In that case, the police were only doing their jobs, but I find your blind respect for the law un-nerving. Will you have said the same thing if those cops shot the father?

Law is supposed to be a formalized generalization of ethics rather than arbitrary, and this here looks to me like a victimless crime (crime as defined legally only). If there is indeed a law of this sort, it is the law that is at fault.
