Even though that cyclist wasn't killed the officer was just following the example of Janet Reno, who had 76 people killed in order to save the children, who were among the 76. Not only that, she saved Elian Gonzalez from a life of freedom by returning him to the tropical paradise of Cuba. He just wasn't as efficient as she was. That's why she was Attorney General and he's just a cop.
Sad but true.
