Can I say it? The Darwin Award for today is given posthumously to the idiot using a toy gun and not profiling correctly his given target.

How about, “that it was JUST a fake gun, he shouldn’t have died because the gun was fake”.

Cops have too great of an advantage over criminals. If only we armed them with toy guns too, this wouldn’t have happened. Oh, </sarc>.

Do I have to say it? Never take a toy gun to a real gun fight.

Some years back a Baltimore cop killed a guy who started a gunfight with him in an underground parking garage using a .50 Desert Eagle.
I’m sure it was a really LOUD gunfight while it lasted.

A Darwin event doesn’t necessarily need to be fatal — All that’s required is for one’s genes to be irrevocably removed from humanity’s gene pool.
