Base on the details as we know them:I would disagree. The girl running into the street, causing the motorcycle driver to utilize extreme avoidance measures to avoid running her over, is what caused this accident. The father attacking the motor cycle driver, despite being advised he was a police officer, exacerbated the situation. The cousin kicking the driver further escalated an extremely scary situation. After suffering broken bones from the fall and being punched in the face, as well as being kicked while on the ground, it was likely a reasonable reaction to pull his firearm and fire in self defence, again after advising that he was a police officer and observing no reduction in aggression.Dad and cousin made a bad situation immeasurably worse which lead to the Dad's death.Terrible all around.
