Fort Wayne police sergeant fined $35.50 for fatally striking pedestrian in crosswalk
What the actual fuck? He has a history of crashing his police cruiser - why the fuck isn't he on desk duty? I hope the family sues for wrongful death. I wish they could make him pay, rather than the taxpayers, but god forbid a cop should face the consequences of their actions.

Vehicular manslaughter has a nicer ring to it
The person Sgt. Joshua Hartup killed was a lawyer. I wonder if the lawyer had pissed off the police previously.
That suspicion occurred to me, too — was Henry Najdeski a tenacious criminal defense attorney? But nah, he worked in real estate.
Same place they shot out a kids eye when he was at a peaceful protest and they started tear-gassing everyone.
How does this happen?
In my mind, every cop who causes a death should permanently lose their job! I know that sounds extreme, and it is, but so is killing someone!
The Fort Wayne PD has a storied history of being complete pieces of shit with no consequences.
because american (and other) police forces are systematically corrupt
Wow. A life gone and the cost of that life was $40.
That's seems super cheap for a random murder even by USA standards ...
... tho it might actually be a record since he was actually fined (and not the country/taxpayers).
Does that mean it would only cost someone 35.50 to run a cop over? Everyone's equal before the law right?
