The deputy probably had a heart-attack from eating too many doughnuts.

This doesn't help you make your point at all.

That said, it doesn't seem reasonable to charge the kid with murder. And you don't have to be a cop-basher to think that.

Something like that happened in Costa Mesa, CA.
Two men were fighting in front of a movie theatre.
One of the men stepped back and onto a woman.
She was treated for her injury and that man was arrested for assault.
He was later charged with manslaughter.
She died of a heart attack caused by a blood clot from her injury.

I am a cop basher only when I see evidence that double-standards are obvious. If this were to happen to joe citizen, it would have been written off as an unfortunate accident, which is exactly what this is. One rule applies to all.

I see all too often citizens face stupid charges in order for a prosecutor to make a name for himself in order to run in some future election. That way he can say he was 'tough on crime'. Make no mistake, the authorities can dream up any bogus infraction to charge you with, and haul your ass away. To live under the guise of 'fairness of the law' is an illusion. Law enforcement is about money now days, plain and simple.
