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?
a little justice
just a little
As a treat
Every single one of the cops involved should have been put in jail, and their certifications permanently revoked. A law Colorado finally has, but is rarely used. Especially the Deputy that remotely authorized the use of force watching remotely on their bodycams.
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.
I hear that all the time about cops, child molesters, etc., but they just put them in a separate unit with others of their kind, away from the general population. He’ll be fine, and he’ll be out in less than two years, with good behavior. He’ll probably miss only one Christmas with his family.
Then ICE will hire him.

If you don’t want people driving who aren’t in a mental state where they should be driving, then you need good viable alternatives to driving. Otherwise people will continue to suck it up and drive when they are tired, sick, stressed, had a single beer, etc.
