Hopefully the teen didn't get a chance to reproduce before he bit the dust :p

I feel bad for the police officer though, all the undue trouble likely headed his way. Hopefully he'll come out unscathed and stay on duty.

Speaking of air pistols, I had a super-duper cool one when I was younger. It was a replica of a Desert Eagle. The slide cycled with each shot, and the hammer worked too. The trigger was horrible, and I couldn't hit diddly with it. But it was fun as hell! :D
 
A local fellow (N TX area) recently passed on. He had been a professional criminal, who burgled to support his drug habit. When chased by police, he had found that he could get them to take cover by "drawing" an imaginary gun, and doing a fair impression of a Weaver stance with his finger-pistol, made up of two fingers stuck out at the officer. On a couple of occasions this had worked, so he just kept it as part of his repertoire. On about the third time he tried it, the officer knocked him down and took him to jail. On about the 4th or 5th time he tried it, the officer involved (each time it was a different cop) responded by appropriately shooting him in the head.

Surprisingly, he recovered with about 1/3 of his brain intact, and spent the rest of his daze in a wheelchair, smoking and drooling. His family had attempted to sue on the grounds of "police brutality," but after the third officer testified to his manual habit of intimidation, the finding was for the department and the officer.

A threat of deadly force is just that. Lack of a real gun makes no difference, if the perceived threat was there.
 
An Autopsy...is there some confusion as to cause of death...sorry..manner of death...cause was stupidity!

Anyone that pulls a gun (real or fake) or knife on a cop has made a life-ending decision.

All the red plastic muzzles in the world will not save you if you enter into the world of split-second lifesaving decisions.
 
Matt G it's amazing it took that long to happen to that fellow! He must have had a charmed life (for a while)! Sounds like just about the most dangerous game you can play! :eek:
