Out of fair consideration to the officer, if he is quoting the law and a bereaved victims family is insisting on the death penalty, his frustration could be justified.

For example:

If there was a robbery or purse snatching, and the victim were to die of a heart-attack while the…

Don't blame the kid for the media. He just wants to play golf.

Taka,

You need to read some archived news from AP.

He was a stanch supporter of Obama, and Vice Versa. They were both integral to each others State Campaingns in the past. Obama has some sweetheart quotes about what an "upstanding citizen" he is.
