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.

I do remember an incident a few years ago where a cop shot an actor at a costume party who had a rubber gun. Last edited by Mennonite; 09-25-2014 at 11:41 AM.. |

This report is from 1990. (Pages 30 and 31) They looked at a 5 year period and found about 5 incidents per month where police used force as a result of mistaking a toy gun for a real gun. |

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.

In addition the guy calling in telling the cops he has a rifle waving it at people puts them on high alert. I still think that guy should be charged with something, and not a light something. He deserves jail time.

He should be arrested for lying to the dispatcher. His statements about the guy loading the rifle and pointing it at kids did nothing but raise the officer's anxiety.

I'm sure the fact that the guy had something resembling an assault rifle did quite a wonder on the officers anxiety.
