There have been four murders or killings at DART stations since November 2011. That's four dead humans if your counting.  Make all the excuses you want.  Point to other dangerous aspects of life in America.  It does not override the fact that many people in Texas believe traveling on public transit is dangerous.  And they won't do it. "On Tuesday an assailant staged a running shootout with a DART Officer at DART's Arapaho Center Station in Richardson, which is the first suburb northeast of Dallas.  The assailant and a bystander were killed, and two other people, including a police officer, were wounded.    Last month, Dominique Wilson, 20, was shot to death after he traded insults with another man at downtown Dallas’ Pearl Street Station. In December, an armed man with a lengthy criminal history was shot and killed aboard an  Amtrak train at Union Station in a confrontation with Dallas police. A bystander was shot and wounded. In November, teenage robbers fatally attacked 19-year-old Octavius Lanier at a Fair Park-area station and threw him into the side of a moving train. DART had said after those incidents that it was re-examining security measures by its 300-officer force." Typical! There is nothing like a few killings, at least in Texas, to get the coppers attention.  But until the bodies begin to stack up, forget the warnings, which is pretty much the modus operand-a here,  preventive measures are few and far between. Its not the fault of the police.  They do the best they can.  But thanks to politics and management ineptness, securing funding for adequate law enforcement is usually a day late and a dollar short.
