re: #547 danarchy

if you think the cop at any point made a conscious decision to kill a kid for jaywalking you are as deluded as people who think Michael Brown was some sort of raving violent lunatic.

The cop should be well-trained enough and skilled enough not to murder a kid when his stated intention was to move him to the sidewalk. No amount of adrenaline would cause a skilled cop to get into an altercation over jaywalking.

He needed to make a conscious decision NOT to kill the kid, apparently. A skilled cop wouldn’t have gotten to that point.
