Well, I just googled it, and that came up. But like I said, it just happened recently in California, and I had heard stories about it growing up. Certainly cops know about the existence of toy guns / BB guns, and they ought to realize that there is a significant chance that a guy just standing there holding a "gun" in Walmart, looking at stuff on the selves, as he was doing when they shot him, is in fact holding a toy or BB gun.
