Thank you for that correction. The articles I’m reading have far too many roles and not enough actors, if you will, to keep track of who is who saying what. I’m sure watching the video would help provide context, but I just can’t get myself to even look at it. It’s getting too hard to keep consuming videos of cops involved with turning someone’s lights off. With Jahhnavi, all I can think about is her parents and how I don’t want to be another face in the crowd who watched their daughter die and then heard it get written off by the kind of people who swore to protect her.
If you watch the video, you’ll realize that the officer is on the phone with a peer. He is having a private conversation that was unfortunately and unintentionally recorded by his body camera.
I believe the officer is trying to use dark humor to develop a sense of detachment from a horrific event. His statements are clearly delivered as sarcasm, not sincerity. He is saying outlandish things in an attempt to avoid becoming emotionally overwhelmed.

He is coping, not denigrating.
We get it, you like the taste of boots.
