Do you honestly think you can accurately hit a target no more than half a foot (let's say arm or leg where there's no vital organs) in order to wound and disable but not kill? No matter who you are, when you're in a firefight you don't think to wound. You shoot to stop the assailant no matter what.
Bottom line, kid's fault. He wore a hoodie, with a fake AK and a fake pistol stuffed down his pants. Even if he didn't intend to do anything wrong, not saying he did, it was his choice of what to wear and to look unsavory. His parents choice to give him a fake gun when he's so obviously irresponsible.
Hindsight is 20/20 but most people would've blamed the officers if the boys gun was real. If the AK was real, he turned around and shot the officers, or even if they wounded him, he went down and still had the AK in reach and fired. That AK will tear up a standard police vest. Yet most everyone would've blamed the officers for not shooting or for just wounding him.
