Yeah, I thought you'd like to have a word with them...
Ya know, when I think of all the thousands of hours I spent playing cops and robbers, army and commies with my pop gun and cap gun, if I only knew that I was risking being tactically taken down by Lima, Ohio PD...

LORAIN -- A 9-year-old boy was arrested at gunpoint and handcuffed Saturday
because he was waving a toy gun over his head while seated on a bench
outside a store, according to a Lorain police report.
His mother, Tamyka Saunders of Sheffield Lake, said her son, Thomas Clark
Jr., told Lorain police when they approached him outside a Broadway
business that the gun was a toy. An officer aimed his weapon at the boy's
head, ordered him to the ground, handcuffed him and arrested him for
juvenile delinquency by reason of inducing panic, according to the police
report.
Saunders, 28, was also charged with obstruction of justice and resisting
arrest when she pleaded with police not to arrest her son and to give him a
warning, according to a police report.
