I can see both points of views in this circumstance......in a perfect world this wouldn't have happened!
....Let's just be thankful the boy didn't get shot!!!
...And,yes.....after finding out about the young man; I think the officer should have released him!! And,when he got home that night....got down on his knees and thanked whatever "higher power",he believes in,that he didn't kill this young man!!!

Well....they say there's "one",in every bunch!!
