the lesson is do not play with replica guns in the street or this can happen

More probablys, maybes, ifs and buts.

If the cop thought he was 20 then he's not much of a police officer to be almost a decade out in assessing the age. Strange how the old man who made the 911 call more or less correctly assessed the scene from across the street correctly guessing the gun was fake and the perp was a child but the trained police officers got so much wrong.,
