Guns
It's not all that hard for an alert person to tell them apart, not to mention that the manner of holding the object should be a clue to the threat level.

[ So what? It’s not illegal to hold a gun in the United States of America, especially on your own property. Even if he had been holding a gun, that would be no excuse for killing him. ]
Shut up slave, learn to love the boot on your throat or else we will audit and harass you!!!
When police start using Millitary terms like “Boots on the ground” we are officially in a Police Millitary State....
What’s the “teen facing 8 years over Facebook comment” about?
As for this incident, cops are out of control. The bottom line is do what you’re told or get shot. In this case, the kid didn’t have a chance to do what he was told. How long has this woman been a cop?
They’ll sue the city but no amount of money will ease this family’s pain.
Something is wrong with cop training when they go around killing innocent people...and dogs.
why did they have to point out that the cop was a woman?....if this was a man, it would not have been mentioned, and male cops are always shooting people around here....but they had to bring the gender thingy in....

I hope so, but it won't bring back their son.
If the cops go to a construction site, I expect a massacare, lots of power drills and other tools that could be mistaken for guns and weapons...
Great point! He asked who was at the door and got no response. What would any of us gun owners have done with our real guns? If someone rings my door bell and I don’t know who them, I will have a gun in my hand when I open the door. If I open it at all.
I think so, too. I would also bet dollars to donuts that she employed poor trigger discipline, already had her finger on the trigger, was startled by the boy, flinched and shot him.

Indeed there has. Some serious issues with our police forces.
Accidently hell! Anytime you point a gun at someone and pull the trigger it is an on purpose.
Next she will say she is sorry and then she can be promoted to division captain or something like that.
I believe that because of political correctness many people who should not be police are police. I met a highway patrol “resourse officer.” Totally incompenant and probably given that job because of her obvious unsuitability. But, there she was with the entire bat belt of goodies.
A friend is fond of saying, “There’s no problem that can’t be made worse by involving the police.”
Also, why are so many public employees armed? Why is the USPS buying ammo? Why does the IRS have armed SWAT agents? They can’t use a better trained specialized police unit? Public employees have become too militarized.
