My question would be more geared toward policy. Why would they not have two officers there? This officer, obviously could have just put the boy in cuffs and waited for another officer or two to show up.
for budget reasons i can understand why they cant always have two officers together, but to have someone whom you think is drunk, someone that you arent watching, handcuffed in the back of a boat as you speed off at 47mph on a lake, is the peak of negligence.

there HAS to be someone else in the boat watching the kid in a situation like that.

the definition of "manslaughter"...

"the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder."

if his actions dont fit that, then its not a real thing, its not a real crime, its meaningless.

IF you were going to stretch it that, negligent homicide seems more reasonable.
