So riddle me this. Only to take the most glaring incidence of a 12 year old (black) boy was shot within two seconds because he was playing with a toy gun in the streets. Video is readily available via google, I won't look it up for your convenience.If in the History of the world no 12 year old has killed a man or even a cop with a gun, then I can understand the idea of an over reaction. Not to mention the toy was not a overt obvious toy it was an airsoft pistol that had been modified to look more realistic (the orange barrel was painted black) It looked like a real gun.
I don't know about you, but if playing with a toy gun at that age warrants death, I would be six feet under for the last 40 years by now.
Tell me that is a toy. That is a 1:1 replica of 1911 45 automatic that is designed to fire projectiles. Some airsoft guns fire with the aid of co2 carts and make a convincing pop for about 1/2 a second. These airsofts guns function in same exact way the real guns work. There is no discernible way to look at this gun and tell it is a fake. the only way to know for sure is to pick it up, which the cops cant do if the kid has it on him.
Except that Ohio is an open carry state, meaning it is not against the law to openly carry a firearm fake or not.
I guess we all know the laws are applied different to black folks, right?
