What are the details?
Did the kid ride through a stop sign for example?
What kind of call was the cop responding to?
What is the cop's record?
I know sometimes cops get really really carried away. I recall an incident in Toronto where a cop was engaging in a high speed chase in the city of a stolen minivan and killed a priest on a bike. The mini van was apparently worth 900 bucks. WTF the cop was thinking of is beyond my understanding. I'd be "take the fucking van". I've seen allot of these idiotic cop shows where the cops chase some idiot for having a burnt out tail light. Sometimes cops have a power complex that results in stupid things happening.
I'm sure the cop feels terrible (at least I hope so). Sometimes getting off the hook makes the situation worse for the guy who committed the crime.
