Someone pulls one of the above on you, are you going to take the time to find out it's a pellet gun before they shoot..?

Here’s the thing:
We can offer our sympathy to the family on the loss of their loved one.
But…
1) What was a 13 year old doing on the street at that time of night?
2) Why did he have a weapon of any kind on him, lethal or otherwise?
3) Why did he not cooperate with the officers?
4) Where was this kid’s father?
We live in a nation in which police have a monopoly on violence. Under broad circumstances they are authorized to kill you. Don’t (bleep) around with them. As one attorney said quite wisely “do not talk to the police” while another said “you can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride”.
I’m upset at the idiot kid and his awful parents.
And their kids’ idiocy is going to put these officers through the ringer now.
pellet or airsoft?
For the cops you mean?
That first one shows the end of the barrel, which looks bigger than 50 cal!
Aimed at police, yeah, they are going to go ballistic.
FAFO

I recall a .22 in my face (ex) years ago. Looked like a 12 gage at that moment.
Police stopped them because they matched some armed robbery suspects. When the police tried to search them then this boy ran and then pulled out the gun and pointed it at the police.
The boy got what was coming to him. sometimes Stupid does hurt. The same kid was mostly likely an armed robber to boot.
🤔 Hmmmm point a pellet gun that is a perfect replica of a real semi automatic pistol at police and people are shocked and outraged that police respond exactly as they would if it was a real gun and a criminal doesn’t follow their commands. Now these police officers have to carry the guilt and pain of killing a child.
Pellet guns can kill. Some of them produce the energy of a .22.
Another gaslighting headline.
Old saying.....”Looks real enough to get you killed.”
Get ready, the summer riots in the name of saint Nyah Mway are about to commence.
Those cops should be gone at 3am. Every cop needs an escape plan these days. And you get a 48 hour window normally.
