Well, here's the thing: how many stories have you heard about cops shooting people, usually a kid, who has a toy gun? In a situation like this, guy in a Walmart has a gun, not shooting anyone, not threatening anyone, just walking around looking at shit on the shelves, a reasonable person would have to consider that it may very well be a toy, especially considering that they sell toy guns / bb guns in Walmart, and curb his enthusiasm accordingly. These cops were ****ing morons.
