"While taking him into custody"

Sounds like they did uphold it.

Honestly, trying to comfort your distraught friend who just did a terrible thing instead of what, cracking him over the skull? Kicking him in nuts, in front of the kid who just saw him kill his mom? That would make things better? Of all the things to get offended over. We don't need to join the leftists in being offended over everything. The man was arrested, and will be spending a very long time in prison.

...instead of what, cracking him over the skull?

You mean the kind of treatment a "civilian" would get?

Comforting the guy who did the terrible thing rather then trying to comfort the son or the family of the victim is not only OK but admirable in your book?

PLEASE tell me I am reading your statement wrong.

How about instead of tackling your friend to *prevent* the horrific crime?

How about inserting yourself between the intended victim and your “friend”?

The murderer did more than take his wife’s life-—he has psychologically scarred his nine children. They will have to wrestle with the fact that Daddy murdered Mommy before witnesses-—and received hugs-—while Mommy bled to death-—for the rest of their lives.
