DHS Targets Disturbing

I agree with Snipersnest. While these maybe offensive, they are holding "what appears to be a weapon". However, I would add a child holding a toy gun with red barrel cap to the mix.

Good add to the mix! But, an LEO cannot take that chance. I get it. A weapon pointed at said LEO must be treated as a real weapon. However, the LEO does have body armor and should be trained to move "off the X" and identify whatever is visible. And I will openly admit, that in a scared as hell moment I could not make myself do all that in a millisecond, and I cannot expect it from anyone else.

A few years ago my partner and I were responding to a man with a gun call. As we get to the scene we see a male brandishing what appeared to be an MP5.
We jump out the vehicle pointing our handguns yelling for him to drop it. Fortunately he did and never turned or pointed the weapon towards us.
Come to find out it was an airsoft where he or someone painted over the orange tip. Also he was 16 years of at the time. He found it that we thought it was real. I was so hyped up. We both came very close to shooting that kid. I took the weapon and with a swift kick gave the kid a stern talking too.
It took hours before our heartbeat settled into being somewhat normal. I still think about how close came to shooting that kid.
Now mind you that kid was no innocent. A week later he actually did shoot someone with a real gun.
Thought so. I knew I had picture. He're a picture of the gun. Tell me in a split second decision this kid could have been shot.

I understand that you can't hesitate. Someone might paint the end of their Ak-47 red. I don't fault the responders when someone points "what might be a weapon" at them. You do what you have to do.

And we've had similar issues like that as well. A sister county were seizing handguns that were painted in neon colors to make them look like toys. Thankfully, that hasn't really caught on, yet.

I'm not a LEO, but if he pointed that at me he'd gain some nifty new thoracic ventilation holes.
