Bodycam footage: SPD officer heard laughing about woman being hit, killed by cop car

The officer was traveling at 74 miles per hour in a 25 mph zone while responding to an emergency call when the cruiser struck the woman.

I never want to hear another cop complain about how the “politicians are making us look bad”. You did this to yourselves.

[SigSweetNSauer]

Sickening and a disgrace to law enforcement.

[dianejohnson]

That man is heartless. Just the type to migrate to a position with authority. My heart breaks for the family of that young lady being so disrespected and laughed at and devalued like that. He is deplorable and I hope his “value” is reevaluated by his Superiors.

[AxeltheGSD]

Absolutely disgusting. He needs to be dismissed from the force IMMEDIATELY. 😡

[Alyssiusyouk]

“She was 26, she had limited value.” What callousness, it’s disgraceful as a human.

[brucewayne]

This shows exactly how they look at civilians. When he said that "she was only 26 and had limited value" my blood started to boil and it broke my heart

[collinemery]

26 with “little value”?? Are you kidding me???? She had her whole life ahead of her. He needs to be fired

[footersfunnyfarm]

That narcissistic (POS) cop needs a reality check ... He needs to be made an example‐of!

[MrBrickcity]

Words can’t express how completely unsurprised I was to hear that guy is a VP in the police union. When people show you who they are, believe them.

[joeatalig]

How can someone laugh at someone who died from an accident and made statement that the person who died is of no value. She is a human being for christ sakes.

[joer]

This really turned my stomach. Prayers for the family of this young girl who tragically lost her life.

[immanuelsilombwana]

"she had limited value"!! He can go to HELL!!!🤬🤬

[guyjin]

Disgusting. Sadly, even a psychopath like this won't be fired precisely because of the police union.

[shama]

The police officer needs to be fired, disregard for human life. He has a killer mentality. Wickedness lays in his heart

[Doug.the.welder-hjcq]

Wow, wonder how he would feel if that was his wife, daughter or a monster. RIP to that poor woman condolences to the family.

[AllThingsKristiSampson]

I AM HEART BROKE FOR THIS FAMILY!! SENDING MY PRAYERS AND LOVE!! SEATTLE IS HERE FOR YOUR FAMILY!!!

[OntoBunny]

The fact that he felt comfortable laughing and joking with other cops about this sends a clear message that this is the norm in police culture. He just forgot to turn off the body cam.

[ZA-covj]

Absolutely disgraceful and shameful. He should be fired. These cops are sociopaths.

[RegineBryce]

Wow! This is awful. This is why it is so hard to trust our lives in the hands of these people. 🙏 prayers for the family

[jj-vjfv]

so what if she’s “just a normal person” she had an entire life, childhood, family, things she loved and things she didn’t. her life was important to so many people
