Sadly, young Mr. Lopez wasn’t carrying two trumpets when he drew the attention of the patrol deputies. He WAS in possession of a replica firearm (as defined by the CPC Section 12550), and openly carrying it in a public place, (a violation of 12556 CPC), when, according to the deputy’s acccount, he turned, with the muzzle of the AK replica turning in their direction.
Tragic, without question.
However, one might also question a parent who allows his teenage son to walk down a public road carrying what photographs published right here on FR appears to be a very convincing rendition of an AK47, in violation of both the law and common sense. There was certainly negligence in this case, but on the part of the parents, not the deputies.
