A child with a gun, i doubt the cop woke up in the morning and decided to go out and slaughter a child for the hell of it.

He had a job to do, police officers are trained to asses situations and assess how dangerous the person in question is, at this point he saw someone waving a gun around, it doesn't make a difference if it is a child or not, so he reacted in the way that they are trained to do.

I can't imagine this cop being happy to feel the need to kill a child, but under his oath to serve and protect, that is what he felt he needed to do and now he has to live the rest of his life knowing that he killed a child who was idiotically branding a fake gun, made to look like a real one, because he was doing as he was trained to do.
