Blame everyone but who is actually to blame, the kid and his parents. People live in a fantasy world where police are evil and people breaking the law are sweet innocent angels. Pff

I've found the video where the police shot a kid for knocking on the car window.
Some law enforcers.

No, we live in a world where it's fine to make toy guns that look like the real thing, where parents don't care what their children do, where everyone is afraid of eachother, and people are put on the street with deadly weapons without proper conflict resolution training.

Blame the toy company who made that fake gun.
Blame the parents for not teaching their kid that pointing fake guns at people is wrong.
Blame the parents for buying him that toy gun.

These police officers did their job. The kid didn't put his hands up, he reached for his gun instead. He is to blame here. Poor kid obviously doesn't know how to interact with the police. Maybe that's what needs to change, teach kids to obey police officers.

Um, what exactly do America's gun laws have to do with 12 year olds carrying around "toy" guns that are basically replicas of the real thing... and waving them around in public terrorizong OTHERS to the point that someone felt the need to call the cops in the first place??

It's not obvious?  The number of guns in circulation in the US is basically enough for every man woman and child to have one.  Given that fact, police unfortunately have to be hyper sensitive to any report of someone with a possible firearm.  Whereas, in countries where private firearm ownership are prohibited, or in the very least, highly restricted, it's reasonable to assume that the police wouldn't have to assume the worst every time they receive a report of a kid brandishing a firearm.

this is the gun the kid had.  he had removed the orange tip 

Here we go again!

doesnt really matter, in america, when a cop kills someone, the only part people care about is the skin color of the person killed, the reasons they were shot are completely ignored.

Victims always painted as a perfect little faultless cherub loved by the community.

Nobody steps forward to say differently because they know, damn well, that their argument, no matter how compelling, will be ignored under the piss poor excuse of them simply being "racist".

So if the authorites in a country where personal firearms are either prohibited or heavily restricted received a call that a young kid was brandishing one in public and appeared to be pointing it and waving it around at others in a threatening manner, they wouldn't have taken the report as seriously as officers in the US do?

You would think that authorities in other countries with restricted gun ownership would view it as an even bigger threat because the youth in question must've been up to some serious criminal activity if he was able to get his hands on a gun in the first place in one of those countries.
