Just an FYI: Kevin Dave, who hit and killed Jaahnavi Kandula, still has his job and faced no disciplinary action for going 74 mph in a 25 mph zone. He was fired from his job with the Tempe police where he was drunk driving and ran from the police.

Wikipedia about this sourceIt’s an awful gallows humor joke and certainly a fireable offence in just about every workplace no matter the context. It’s certainly not worth $20 mil.
It’s not gallows humour if you’re the executioner.
I’m not sure he was joking, though. That attitude is definitely not limited to him - there’s a pretty pervasive sentiment among cops and bootlickers that some people are worth more than others. Denver just announced they fired 3 cops for saying they were going to use migrant shelters as target practice. Yeah they were “joking” just like Auderer was “joking”, but it’s pretty clear that the underlying feeling isn’t really a joke to them.

It’s an awful gallows humor joke
It’s not gallows humour when you’re not the one on the gallows, and certainly not when you’re the fucking executioner, jfc.
I would agree if it wasn’t coming from a cop, the only person legally empowered to murder you and get away with it.
It’s different coming from someone who has the authority to act on that “your life is of low value” statement.
Exactly, fucking pigs should be held to higher standards.
I remember this. Fuck this guy. Dark humor has nothing to do with it. This was disregard for the value of another human being.
When they tell you who they are, listen!
Imagine being this piece of shit and your union still does this for you?
The police “unions” have never been on the right side of history…
The only unions I won’t stand in solidarity with.
The police “union” is a gang, not a union.
