I’d convict the officer for manslaughter + reckless driving. Plus assault causing bodily harm on the cousin.

He could have easily killed two people here.

I don’t think the father’s reaction was unwarranted.

The cop needs to be more careful when he drives. Sliding out, and hitting and nearly killing an innocent 4 year old and then shooting an innocent father protecting his child?

I don’t see self defense warranted here when his actions nearly killed a little girl.

If he’s smart, he would’ve realized the better choice to be flipping over the handlebars, instead of sliding the bike causing it to go further. Everybody knows that metal slides on a road better than rubber does.

I learned the hard way what happens when you squeeze the front brake on a bike too hard when going fast.

How is it manslaughter when the girl ran out in traffic? Could you have missed her?

Exactly, it is incumbent on every motorist, regardless of vehicle, to be always aware when driving.

So no child is struck by anyone.

Beating on the cop was protecting the child?

How do you figure that?
