Does smacking a cellphone out of a man's hand justify being killed? And nobody knows what led up to this altercation.

Thank you buckhaggard. As a paramedic I worked 2 cases where the patient fell over, or got knocked over in a parking lot, hit his head hard on the asphalt like this guy did. But my 2 patients got fractured skulls and died. It can happen.

Had this guy in the story died, boxer guy would have gotten hit with a massive civil suit, several million dollars at least. Tied up in court for 18 months and legal bills of a hundred grand at least. Every week, or every day for a year or two, back to the courthouse for another deposition, or another hearing.
