RI state troopers fired after posting video of man's death

The Rhode Island State Police have fired two troopers who posted a video on social media of 21-year-old Alex Montesino getting hit and killed by a car on I-95 in October.

 

In the video obtained by 12 News, the troopers can be heard laughing in the background. One of the troopers recorded the short clip on a cell phone and posted it on Snapchat.

 

Montesino’s uncle, Frank Vidal, told 12 News his nephew’s twin sister stumbled upon the video the day before her brother’s funeral.
