Even if we believe the cops story... as I understand it... the kid was walking in the middle of the street, and the cop told him to get on the sidewalk. And the kid (all 18 year olds are kids to me even though they are legally an adult) .... ignored (dis respected the cop) at some level and said something to the effect of "f you... yeah whatever, we're going home." And that turned into a contact that got the guy killed.

I slammed a cops door one time when I got out of the car after he wrote me a completley bogus end of the month ticket. He jumped out of the car and was in my face immediately, and ready to kick my butt.... I told him it wasn't his car, and that I owned part of that car because my tax dollars bought it and I could slam the door if I damn well pleased. Fortunately... there were enough people watching that he backed down. I think this is the mentality we see way to often.
