Putting your hands out to arrest a fall is an involuntary reflex. Killing someone for an involuntary reflex is completely unjustifiable. Threatening to do so demonstrates premeditation and intent. This murderer in a blue costume should hang. Anything less is a miscarriage of justice.

Agreed. To which I’d add: Killing someone for taking a normal action is also completely unjustifiable.
Take a look at this short video, if you can stand it. A cop stops a motorist and asks him for his driver’s licence. The driver tries to comply (a normal action) and gets shot for it.
Click on the upper corner of the red advertisement box in the video to get rid of it.

(And to any cop apologist out there: Yeah, I know this guy coulda shoulda asked for permission before moving. But that’s not what the average person would do when under stress. Cop asks you for your licence. The average guy would reach for his licence.)
