An example of this is some young hoodlum goes out and shoots someone and shoots at the police that return fire and kills him. Then we hear from the parents that failed him. They tell us he was really a wonderful person and was turning him self around. They tell us he was getting his GED and was going to to to college to be a brain surgeon, so the police should never have shot him.

well the guy PROBABLY was a bike messenger with a good mind who had a few issues with authorities and was usually strapped because of peer pressure and even tho he was on his 3x GED course he was going to make it this time and since brain surgery was lucrative and because he couldn't run 4.2 or jump out of the gym medicine was his only option out of the projects plus his absent father had probably just paroled and had encouraged him to give up bike messaging because it was a gateway to crime and drugs which all goes to show that bike messengers are always on the brink of self destruction and the cops are always ready to assist
