We are deeply disappointed that these recently hired Troopers displayed such poor judgment and lacked empathy for this family’s tragedy,” said the superintendent of the Rhode Island State Police.

Two Rhode Island State Police troopers who displayed poor judgment and a "lack of empathy" for the family of a man who was struck and killed on Interstate 95 last year have been fired, Colonel Darnell S. Weaver said Thursday morning.

Rhode Island State Police said they have terminated two troopers for violating rules, regulation and policies after they shared a video of a death on Snapchat.
