    Let’s list all items that do not look like a gun during a police encounter. I’ll start:

    Small puppy Couch Basketball Bucket full of fruit Ice

    I can’t think of anymore at the moment. There’s bound to be one or two other items.

      No one has claimed it looked like a gun. He was running towards the police with a gardening hoe with a clear intention to hit him. There’s video of it in this thread. This is not an example of a police shooting an innocent person. They shot someone that was attacking them with a lethal weapon.

        You sure this was what set him off? You sure he didn’t hear an acorn drop?

        Either one can apparently trigger police officer Psycho Mode.
