Earlier story

[from occupied ga]

Don't expect any criminal prosecution of the officer for this one. After all, police are allowed to kill or maim anyone without any personal consequences ever. The taxpayers might get hit for a substantial settlement, but the cop who did it? Never.

"...the SUV trampled them."

This type of phrasing is "journalism?"

''It was a pure accident,'' one said. "I feel really sorry for the policeman.''

Gross negligent operation of a motor vehicle.

Manslaughter.

But he will not get a fair trial, because on the one hand he's a cop with "diplomatic immunity" before the judge, while on the other hand, if he can be hung in order to give satisfaction to foreign relations ... well, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

There, but for the Grace of God, go I.

What a sad comment on our time:

1) Foolish police officers incapable of doing their job, killing innocent civilians. This is clearly manslaughter.

2) A press so ignorant and consumed with political correctness that they write headlines to lead the impression that a type of vehicle killed the victim and not the negligence of the operator.

And they wonder why their circulation is down?

God help us all.

In April 1999, another city vehicle ran over a pregnant woman on the beach at nearly the identical spot.

The woman, Lupe Eyde-Tucker, survived and gave birth, despite suffering a crushed pelvis, broken ribs and head injuries after being hit by a city beach patrol officer driving a Ford Bronco.

That is truly astonishing.

Seems like a better alternative to SUV's on crowded beaches...

''It was a pure accident,'' one said. ``I feel really sorry for the policeman.''

I don't "feel sorry" for a criminal who committed vehicular manslaughter and who will get away with it.

The parents of two French sisters crushed by a police sports utility vehicle as they sunned in Miami Beach arrived in Miami from Paris late Sunday and rushed to the hospital to see their surviving daughter.

Damn those rampaging wild SUVs . . . damn them all to hell!
