<p>Amtrak recently landed on people&#8217;s &#8220;naughty list&#8221; over a situation that resulted in two Chicago-bound passengers getting ditched in Grand Junction, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/bffr-mark-curry-harassed-by-worker-in-colorado-hotel-where-he-stayed-sparks-outrage-wyndham-responds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colorado</a>.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Entire Situation Was Over A Pomeranian Having A Bowel Movement</h3>
<p>News of the incident came through TikTok after a user going by <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@bellskunk?_t=8YXI1TMI1Na&;_r=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@bellskunk</a> uploaded a series of troubling videos.</p>
<p>In the first TikTok, a pair of officers is seen speaking to two Black passengers, and the videographer says that the women are &#8220;being mistreated.&#8221;</p>
<p>After the officers tell the women that Amtrak has a right to kick them off for any reason, the man recording the interaction says the matter arose &#8220;because their little doggie had to take a poo poo,&#8221; which was cleaned up. He also says that the ordeal is related to racism as he continues to advocate for them.</p>

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

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Amtrak Employee Seemingly Stands By Decision To Boot The Women: &#8216;Sounds About Right&#8217;</h3>
<p>Finally, in a &#8220;part 4&#8221; upload, the user confronts two Amtrak employees after the ride came to a stop. The first man says he has &#8220;no comment&#8221; on the situation, while another employee suggested that the women deserved to get kicked off, as they allegedly didn&#8217;t follow protocol.</p>

However, many of these replies were hidden, which only prompted further criticism.</p>

<p>Additionally, Amtrak caught some heat in the comments beneath some recent <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amtrak/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> uploads. However, Amtrak has not acknowledged the ordeal in any pubic media statements.</p>
