Why are the two individuals who were entrusted wit...

Why are the two individuals who were entrusted with the lives of two ladies during a hurricane still employed? I understand they are on administrative leave WITH PAY but what about the grieving families? They are not getting paid to miss work to plan and attend funerals which should have been avoided. How do you justify the fact that the deputies went around barricades which were in place and, when their van became stuck and began to fill with water, climbed to the top of the van where they were rescued and these ladies were not? They were sworn to "Protect and Serve" the citizens but if this is an example of this I, and I'm sure many other citizens, would rather be left to our own resources. I truly do not understand how anyone could climb to the top of a vehicle, while listening to the screams and pleading of two innocent individuals, to save themselves. Thankfully, I realize that these two "officers" are not indicative of your entire force. Or at least I would hope not but can we be sure? Can we be assured that justice will be served? There are two sets of children who have been left motherless, parents who've buried their children, and that's something that should never happen, and siblings with nothing left except memories because you have COWARDS in your employ. The past cannot be changed at this point. But could we expect the questions these families have to be answered in a timely manner? Can we expect justice to be done for Nikki Green and Wendy Newton? The Horry County Sheriff's Department has the attention of the nation right now. Will it continue the direction it's going, or will it take measures to redeem itself? We're waiting.
