A very bias post of yours.

Dont you mean

Boy shot dead after not following police instructions and reaching or the gun that was in his waistband.

This was after the boy had been walking up and down the street waving his gun around and pointing it at people.

Sorry, Darwin award candidate..

How do you know he wasn't reaching for the gun in order to show the cops it was only a toy? He was 12 years old, it probably didn't occur to him that they would shoot him.

Oh, and he wasn't walking up and down the street, he was waving it around in a park  - and the guy who called the cops told them it was probably a fake.

Everyone knows you dont pull out even a toy gun. That is Darwin award behaviour.

Watch the video i posted, it shows him walking up and down the street waving the gun around.

I saw the video, he appeared to be in a park?

He was 12.

I think it's a good reason to ban toy guns.

Better to ban real ones IMO

I'm pretty sure the boy only pulled up his shirt, not "pulled out his gun" as the cop suggests. To show them where it was, the poor kid was probibly scared half out of his mind. Granted, he had no bussiness with even a toy gun at that location, did the kid deserve to be killed over a mistake?

He was on the effing street in the first half of the video.
Watch it again.

I think its a good reason parents should take responsibility for their kids
And teach them right from wrong.

Banning toy guns will achieve precisely what ?
Except guarantee they are shot as no toy guns exist so it must be real.

i was thinking of the parents too, perhaps a lack of guidance in that area

the kid didn't deserve to die over it, i believe the police could've handled to situation better

musta been easier for them just to shoot
