"My office’s determination that Deputy Montesi did not commit any crime in connection with this matter does not minimize the tragedy of Josiah Pinner’s death," Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren said in a statement. "Although the evidence establishes that Deputy Montesi was driving above the speed limit at the time of the accident, Florida law holds that speed alone is insufficient to establish vehicular homicide." [More]God forbid we charge an "Only One" with "willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons." And anybody see anything in this story about a breathalyzer test being administered?
No, pointing out what would happen if a citizen ran over a cop is not relevant due to the equivalent value of lives. Besides, the poor guy already got a five-day suspension and the sheriff's "heart pours out to this family." What more do these people want?

“My heart pours out to this family, but if this was any other citizen that would’ve been in the deputy’s shoes that night, in that car, the findings would’ve been the same,”
1) What is the # of the boiler plate form he took this quote from? It sounds like what they always say, verbatim.
2) Leave off the expressions of condolences. As long as it doesn't leave them covered with raw sewage they aren't worried about it, and in 2 weeks it will be forgotten except by the Pinners.
3) The tripe about a Peon being treated the same is not just false, it's SO false that expecting anyone to believe it is calling them too stupid to eat without help.
