It’s apparently not just BB-guns that can get little kids shot by the police these days. An 11-year-old African-American boy in Illinois was recently arrested by police who drew and aimed their guns at him, all because he was playing with a toy gun.

Police claim that they were “completely justified” in handcuffing the boy, and aiming their weapons at – ready to shoot him if he made the slightest “wrong move.”

The police say that one driver claimed the toy had been pointed at him, and that this justified more or less any and all militarized police response by the Granite City Police Department.

The 11-year-old, Chris Fulton, says he never pointed the gun at anyone but his friends, because they were outside playing – using their imagination.

Heeeeeeere's Chris!

If you have to draw your weapon on a kid playing, you are in the wrong line of work.
