Exactly. How is a check supposed to replace a young man?
But you might want to compare the Strickland case in NC to the Culosi case in Fairfax, VA.
At least in North Carolina the sheriff fired the deputy, apologized to the family, agreed to outside policy review, and paid a monetary penalty. Hell, the D.A. even attempted to get a grand jury indictment against the deputy.
After the Fairfax SWAT officer shot and killed the unarmed Dr. Culosi the department would not only not speak to the family but their recommended solution was to suspend the officer for a couple of weeks! The D.A. would not seek even a misdemeanor charge against the officer. Apparently there is no such thing as negligent homicide or manslaughter in Virginia. Who knew?
Getting back to the first point, your readers might be interested in reading Mrs. Culosi's comments about the loss of her son on my recent blog entry.
Thanks for all you do, David. You're a great American.
