No, this might have hurt Emmerson's feelings, and would have thus been an abuse of the LEO's authority. I think the correct response would have been, "I'm sorry the stress of this situation caused you to spill the sippy cup, ma'am. It's our fault completely. Please forgive us; we'll try harder next time."
