A former NYPD sergeant is facing the consequences of his actions after being sentenced to jail time for his role in a fatal incident involving a thrown cooler. The shocking event, which occurred in 2018, has been described by police officials as one of the "darkest days" in the department's history. The cooler was allegedly thrown from a Brooklyn building, striking and killing a 4-year-old boy who was walking with his mother. The sergeant, who was involved in the incident, is now set to begin serving a prison sentence, bringing an end to a highly publicized case that has raised questions about police accountability and the use of force.
