Terrible, another example of a corrupt and racist police force. It's a shame that, ultimately, crimes like these are doomed to repeat themselves.

Considering how quick they are to use them, you'd think a fully trained officer could be able to tell the difference between a toy and the real thing as well.

Never mind the fact that, if there was a situation, the police officer should have diffused the situation calmly or at worst use non lethal force, not shoot a child and realise his mistake afterwards. At best he is an incompetent officer that murdered a child, at worst he is an incompetent racist officer who racially profiled the child and tackled the situation with extreme prejudice.

Would this officer be so quick to fire if the child was white? I think not.

I hate to say it/think it but I think you're right.
