I wasn't there and I don't care much for the explanations that anyone gives for the 'spur of the moment' decisions that are made.
Think about it... when you try and rationalise a decision that was made without thinking (in the case of the kid) or make a decision urgently (in the case of the cops); ANY explanation given for those actions will be picked to pieces and a whole web page will be dedicated to the idea of "You shold have done" or "They should have done that" or better yet "I would have done this or that".
I'd much rather comment on the bigger picture.
ICE, Amphetamines, Generation Y, bullshit parents that bury their heads in the sand and are oblivious to their children, what they do and the company they keep.
Attitudes of kids that think they can do anything (kinda like us when we were growning up - only worse)
All this means that we will start to see many more children / young adults / GenY stressing out and committing suicide. The fact a cop pulled the trigger has bugger all to do with the root cause of the problem.
I agree with DJPete, it's time to stop and look at the beautiful views around us. And if you have a flat tyre ask DJPete to send you more photos.
