And when the cop shouts 'put down the gun' twice it is probably a wise thing to put down the damn gun.
His hood was not up — it was down — so there was no excuse to see that it was a kid.
You need to get your facts straight.
The kid could have put the gun down and then explained later that it wasn’t real. And, he’d probably still be a live. You know... bottom line .... toy gun today.... real gun in a few years. It is what it is.
