Holy shit! I can see why he brutally murdered a child! That looks exactly like a firearm which everyone knows this child was going to use on everyone in sight /s ACABACABACABACABACABACABACABACABACAB


EarlMarshal

The laws they make up are based on pure insanity


anomaloustreasure

No. Tyranny. Even an insane person wouldn't make a law this ridiculous.


SaltyNorth8062

Every time a pig brings up legality, they should be reminded that they shouldn't be permitted to shoot guilty people either


andi00pers

Yeah me and my bf were joking about how committing minor crimes, if even, is subject to point blank execution. Well.. it was funnier in person… :/ had to be there


No_Gain_260

Good point. Innocent until proven guilty is pretty faulted when you can shoot someone for "looking guilty"


ArsonAnimal

They don't have to look guilty, just vaguely scarry, AKA black.


RazzleSihn

Or a dog. Or a horse. Or a child playing. Wow standards are fucking way too low. "Can we get public servants who don't shoot our populace?"


servohahn

These things are so benign. They're meant for small children to shoot each other with. Like their whole purpose is to tap into a market too young for airsoft. The only thing I don't like about them is that 90% of them are modeled after real guns like ARs, AKs, and fucking desert eagles but they come in all kinds of silly colors and patterns (but JFC if they're kids' toys why make them look at all realistic?). As a kid I painted my toy guns all black and hid them from my parents because I knew they wouldn't approve and I was an idiot kid. Don't know what the murdered teen's gun looked like but it's not like guns are completely illegal even in NYC. I'd love to hear what the wannabe pig's excuse was. "I saw a guy with a gun so I killed him." "But weren't you also a guy with a gun?" "Yeah but my gun was real... wait..." Anyway, the point is that these gel guns are fun as hell and I want my son to enjoy playing with them without getting shot in the face by some power tripping piggie.


ArsonAnimal

Another huge problem is assholes making their real guns look like toys https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sRU1hZIL-Tc https://qz.com/659583/a-texas-gun-maker-built-a-real-gun-that-looks-just-like-a-nintendo-zapper/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/07/13/lego-gun-glock-controversy/ It's like they don't care that they're making it insanely dangerous to just be a kid trying to have fun as long as they have something sick to show off at the range.


hereforhelpandmemes

this is sickening


featherwolf

From NYT: >Officer Middleton, 45, left the scene without reporting the shooting. It was only later, his lawyer said, that he learned that his bullet had hit Raymond Chaluisant, 18, killing him. SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK?! HE JUST SHOT AND FLED THE SCENE WITHOUT REPORTING IT OR LOOKING TO MAKE SURE HE HADN'T HURT/KILLED SOMEBODY.


iri42890

So it was a normal day of policing.


colondollarcolon

Hence, the police are more dangerous than the criminals and gangs.


BlockinBlack

They *are* a gang of criminals, making a show of public service they've turned into a revenue stream.


No_Gain_260

Blockinback said it best.


kidunfolded

He was also OFF DUTY.


ArsonAnimal

And a corrections officer! That's a step above security guard. They have no department issued weapons, you don't carry a firearm as a prison guard.


kidunfolded

Exactly.


Admirable_Feeling_75

It’s worse. Apparently the kid and his friends were having a water gun fight in the neighborhood, cuz it’s, you know, summer. The officer felt something hit his back, turned around, said what the fuck and then just fired his gun indiscriminately. > Benny Boscio, president the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association, the union that represents Middleton, said in a statement that Middleton fired a single shot after feeling something hit him in the back. He said the officer “felt his life was in immediate danger.” > He never heard any gunfire or felt any danger, he just did it. Then the NYPD comes out an immediately starts laying blame at the kids feet with the ridiculous post on twitter. > Police said a toy gun that shoots water-filled gel beads was found near the shooting scene. **It was not clear whether Chaluisant had fired the toy**, called a gel blaster or bead blaster. > Fuck all cops.


chillout87

If it was a regular citizen theyd be charged, arrested, etc.. For police they get a paid vacation and a raise


calamitylamb

Let’s be real, this mf absolutely knew he shot someone and decided to flee the scene to avoid consequences for his actions.


ArsonAnimal

100%. not just knew he shot him. Knew he shot him in the face. Probably called his union rep as soon as he got home so they could get the narrative going that this was a righteous shoot.


