The officer was previously disciplined 4 times for other driving offenses, but killing someone - well - $35.50 oughta cover it.

I think the fact he was a cop doesn’t have much to do with it.
This country just really doesn’t seem to care if someones shitty, aggressive, dangerous driving kills someone (unless they are under the influence then throw the book at them!).
In America if you’re a civilian and you run over somebody by accident and kill them you can still be charged with negligent homicide and spend several years in prison for it.
Unfortunately those kinds of simple, logical rules for some reason don’t seem to apply to the cops that kill far more people on average than any other group in America.
Sure you could but it doesn’t seem to ever happen.
