What’s new with your brother’s friend, shot in the head, you may ask?
The coverage in the Post continues, one article per day:
Feb 28: There’s a policy debate
Mar 1: People who were there dispute the officer’s account
Mar 2: The cop who shot my brother’s friend has a lawyer.
Even the DC chief of police has weighed in: “We put the emphasis on better training. Striking at a moving vehicle doesn’t do you any good. If you think you had a problem before, try adding a corpse behind the wheel,” D.C. Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey said last night. “We feel better tactics, better approaches . . . is the way to go.”
The funeral is on Saturday. There’s not going to be a dry eye in the house. My brother has been asked to perform a guitar piece at the funeral, to sing in the mens chorale at the memorial service (they’re doing the Biebel Ave Maria), and the three surviving members of the band that Aaron played in will try to put together a song or two without him. It’s going to be one hella’ rough Saturday. He’s also been contacted by the Post reporter who is apparently doing a piece on Aaron’s life.
What else to say? I tried to get down to Baltimore to see him today, but failed due to the unexpected blizzard. More whining on that later, most likely.
