“Deberry said he wants to prevent incidents like one last year in which a 12-year-old boy was killed in West Memphis, Ark. DeAunta Farrow was shot by a police officer who said he thought the boy was carrying a gun and that the youngster refused to obey orders to halt. Investigators later said DeAunta had a toy gun.”
Almost happened to my kid. There at least needs to be an age limit.
I can believe it. Back when I was doing security work, some joker asked me what I would do if he pulled a gun, then he reached into his jacket where he had a water pistol in the pocket. The moron then complained to the cops about me drawing my sidearm, and they none-too-politely informed him that he was lucky to be alive.
Did you speak with your child about what almost happened?
“There at least needs to be an age limit.”
There is an age limit, its called the parent telling the kid not to play with things like that. I don’t mean to point fingers but we don’t need any more govt involvement in this.
