Yes, but a police officer is expected to instantly tell the difference in a split second as a gun, fake - or possibly real - is pointed in his face.

I am reminded of the case of black teen, Tamir Rice, who pointed a fake gun at cops, who then shot him.

Here is the fake gun Tamir Rice pointed at the police:

And here is the child (according to the media) who pointed the gun at police:

All hell broke out against the cops, of course.

"I knew it was a gun and I knew it was coming out." The officer shot twice, hitting Rice once in the torso. Rice died the next day.

A grand jury refused to indict - but the city of Cleveland paid out $6 to Rice's family.
