No, but I'd imagine that the initial response would be a tad less aggressive.  That is, of course, an opinion (nothing I've fully researched or anything),  But, it'd make sense, don't you think?

Regardless of the circumstances that is a truly horrible thing to suggest. This is a child who made a stupid mistake while his parents weren't watching, not an idiot who killed themselves in a stupid, comical way by ignoring common sense. How many children go around thinking they are going to get shot and killed. 

Wow those cops actually deserve to be charged with murder.

See above, saying a child won a Darwin Award is disgusting.

You don't know anything about this kid and yet you think he's old enough to know better? Kids are stupid, clearly he was goofing off in the wrong place at the wrong time, doesn't mean he won a Darwin Award, its not like children will be born smarter cause a kid died making a stupid mistake. have some empathy.

Also there is nothing to doubt, the vids are all right there.

It sucks someone so young died like this. It is tragic. However,doing what he did by pointing it at bystanders and then not listening to police and reaching for his toy gun,what did he or others think was going to happen?

If the gun WAS real, were the cops supposed to just stand there and let him shoot them in fear of public outcry of what might happen if they have to shoot him?

From the video, it looks justifiable,but due to the michael brown stuff and all the evidence that people ignored with that case, im sure people will not see anything but the actual shooting and not the kid pointing the toy gun at people or the officers themselves and will just jump to the ''omg police are the devil''

I feel the law will have to make an example out of the cop who shot this kid after the aftermath of Michael Brown. If they don't do anything and let this cop go(even though its justified imo), then we'll see ferguson in cleveland and more people burning down their own cities

It's a shame any and all of this is even happening at the end of the day

In a country where gun ownership is more tightly controlled no one, and I mean no one, would have as their first thought that a kid waving around what looks like a gun is actually a real gun. Much less call the police all panicked about the possibility that a kid on the street is threatening people with a real gun. And the cops would not be reaching for their guns as their first choice option.

You think the circumstances of anyone's death is comical? That's truly horrible. I take the Darwin Awards seriously. Every Darwin Awardee's death is a sad tragedy, but from an evolutionary perspective their deaths benefit the species because they were prevented from procreating. I am all for preventing dangerously stupid, violent, sociopathic people from breeding; though I'd prefer it didn't happen by their deaths. Sometimes I think being required to have a licence to breed is a damned fine idea.

This wasn't comical, but it was stupid and ignoring common sense. Common sense says you do not wave something that looks exactly like a real gun at a cop, and to do so is stupid in the extreme. 

This post is so full of shit it's unbelievable.

the cops parked right next to him and gunned him down while exiting the car ..

that looks more like a hollywood movie kind of behavior than that of trained officers in my opinion

Really now, is it?

All i see on the news / across social media is "omg cops think its open season on black people".
