The linked article showed an actual AK47 held up next to the “replica” AIRSOFT gun. I think only an idiot would mistake the AIRSOFT gun for an AK47. An evil individual on the other hand could well decide on the spur of the moment to use the kid’s holding of the AIRSOFT gun as “rationale” for offing the kid.
The shooter cop and his lying partner and the despicable chief who tried to cover up the unlawful killing all need to be removed from the force. The two cops need to be prosecuted.

If I remember an earlier post on this killing, the article said that 1) the shooter was an arms instructor and 2) he walked up to the downed kid and shot him again a couple of times. I don’t know how anyone who teaches shooting could mistake a plastic gun for a real one. You are right these guys need to be prosecuted and sent to prison, but five says they won’t. Just despicable, and you know that the LEO’s are circling the wagons.
I think psychological testing of police forces should be used to detect the deficient of mental stability before it becomes a danger to the civilian population. It goes with my thinking that it is the nut behind the trigger that is the problem.
In my own experience, I was eighteen inches away from one, and couldn’t tell the difference until I picked up. Looked just like a H and K UPS 45 and my suspect got his sorry ass shot over it too.
From reading their posts, My Friend, the evidence shows that there are those on this forum that will defend the actions of the Einsatzgruppen Groups in Eastern Europe in 1940-41 for no other reason than they had the word “police” attached to them. From their point of view, no matter what the police do[ as long as it is to someone else, not them] is o.k.
