Jeez... the gun looked like a plastic piece of crap, not real. It is not a crime to open carry a plastic weapon. There is no evidence that the boy looked or acted hostile during his walk to a friends house.
One of the two cops rolled up, open his door and shot the boy seven times in less than 10 seconds. The other cop did not fire because he did not feel threaten. I will repeat the other cop did not fire because he was not threaten.
The cop wanted to shoot to kill the second he rolled up. His mentality is I am cop and the only one allowed in this country to carry arms. I will kill anyone exercising their 2nd amendments rights. Anyone carrying a gun deserves to die.