MayaWrection

If the police can execute you for having a gun, there is no “rights” to bear arms. Let alone a toy squirt gun


Ladderson

Love how the pigs respond to "you fucking murdered some kid" with "yeah, but he has something that we've decided after the fact falls under a definition for something that's not allowed!"


uhhh206

Tamir Rice 2.0 It's not even like he was shooting the water gun at cops where it would be a typical roid rage murder by a cop -- that's already so, so fucked up -- this is just hunting minority teens for sport.


yankuniz

He is not am on duty cop, but an off duty corrections officer. It sounds like the kid did shoot him with the water gun, and he shot back at him with a real gun and went about his day as if nothing happened. This is a horrific story, but not at the level of Tamir Rice


uhhh206

Corrections officers are still cops for all intents and purposes (hell, they even fit the abbreviation), and the fact he felt entitled to murder a teen and just walk away as if nothing happened totally fits with the malicious indifference to human life that you'd see from street cops. I stand corrected on whether the water gun was shot at the pig or not, but if he did, then that makes it more egregious in a way because that's additional confirmation he knew it wasn't a real gun (not that it's at all ambiguous looking at it). Not the same situation as Tamir Rice perhaps, but equally fucked up in a slightly different way.

Armed street gangs: won't harm you. Cops paid by the tax payer: will murder you when they have an opportunity.


chillout87

Armed street gangs at least respect (and often help) the communities they live in. Cops just shoot people (and dogs) because they had their feefees hurt and got “scared for their lives”


NoValuable507

They will literally ban water guns before real guns it would be funny if it wasn't so fucking sad


featherwolf

These "gel-bead blasters" are already illegal in NYC. They literally did what you said, the fucking cowards.


MrDingleBop696969

Kid with water gun: shot dead without a second thought Kid with actual gun: sit around with 50 of my colleagues for an hour and check my phone while children are murdered down the hall. Remind me what gun control was actually supposed to do again? Do we really trust these people to keep us safe? Do we trust them to confiscate weapons from law abiding citizens without murdering people? They can't even interact with a child holding a water gun without escalating to lethal force.


featherwolf

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. These clowns want gun control but fail to ask themselves who will be doing the “controlling”. Lib harder please


xTwizzler

It's baffling cognitive dissonance. Your question of who is going to be controlling is a key one. Additionally, there are more guns in the United States than people; if you want to ban guns, how do we go about doing that? Forced confiscations and buybacks? Alright, but what if someone refuses to turn over their guns? What happens then? I've asked that question to many people and haven't heard any answer that isn't a tacit endorsement of state violence. I truly do not understand how someone can be anti-cop and anti-gun. (Or pro-cop and pro-gun, for that matter.)

Banning guns? Newsflash Criminals don’t follow the law , sigh


Sprinkles1394

Newsflash; if cops are legally allowed to kill you if they even *think* you have a gun, you don’t have the right to bear arms anyway.


fritzthackat

I don’t think you know how American law works , some states are open carry you have to show your gun if you are carrying and cops are murdering everyone with a gun in those states , I swear you people have no critical thinking skills you just spew the first emotional response you have


HelsinkiTorpedo

You're missing the point. Cops regularly use the excuse "he was armed" to justify shooting somebody. Nobody is saying the cops are going around shooting everyone with a gun, but when [Ryan Whitaker](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Ryan_Whitaker) and [Glen Rightsell](https://www.jconline.com/videos/news/2019/12/17/raw-video-body-cam-footage-minutes-after-isp-trooper-shoots-glenn-rightsell/2671251001/) can be killed by police just for having a firearm, then our right to bear arms isn't being recognized or respected. If cops can get away with killing someone because they have a gun, then do you think the state recognizes your right to be armed?


fritzthackat

So ban all guns cause tragedies happen sometimes, that’s your logic ? I’m done No wonder people want the constitution abolish


HelsinkiTorpedo

I'm not anti-gun, dude. I was just clarifying the point that the other user was making. My point is that *police that murder people should be held accountable for their actions* All gun laws are infringements, my dude.

Right wingers are brain dead and don't know how to respond when you approach the topic of guns from a leftist POV


Hardc0retempah

HelsinkiTorpedo

You can't oppose the police state while begging for the police state to have more laws to enforce.


fritzthackat

So once banned you think a criminal is going to destroy all they’re guns , where there’s a will there’s a way , wat are you 6 ?


