3. The behavior of that cop was totally over the top, I hope the kid is okay and that there is

a HUGE lawsuit against the city and that cop.

5. This really pisses me off!

They were trying to help the injured Marine. Why would this POS throw a grenade at them! Because he wanted to and probably hoped he would more. Disgusting!
