Police Remove Trash From Side of the Road As Bystanders Watch

I'm not sure what disgusts me more about this story.  Seems some 27 year old man thought it was necessary to beat, kick and stomp a 1 - 2 year old child along the side of the road in Turlock, California. 

Now what I don't understand is two to three cars stopped and supposedly tried to stop the man, but he just punched them and continued on stomping the child. 

Finally, the police arrived by helicopter, came upon the man and tried to get him to stop.  When the man wouldn't stop, the police shot and killed him.  Good job by the police.

The sad thing, is the child also died from his injuries.  I'm sorry, but you mean no one had a tire iron in their car?  I would have smacked his ass with a tire iron and taken him out like last night's trash. 

I understand the elderly couple not getting physical, but something is strange here.  Was this man so menacing that these people couldn't have gang tackled him to the ground or did they have a tiny voice in the back of their head saying, "You'll get sued?"   I would like to know more about the people who stopped and "tried" to help.  My god, it was a child being beaten to death, why would they just stand there on a country road and not be a little more aggressive?
