The second officer was not involved so I don't think the kid put up much of a struggle other than yelling and screaming. So yeah, even though there is no story to back it up, I'll grant you that it is vaguely possible that a careful, well intentioned cop happened to trip and fall while hugging the kid, landed on a kid's head and broke his skull open. Actually no. That's ridiculous. I need a much better story than that.
Sounds like you've got it all figured out Perry Mason. You're right about one thing. All you've got is a story.

I think I figured out how you chose your username though.

You hear that reaction from a lot of people, right?
