Lately there was a young boy that was shot and killed by a police office. He was 12 (I believe, not entirely sure)and was carrying a toy gun. Above is a real gun in comparison to the toy gun. The orange tip has been removed to make it look real. The boy was reportedly aiming the gun towards people like he was going to shoot them. The police men had a short time to decide if the gun was real or merely a toy. I do feel sorrow for the family of the young boy but I also feel that if I was a responding officer, I would have done the same thing. Police officers are given such a negative reputation in today's media and not many people focus on the good that they do.
