In February, jurors found Andrew Buen guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the 2022 death of Christian Glass. Prosecutors alleged that Buen needlessly escalated a standoff with Glass, who showed signs of a mental health crisis and refused orders to get out of his SUV near Silver Plume, a small, former mining town along Interstate 70 in the Rocky Mountains west of Denver.
His parents and the agencies involved reached a $19 million settlement that also made changes to how officers are trained to respond to people in mental health crises.
3 years. What the fuck.
At the same time going to prison as a cop is usually a life sentence. You dont live long.
I see this posted a lot. Is this actually true?
I doubt it. They probably just hang with the neo Nazis.
I dunno. Nobody else factchecks. Why should I?
Y’all have no sense of humor.
Then why say it?
Precisely because others don’t.

What’s going on here, has the US been turned on its head? The US isn’t a place where justice exists.
I’m shocked the state decided to prosecute. But 3 years is low.
I mean this happens all the time in black and other minority communities, has even been on the news several times over the last few years, and literally nothing happens. I guess he just pissed off the wrong white family with enough resources or pull to do something about it. It’s terrible what happened to this guy but it’s been equally tragic every time it happened to a non-white person, and it’s unfortunate that this gets so more coverage
I’ve never seen data on it, but from what I’ve heard it’s unlikely that he would survive for more than 1yr regardless of sentence duration.
Pardon?
