my point exactly as it happens no law will stop it ever happening and even this conviction wont bring the girl back
if you want your kids to stand a better chance teaching them that its always dangerous will benefit them far more than prosecuting the offender after the fact
but some seem fine with them being knocked over as long as there is some one to put away

But in this case the officer in question was clearly in the wrong, for that he will pay a heavy price loss of job, standing in the community, a prison sentence and worst of all living the rest of his life with the knowledge his taken the life of a young girl.
Of course as harsh as the above is it palls into insignificance when you consider the price the girls family will pay till the end of their days.
