From CNN

San Francisco, California (CNN) — Officials have agreed to pay $1.5 million to the daughter of a man fatally shot in the back by a transit police officer on New Year’s Day 2009 in Oakland, California.

A bystander’s cell-phone video of the shooting on a transit platform was widely circulated on the Internet and on news shows.

The Bay Area Rapid Transit train system late Wednesday announced the settlement over the killing of Oscar Grant, 22.

“It’s been a little over a year since we experienced the tragic death of Oscar Grant,” BART Board President James Fang said. “No matter what anyone’s opinion of the case may be, the sad fact remains this incident has left Tatiana without a father. The $1.5 million settlement will provide financial support for her.” Grant’s daughter, Tatiana, is 5.

    I’M GLAD BART HAD TO PAY SOMETHING BUT 1.5 MIL WILL NEVER REPLACE THAT CHILD’S FATHER….

    I hope that’s not in lieu of a guilty verdict? I know one doesn’t really have anything to do with the other. 1.5 seems pretty low. After taxes and lawyers fees, those children and family will probably end up with 300k. Should have gotten a better lawyer to work a better deal!

    1.5 million does not equal a father’s presence in a kid’s life. Go ask the 75% black/brown children from single-mother homes.

    In my legal business I’ve seen and heard lots of sad things. I love my job but sometimes it’s depressing to see what’s around us even if it pays damn good.

    “A mere pittance to his precious child.” What a pity. And as it is, far too many of our black children lack males (guidance) in their lives.

    The officer involved should have been given life. Period.

    I hate to be rude or sound angry…. wait…. NO I DO NOT… I AM PISSED OFF.
    What in the HELL is money going to do for his child who is now going to miss her father for the rest of her life.

    This is so sad, and i simply cannot believe that they are throwing this amount of money around as if the money will bring closer for his family.

    Send the officer to jail for the rest of his life.

    A life for a life… and you know what i mean.

    If you take the life of an innocent person… you should have to give your life.
