Not to mention how often we hear about kids finding their parents guns. We are constantly being told by the liberal media how often kids take their parents guns, so it's not a stretch to believe a 12 y/o might have a real gun.

That comes with the job though, they should be trained to react more cautiously especially when they're armed and dealing with a juvenile

Its hard to judge the tensions in that area, what the cop had experienced that week, what he saw etc. But as arista says - when a cop says down, you go down and you dont play with replica guns in the street no matter what age you are

my son is always playing with toy guns, firing them out the window of the car and pretending to shoot people in the supermarket, our police aren't armed here thankfully and people don't automatically assume he's a crazy 10 year old killer
