It's a shame we have come to this in the USA but making toy guns that look like that is even more of a shame.

I don't know how it went down or why he didn't drop it when he saw the police, regardless of if he heard them yell for him to put it down. I wasn't there.

companies have been required to make toy guns with an orange tip since 1992.....

this is a failure of the patents who broke the law, by removing/allowing to be removed to orange tip

Like I said, people who defend this murder are as much of a low life as the scum who murdered this boy.

Did the parents even know the tip was off? No blame if they didn't. But I'm still wondering in what world a gun like this is a "toy", orange tip or not. What are they playing at?

Not a "murder"

The gun looked real

The kid didn't put it down after being told to several times

The kid raised the gun instead of lowering it

The kid got shot

End of story

I usually am very suspicious of the Police, but the age of the boy carrying a toy gun gives a little more justification for what happened, even if it was an accident. If the officer's story is true, than their actions are justified.


If the teen was a little younger, I'd be outraged, but honestly, you don't expect a lot of Junior High kids to be carrying around toy guns.

If I was the officer there though, with many other officers present, I would have reached for my taser rather than my pistol.

Probably made in china, they don't have to adhere to U.S. patents.
