.” He also describes using an “arm-bar” technique to “guide her to the ground.” So, you get a couple of clear impressions: An officer was reacting to a persistent physical threat, and he exercised care in “guiding” Sheehan to gain control of her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it happens, the scene was recorded from several angles on multiple devices, including officers’ body cameras and jail security video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No two people will see these videos precisely the same way. But it’s awfully hard to square Pianta’s and BART’s account with what the cameras captured. Yes, Sheehan was noncompliant. Did she pose a threat? That’s not evident. The contention that Pianta “guided” Sheehan to the ground? Well, we can let the list of her injuries, inventoried at Eden Hospital and reported in the case management statement, speak to that claim:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Principal problem:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Fracture: \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_blowout_fracture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">left orbital floor blowout\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Active Problems:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Loss of consciousness\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Fracture: Left maxillary depressed comminuted anterior wall, nondisplaced medial wall, displaced lateral wall\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Left orbital wall lateral displaced \u003ca href=\"comminuted%20fracture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">comminuted fracture\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Fracture: medial wall right maxillary antrum\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Concussion with brief loss of consciousness\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eyelid laceration\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Lip laceration\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Less clinically, part of Sheehan’s face was shattered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video of the incident is sickening — an impression reinforced by the involuntary gasps of witnesses. Stated simply: Pianta slams Sheehan face first into the floor. You can hear a gruesome crack as she hits. There’s no evidence he attempted to “guide” or control Sheehan as he propelled her downward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How to explain such a use of force? Sheehan’s attorney, John Houston Scott of San Francisco, told ABC7: “She was uncooperative. She was intoxicated. And I believe she had to be taught a lesson. In police jargon, she flunked the attitude test.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It appears that what happened to Sheehan caused barely a ripple inside BART itself. A spokesman for the agency says BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey reviewed and “signed off” on a report on the episode. Pianta was never placed on administrative leave, the agency says, and remains on the job. However, the lawsuit over the assault — it’s hard to call it anything else — has apparently prompted some action: both BART police internal affairs investigators and the department’s independent police auditor are conducting inquiries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheehan has asked for a jury to hear the suit, which alleges Pianta used excessive force and violated her constitutional rights. It’s hard to see that happening, given the video evidence. BART and other defendants will presumably settle rather than open the way to endless replays of Sheehan being brutalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that won’t end the matter. BART will still need to make a public accounting for how it’s handling the case of an officer whose own account of his actions appears to differ so wildly from what the video shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Post updated to include details of BART’s handling of Sheehan case to date. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"sheehancase\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/263808561/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_16607\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

She’s the woman who plays the unwilling starring role in the harrowing video above, from \u003ca href=\"http://abc7news.com/news/exclusive-woman-files-suit-against-east-bay-police-alleging-excessive-force-/681205/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABC7 News\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheehan, 28, had too much to drink on St. Patrick’s Day 2014 — she admits what’s obvious in some of the body-cam video used in the ABC7 report — and wound up at BART’s Lake Merritt Station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There, BART says, officers determined she was in no condition to take care of herself. She cursed officers, pushed one of them and kicked another in the face as they took her into custody, the agency says. BART police Officer Nolan Pianta drove her to the Alameda County Jail in Santa Rita to be booked on charges of public intoxication, resisting arrest and battery on a police officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a federal lawsuit against Pianta, BART and others, Sheehan’s attorneys concede that she urinated in Pianta’s car on the way to jail. In a case management statement, a document (\u003ca href=\"#sheehancase\">embedded below\u003c/a>) that reflects both sides’ contentions, BART’s lawyers are more explicit: “While being escorted to the entrance to the jail, [Sheehan] attempted to press her buttocks up against Officer Pianta’s leg in an attempt to transfer urine onto his pants; Officer Pianta kept plaintiff at arm’s length and thus, she was unsuccessful in this endeavor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case management statement also describes what happened when Pianta and Sheehan arrived at the jail’s booking desk:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Plaintiff was initially