Too bad he didn’t just split. OK, this is getting lame now.

I can't blame police for shooting a 12 y/o kid who grabbed for a "toy" that looked like a 1911 pistol. It's easy even for an expert to confuse the two.
Fake gun
Real gun

However, I lose my open mind when it comes to confusing a banana and a real gun.
yellow banana
green banana
plantain
real gun
My gut instinct is that someone who has trouble distinguishing any type or color of banana from a firearm may not belong on the streets as a police officer.

Was it a 9 mm banana or a .45 banana?

The moral of the story is dont point anything at a police officer.
They are not there for your amusement. They are not there to be taunted.
They are there for your protection.

Obviously these two cops aren’t here for anyone’s protection. They are just here to make cops look like morons.

Shouldn’t stand up in court, unless it’s a fully automatic banana.
