I am not a big fan of police.
That being said. What is suppose to happen? A cop get shot before they know it was a pellet gun? Are the cops equipped with superman type vision where they can magically scan the pellet gun to know it’s a pellet gun? I have a cheapo pellet gun that looks just like a 1911. You can’t tell the difference. Take a look at some of the airsoft replicas. They are identical in every way to firearms.
80 rounds? Well. Dead from 1 or 80. What’s the difference.