compliant during the booking process. However, her demeanor changed and she threw a hair tie at Officer Pianta which struck the officer. Inexplicably, plaintiff then began looking through her purse and refused the officer’s instructions to stop doing so. Plaintiff attempted to pull the purse away from him. Officer Pianta then placed plaintiff in an arm bar control hold to gain compliance. Plaintiff began resisting and attempted to punch the officer. Acting in self-defense, the officer used an arm bar takedown and guided plaintiff to the ground. Moments later the officer observed blood coming from plaintiff’s facial area and medical assistance was requested. …\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>For what it’s worth, that account seems to soften what Pianta wrote in his police report of the incident, which described the takedown of Sheehan as a response to her “violently punching with a closed fist at my face.” He also describes using an “arm-bar” technique to “guide her to the ground.” So, you get a couple of clear impressions: An officer was reacting to a persistent physical threat, and he exercised care in “guiding” Sheehan to gain control of her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it happens, the scene was recorded from several angles on multiple devices, including officers’ body cameras and jail security video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No two people will see these videos precisely the same way. But it’s awfully hard to square Pianta’s and BART’s account with what the cameras captured. Yes, Sheehan was noncompliant. Did she pose a threat? That’s not evident. The contention that Pianta “guided” Sheehan to the ground? Well, we can let the list of her injuries, inventoried at Eden Hospital and reported in the case management statement, speak to that claim:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Principal problem:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Fracture: \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_blowout_fracture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">left orbital floor blowout\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Active Problems:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Loss of consciousness\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Fracture: Left maxillary depressed comminuted anterior wall, nondisplaced medial wall, displaced lateral wall\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Left orbital wall lateral displaced \u003ca href=\"comminuted%20fracture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">comminuted fracture\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Fracture: medial wall right maxillary antrum\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Concussion with brief loss of consciousness\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eyelid laceration\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Lip laceration\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Less clinically, part of Sheehan’s face was shattered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video of the incident is sickening — an impression reinforced by the involuntary gasps of witnesses. Stated simply: Pianta slams Sheehan face first into the floor. You can hear a gruesome crack as she hits. There’s no evidence he attempted to “guide” or control Sheehan as he propelled her downward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How to explain such a use of force? Sheehan’s attorney, John Houston Scott of San Francisco, told ABC7: “She was uncooperative. She was intoxicated. And I believe she had to be taught a lesson. In police jargon, she flunked the attitude test.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It appears that what happened to Sheehan caused barely a ripple inside BART itself. A spokesman for the agency says BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey reviewed and “signed off” on a report on the episode. Pianta was never placed on administrative leave, the agency says, and remains on the job. However, the lawsuit over the assault — it’s hard to call it anything else — has apparently prompted some action: both BART police internal affairs investigators and the department’s independent police auditor are conducting inquiries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheehan has asked for a jury to hear the suit, which alleges Pianta used excessive force and violated her constitutional rights. It’s hard to see that happening, given the video evidence. BART and other defendants will presumably settle rather than open the way to endless replays of Sheehan being brutalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that won’t end the matter. BART will still need to make a public accounting for how it’s handling the case of an officer whose own account of his actions appears to differ so wildly from what the video shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Post updated to include details of BART’s handling of Sheehan case to date. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"sheehancase\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/263808561/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_16607\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Those funds will come from a variety of sources: federal transportation funding dispensed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, bridge tolls, California high-speed rail bond proceeds (BART qualifies, because it's expected to tie into any future bullet-train network the state builds), and money from the state's cap-and-trade program, set up to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even with all those funds promised -- \u003cem>promised\u003c/em>, not delivered -- BART would still have to find about $500 million to pay for the new rail cars. It faces similar challenges lining up money for its maintenance facility and for replacing its train control system, the latter being a project that would allow more trains to run on the system simultaneously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So back to the \"who will pay?\" question.
