I don’t buy the fight or flight rationale. Neither I nor my husband would respond in such a way in an accident. I doubt seriously that any of my neighbors or people living in my town would act that way.
This father should have been focused on the needs of his child, not on delivering a beat down to the motorcycle rider.
The fact that his first response was violent says a lot about the culture of violence that permeates urban areas and the decay of civil society.

That is exactly right. :)
The fact that the police officer’s response was “take it easy, I’m a police officer” after *striking a four year old*, tells us a lot about the government employee involved.
yup.
