when death is the law sanctioned alternative, you damn right an ass kicking is a viable alternative. Something that the cops would not have to do if dad would have kicked little Jr.'s ass for pointing a real looking replica of a .45 auto/1911 at people. Matter of fact take the replica out of the equation for all intense and purposes this was a real gun. Would you react differently if the receiver and action were aluminum instead of plastic?
there is also like 11 mins of 'playing' that most news sources leave out of that video. Plus a 911 call that I initially remember of someone frantically describing a young man with a gun that has all but disappeared off the interwebs.. If this little kid was indeed 'playing with a toy gun' by chasing people around or practicing 'holding a corner' with his gun, and this is the prep the officers were given going into this situation I'm surprised they did not try and disarm with their car.
Meaning I've seen videos where cops will not confront a man with a gun who is menacing a street they come up on his blindside and hit him with the car as a means to keep from getting themselves shot.
