1. Exactly the reason these two cops need judicating and why the Justice Dept has been all up into

the CPD.

2. I found out in Iraq that bullets fired from a gun held by a child

behave exactly like bullets fired from the gun held by an adult. Now police in the US should be able to respond with lethal force if necessary to protect themselves and others, but they should also give people a chance to surrender using clear instructions something along the lines of: "Put the gun on the ground now!"

Whether or not it happens to be real or not may not even enter into it.

So my answer is: maybe

3. Do toy guns also behave exactly like real guns held by adults...

Do toy guns also behave exactly like real guns held by adults... knowledge given to the police officers by dispatch ("it's probably fake&quot prior to their fatal shots...?

6. Vile.

Most vile post I've seen in a long time.

4. I guess other developed countries .....

... don't have toy guns... or kids with toy guns...

Only in America do the police shoot unarmed people...kids and adults...in anywhere near the numbers we do in the US.

7. The crime here was "playing while black".

This is something several teenagers in McKinney Texas discovered as a new crime when a few of them were nearly shot for "playing while black".
