Houston Tipping, who was 32 at the time and an <keyword id="11931728" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="lapd" source="Orion">LAPD</keyword> officer of about five years, was participating in a training exercise on May 26, during which his colleagues beat and left him a quadriplegic, Shirley Huffman, the mother of Tipping alleged in the claim. Three days later, Tipping was taken off life support after having trouble breathing on his own."He was supposed to be in training, but he was brutally injured instead," Bradley Gage, the lawyer representing Huffman, said in a statement provided to Insider. "He went from being a healthy young man loving his job, protecting and serving all of us, and became a quadriplegic who could not even [breathe] on his own."Gage said that Tipping was the victim of "intentional acts" in the training."Specifically, Officer Tipping was the victim of intentional acts during a 'training exercise' to simulate a mob," according to the claim. "The funeral took place on June 22, 2022, and was attended by Mayor Eric Garcetti and others. Chief Moore stated that Officer Tipping impressed his peers with a 'willingness to go the extra mile to make the world a better place.'""Yet, that wasn't enough to avoid other officers paralyzing him and eventually killing him in violation of law, and his civil rights," the claim continues.Gage told Insider in a phone call that Tipping suffered multiple head injuries, and that during the "mob" training he was supposed to be wearing a padded and armored "redman suit," meant to protect all areas of the body — including the head."There was an injury to the left side of the head, specifically at the left parietal scalp and that had a laceration which required staples or sutures," Gage said. "Then also on the right side of the scalp, near the ear, there was a scab from a cut with skin pulled out, and that was between the size of between a nickel and a quarter."The claim filed by Tipping's mother via the family's lawyer accuses the LAPD of wrongful death, assault and battery, and violating her son's civil rights. The city has 45 days to accept or reject the claim, and after that point, a <keyword id="11921506" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="lawsuit" source="Orion">lawsuit</keyword> can be filed.

On Wednesday, he was identified as Cmdr. Brian Bourgeois, a 43-year-old SEAL with more than two decades in the Navy who commanded his SEAL Team.The sea service revealed that Bourgeois, who received his commission in 2001 from the United States Naval Academy, died at Norfolk Sentara General Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia on Tuesday from injuries sustained during training three days earlier at Virginia Beach, Virginia.<div type="image" title="Cmdr. Brian Bourgeois" height="813" width="616" msid="88173910" hostid="261"></div>Naval Special Warfare Command said in a statement that "the details of the tragic accident are currently under investigation and findings will be made available at the appropriate time."

"Brian was one of our very best leaders, who possessed all the attributes that make our force effective," Rear Adm. H.W. Howard III, who leads Naval Special Warfare Command, said."We will miss his charismatic leadership and faithful stewardship of our standard," he added. " His legacy carries on in teammates he served with, led, and mentored."SEAL Team 8's area of responsibility, <a href="https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2021/12/07/seal-dies-in-training-accident/">according to Navy Times</a>, is primarily the Caribbean, Africa and the Mediterranean."We are working with SEAL Team 8 to provide every form of support we possibly can to Brian's family and teammates," Capt. Donald G. Wetherbee, commodore for Naval Special Warfare Group 2, said in a statement."An incident like this weighs heavily on us all," he added. "Brian was as tough as they come, an outstanding leader, and a committed father, husband and friend. This is a great loss to everyone who knew him. He will be greatly missed."

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A CCTV image of a toddler on train tracks has been released by Network Rail to raise awareness.</li><li>433 serious incidents on train tracks in Wales have occurred since the start of the pandemic.</li><li>They say hashtags like #railwayphotography and #railwayshoot have been used 1 million times.</li></ul>A CCTV image of a toddler being placed on train tracks in Gwynned, North Wales has been released by authorities to raise awareness of "extremely dangerous" behavior around train tracks for social media posts. Network Rail, which owns most of Britain's railway infrastructure, released images that show groups of people taking selfies at level crossings and even lying down on train tracks in order to take part in what they describe as a growing "railway photography" social media trend. According to Network Rail, this trend involves taking a selfie or video on train tracks or on a level crossing before the train arrives. They estimate that hashtags like #railphotography and #railwayshoot have been used by one million users cumulatively across <keyword id="819905" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Instagram">Instagram</keyword>, <keyword id="6762469" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="TikTok">TikTok</keyword>, and <keyword id="6358096" type="DEFINITION" weightage="60" keywordseo="snapchat">Snapchat</keyword>.In Wales alone, Network Rail reported that there have been 433 serious incidents since the start of the pandemic, which they say occurred as a result of people trying to create social media content on train tracks.In a <a href="https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/rail-partnership-warns-against-dangers-of-level-crossing-misuse-following-shocking-railway-selfie-craze">statement </a>released by Network Rail, Jody Donnelly, train driver at Transport for Wales said, "Over the years, myself and many of my colleagues ― from within station, driver and conductor roles ― have had to deal with hundreds of frightening and sometimes tragic occurrences at level crossings."<div type="image" title="A group of people lying down and crouching by a train track to take photos." height="1121" width="1494" msid="84407251" hostid="261"></div>He added, "People seem to think that the worst won't happen to them ― but if you're caught short at a level crossing, it simply isn't true. Unlike cars, trains can take hundreds of meters to stop when traveling at top-speed, meaning that a decision to nip across the tracks can be fatal."Following the spate of railway incidents in Wales, Network Rail, Transport Wales, and British Transport Police have teamed up to launch a safety campaign called At What Cost. Designed to raise awareness of the consequences of taking risks on train tracks, the campaign includes targeted advertising on TikTok, Instagram, and Spotify as well as a <a href="https://rockadove.wetransfer.com/downloads/a3037fd527fa37c6a8bd55de6d50aafb20210701114210/78ce55">short film</a>. "I have no doubt that our campaign will help to save lives this summer ― and with this, I hope it will allow myself and my team to rest a little easier," Donnellayadded. "Knowing that despite rising social media trends, our customers are educated on the very real dangers of level crossings." Ronnie Gallagher, Route Level Crossing Manager at Network Rail said in a <a href="https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/rail-partnership-warns-against-dangers-of-level-crossing-misuse-following-shocking-railway-selfie-craze">statement,</a> "Our campaign has been designed to complement our priorities of risk management, education, and enforcement ― all while encouraging people in Wales to consider the true cost of taking a risk at a level crossing."Richard Powell, Inspector at British Transport Police told Network Rail, said, "Messing around on level crossings ― including lingering to take photos ― is illegal and extremely dangerous. You could be taken to court and face a £1,000 fine."Trains approach almost silently, so if you're distracted, you won't notice until it's too late. Take care around level crossings. No photograph is worth the risk to you or the consequences for your family and any bystanders."<a href="https://www.insider.com/culture">To read more stories like this, check out Insider's digital culture coverage here.</a>