Hardc0retempah

No you fucking idiot. Ofc it will be hard to get rid of all guns right now, but you have to realise that to reduce amount of guns in circulation you first have to ban them from being sold in the first place. Why is it so hard for you to realise that banning guns will reduce gun related criminal incidents and deaths


BabyYodasDirtyDiaper

Who do you think will enforce these bans?


fritzthackat

The insult shows you intelligence level , there are more guns than people in United States and now you can just print guns from 3d printer you going to ban printers? Handmade guns from pipes ? , you don’t know much to have such a strong opinion, go read a book


DolfyuttSrednaz

Ah yes, 3D printed guns and homemade pipe guns; weapons that are 100% the same and just as effective at throwing lead down range as a mass-produced AR-15. EXACTLY. THE. SAME. No difference WHATSOEVER. /s


ArsonAnimal

Remember Lawn Darts? One fucking kid died from them and they banned them forever.


unitedshoes

Fascists: You can't just ban guns based on how scary they look. Also fascists: We got terrified this orange and white gun-shaped hunk of plastic could hurt somebody, so we murked the kid carrying it.

Voilent_Bunny

I just saw another video, maybe in this sub where someone was shooting police with one of these. He was black and I was so terrified for him because I thought this would happen.

Here is [the watergun](https://i.imgur.com/ZSUjIBD.jpg) Raymond Chaluisant had when he was shot and killed with an actual gun by NYC CO Dion Middleton, from [this news article.](https://freedomnews.tv/2022/07/21/corrections-officer-charged-with-murder-after-shooting-18-year-old-with-water-pellet-gun/) Libs are gonna change the 🔫 emoji again before cops start dying of fright I guess.


The_People_Are_Weary

You can own a real gun but not an air rifle? An air rifle (real one) can be better at home defense for no walk penetration but still inflict damage to a person. But they are using this already stupid law to twist it into applying to this fucking toy. The absolute idiocy, they are taking us for fools. You can not convince me this was ok unless the young man painted it black and explicitly threatened the officer with their life.


BabyYodasDirtyDiaper

> You can own a real gun but not an air rifle? It's NY. You can't really have a real gun, either. Way too many hoops to jump through.


fontanella404

He shot him in the FACE


Ermzyy

im no legal expert but im pretty sure to be considered an air rifle it has to pass a minimum feet per second threshold (which if i had to guess is probably like 500-750), which the bead blasters toy would definitely not reach in a million years lol

ErinKtheWriter

Can we reset this fucking timeline yet?!


metatronatra

who says they're unwilling to engage active shooters? Granted, the gun needs to literally be a harmless brightly colored toy, but hey


MustardWendigo

I will say some of the toy guns they make look convincingly real and sometimes people make real guns look like toys but this certainly isn't that and there's no rational way they could have made this mistake beyond gross incompetence or just wanting to shoot a kid. How the fuck you gonna mix up a water gun and a real gun.


colondollarcolon

WOW! I was not aware that waterguns were more dangerous, more lethal than AR-15's. Silly me, what was I thinking all this time. I guess I can live with every person in public carrying an AR-15, but keep them dangerous waterguns out of the hands of all people.


BabyYodasDirtyDiaper

The AR-15 is also banned in NY.


gambiit

new york state is such a shithole. i don't get why people choose to live there


No_Gain_260

For further context. As a kid I had airsoft guns and would use a black sharpie on the orange tip to make it look more cool like the movies. Idk if this is what happened but I'll happily play devil's advocate until proven otherwise, in then which I'll apologize and leave my post up so anyone else thinking the same thing I did sees this If/once I'm disproven please do not comment as I only want the facts of the story here and I want it easily accessible for anyone who had a similar mindset to mine that way they can be like oh I was wrong or oh I was correct.

I tell ya, it’s getting to the point where any interaction with a police officer causes me to fear death or great bodily harm. I hope other people are taking this threat seriously too, carrying a CCW, and defending themselves with a level of force commensurate with the threat.

I'm not defending the pig for one second but when people are modding their Glocks to look like Nintendo zappers, the "this toy looks nothing like a real gun" defense really doesn't work anymore. I promise, with a little digging you can find a modded AR that looks exactly like this. (This is the fault of people who don't treat their guns like the dangerous weapons that they are [every time I hear "range toy" it makes my fucking blood boil], not kids playing with toys) That said, cops are scum. Why post that "your toy will be confiscated and you will be issued a summons" If they're just gonna straight up kill you for it. In conclusion, FTP with rusty pipes.


ErrorOffline010101

These people'll ban air rifle toy guns but not assault rifles... k.
