Halanna: While I certainly sympathize with what you're saying, and do not sympathize with the suspect in any fashion (indeed feel disgusted by his character), I disagree with your claim that the police officer made 'the unsavory, but correct human reacion[sic]'. While it may certainly be a natural human response to the incident, one that many of the public might share, it is certainly not the correct one. The police are held accountable to the same laws we are. This does not reduce our gratitude for their service.
Unless you are making the 'distraction blow' argument, which is an entire separate animal. That really has to be dealt with subjectively, and as such I will not weigh in.
