Don't buy the parent's story; remember too well one where the parents said what good kid their child was - only committed armed robberies to get stuff for his illegitimate child (he was a teen age gang banger, shot by a store owner in self defense). Everybody's child is a little angel.

Cops are unlikely to knock someone down then shoot him on the ground - even if they are brutes, there is too much liability. Cops know that, if a knifeman gets too close, they ARE going to get cut before they can shoot. No reason for 'em to take the risk. By not losing the knife on command, the kid chose poorly and the gene pool got a little chlorine.

BS - there are plenty of examples to prove otherwise.

Maybe you won't be so callous if someone in your family is cleaned out of society.
