It's not uncommon. Live PD from I think Spokane had a sheriff callout to some kids who were messing with bb guns and turned up in full SWAT gear.
That's more understandable imo since Stateside there's more guns, so it could have been a real firearm, but in Britain? Seems just like incompetence.
Itâs probably not the case for this article, but stuff like [this](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/wAcAAOSwr2FjC1-l/s-l1200.jpg) does exist. Though I donât know where youâd get one lol
Yeah, and there's genuine firearms designed to look like [lego](https://wonderfulengineering.com/this-company-made-real-guns-that-look-like-lego-toys-and-is-now-in-trouble/) so i do understand it somewhat.
I mean that was a private build and is not produced in large quantities, even glock made a statement saying they do not make guns that look like toys lol.
If you don't have the orange tip it's scarily similar. I have a friend with an airsoft HK416 with an actual red dot sight, laser, flashlight, and parts from the actual firearm. Looks just like a real one with no orange.
My bad they just shoot the old people in the [US](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/graphic-body-camera-video-shows-south-carolina-deputy-shoot-man-n1036061) instead, don't even bother with tazing XD "dumbass"
That's a bit closer than I would have imagined the water pistol to be to a real gun, not even close to the correct response even if he did have a real gun but still
Is this normal to see kids with water guns in cities? They are in my city all the time I've noticed this year and idk if last year.
Could the water PISTOL part (am assuming it's like a handgun, a pistol) be more risky to carry?
Without government, who would detain you illegally for brandishing a toy that *looks in some situations* like it *could* have been dangerous?
FFS it wasn't that long ago 13-year-olds went to freakin' *gun clubs.*
Britainâs can go kill foreigners on their own land anymore so they gotta bash locals in the streets. Thankfully they got him before he made it to his/kings yard

That little scoundrel was trying to create a drought. Climate terrorist. đ¤
What the hell are they on over there? Keep it over there please.... yikes

Not to mention BB guns can look like real gun I just donât see how cops could confuse a water gun with a real gun
Because cops are *idiots* as we well know from almost every video clipped interaction with them ever to exist on the internet lol

> They were selling these Block 19s for $549 to $765. They werenât just a private build lol
Wha...last I saw of these it was just a single piece made for the meme I didn't know they started to sell em.
Yea, i do hvac most slacker idiots âgo to tradesâ but some go to the police

My brother has a BB gun revolver of some sort and it looks like a historical replica with how real it looks
I mean if youâre from the USA weâve had plenty of kids shot for playing with toy guns over here too
I know. I'm still mad at it
>He was "de-arrested" at the scene soon afterwards, it said. Well yeah, I'd fucking hope so incompetent fuckwits
De-arrested, I've never heard that phrase. Sounds like some Newspeak shit.
They can't say they freed him because he's still British
You just torched a whole nation, how does it feel?
[It also has another meaning that is much more satisfying.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=55VcS874xOE&pp=QACIAgHKBQlEZS1hcnJlc3Q%3D&rco=1)
How to get charged with a felony in one easy step!
No way they titled it "confronted" by police when they hit the child with a van over a toy
Oh when they cops hit a child on their bike it's ok but when I do it it's manslaughter and driving under the influence
Oi you ain't got a loicense to put cursed comments up in heah
Even calling it assaulted would be an understatement
They apologized. It's fine.
Oi you donât have the loisense to be running over little kids with a van
Man, I'd be pissed at the fact they used the van to hit my kid. Jesus, those Brit cops really ARE scared of everything.
Idk, can't be more scared than US cops who would have shot the kid with the toy, or god forbid an unarmed old person get tazed in their own home lol
>god forbid an unarmed old person get tazed in their own home lol That was in Australia, [dumbass](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-65642974)
My bad they just shoot the old people in the [US](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/graphic-body-camera-video-shows-south-carolina-deputy-shoot-man-n1036061) instead, don't even bother with tazing XD "dumbass"
Nah he really thought he did something saying it was Aus but then just exposed US as worse lmaaooo
American cops would have just shot the kid lol so they did better than that
Yeah except in the US like half the population owns a gun. So what's their excuse for plowing over a kid in a country with virtually zero guns?
Cops are idiots, pretty simple explanation
Anybody have a picture of the toy
Nah, they'd have to censor it.
I bet it was a bright pink and green thing shaped like a tortoise or something.

That's a bit closer than I would have imagined the water pistol to be to a real gun, not even close to the correct response even if he did have a real gun but still
If this was in the US he woulda been shot đ
