Utter Bullshit. He may not have caused the death, but he should be pulled up for a disciplinary offence at the very least.

If the man died of internal bleeding, it looks like he DID cause the death.

Just remember folks, you can be walking away from a cop with your hands in your pockets. the cop can MURDER you in public, on video, and get away with it... AFTER lying through the whole process.
