    Wasn't this posted here a couple days ago? I think the takeaway is, if you point a realistic looking fake gun at someone with a real gun, they're going to shoot you with real bullets.

      Yeah, if you're a stupidly credulous dickhead, that might be the takeaway.

      But Ohio is an open carry state. I posit that either this kid wasn't afforded that freedom because the cops don't know the law, are inherently ****ty cops who saw a black kid with a gun and nearly soiled themselves, or the law is inherently stupid.

      And it's funny because you believe in the opposite of each of those premises.

        Open carry != open point at people.

          I'm glad I'm white - I might have lost my life when my super-soaker was mistaken for an uzi

            I saw a picture of the airsoft gun in question. I have fired actual guns and would be hard pressed to tell the difference unless I was actually holding it.

              So you're leaning "cops don't know laws"

                Normally I'd say that white guys that wave guns at officers get shot also. But two seconds. Even that sounds fast for making a judgment call unless they had some preconceived notions.

                  The person calling 911 mentioned possible fake gun + juvenile (which should have called for more than 2 seconds of decision-making), though that's not proof that the 911 operator conveyed that information to the police

                    if people wanna get outraged about cops shooting a black teen, this is it...

                    cops gotta understand they're signing on to take a bullet if need be to avoid such mistakes

                    40-45 years ago I couldn't imagine cops reacting like that to us running around playing cops and robbers or cowboys and indians

                        Seriously guys. Open carry doesn't mean you can't be charged with brandishing.

                          I agree, they should have charged the kid with brandishing a fake gun - that would have been preferable to killing him.

                            I hope you're not seriously defending the cop in this example.

                              Yes, because pointing something that may be a loaded gun at people is a sensible idea. Alongside removing the orange tips that are explicitly there to provide easy identification of the toy.

                              I can't see how that could possibly go wrong.
