Given the lack of care for the open/honest truth* we’ve seen from the LVPD & the inquest I would only be slightly surprised to hear of the police shooting someone ‘armed’ with a toy [who wasn’t bluffing up a bank-robbery or carjacking or somesuch].
[/cynic]
*We’ve seen them attempting to taint the outcome by parading the SUBJECTIVE and CIRCUMSTANTIAL as *fact.*
-We’ve seen them raid/search the deceased’s home w/o a warrant (do you HONESTLY believe there was a pressing and immediate need for that?).
-We’ve seen multiple changes in the official story, however the changes make things conflict more and do not clear things up.
-We’ve seen *no* OBJECTIVE analysis of the officer’s actions. (The inquest started with the bigoted assumption the officers were in-the-right.)

Addendum:
Do you remember that story about the SWAT-raid where the officers killed a sleeping girl [7 yrs old, IIRC] during a raid? The officer said that his weapon went off in a struggle to retain his weapon while the person he was struggling with [the girl’s grandmother, IIRC]. A throw-down water pistol would have given them a lot more credibility, no?
They could, in that case, used this story: “We *burst* into the house and the first thing I see is movement of something being aimed at me so I shot.”
