Because nothing says “accident” like leaving a prisoner in the middle of a railroad crossing!

A light punishment would be termination and revoking their drivers license for not being able to see train tracks, or a train. Or able to hear.
A light punishment would be 10 years in prison for abusing their authority to put someone in harms way.
That's getting off pretty easy for a murder, I agree.
I assume a lawsuit will follow that will be severely punishing to the department and the officer ( hopefully the final figure has many zeros at the end)
You mean the taxpayers, right? Police departments generally don't pay out in lawsuits, that burden is shouldered largely by taxpayers.
Fuck lawsuits
