Snoopy: I'm sorry, but even if the bloke said anything, the reaction of the policeman (and this the law) is still liable to be charged and convicted of manslaughter. Even if the bloke had called him some very nasty names it does not matter, the charge under UK LAW is still manslaughter if and this is the only if in the matter... the forensics comes back and shows it was that shove that caused the man to die or not.

Even if it wasn't the cause, the police officer broke the law. PERIOD.

You can argue about this all you want, but I am going by the law as laid down by the courts and our government.

Argue with them if you want... but they will tell you the same.
