Why do headline writers like to overstate things?  Air guns are not toys, tho I will admit some mistakenly think so, apparently including the victim here.

He was holding an air gun being sold by a store that sells air guns in the section of the store that sells air guns, right? Why should that be disallowed?

The article indicated he was shot in the toy section, which unless Ohio Wal-Marts are laid out considerably differently from any other Wal-Mart I have been in, is not the section that has the air guns. Air guns are not toys folks, and they do not have the day-glow orange marking toy guns are required to have.

I think you're missing the point here...

I think you're straining over backward to prove your anti-pig credentials.  In this case someone was waving around what looks like a firearm (and incidentally can cause real harm, tho not as much as a firearm). It caused a stir and caused the cops to be called.  The guy was still there when they arrived and still waving it around.  The cops told him to put the gun down and he didn't comply.  Perhaps you think the cops should have waited until the guy started shooting to respond so that they could see whether or not it was an air gun or a firearm, but no, under the circumstances I'm not going to fault them for not taking additional risk by waiting for the guy to shoot first. Or perhaps you think the cops should have shot only to incapacitate?  The only people who should shoot to incapacitate are actors and idiots.

So...every idiot open carrying into restaurants and stores can be called upon at any moment by police to drop their weapon and killed if they don't immediately comply, right?

So if I saw an open carry demonstration and then called 911, then would the cops be justified in killing some of those guys?

It's interesting how this case never blew up like Mike Brown did. All evidence points to the police being unquestionably in the wrong.
Indeed, I've wondered the same.  Despite the rhetoric heard from most people, there were a LOT of questions around the Mike Brown case and Mike Brown was clearly no angel and even if the cops were wrong (I still don't think that's been shown yet), Mr Brown still played a large role in his own death.

This dude wasn't a thug, didn't assault a police officer or a store clerk nor do anything even threatening.  (one could argue that you shouldn't stroll around a store with a gun looking object in your hand, but that's small potatoes)  Where is the 20 page thread?  Where are the protesters, where are the "leaders of the black community"?

..and the halfwit cracker that called in the "threat" should get his ass kicked, if not spend 6 months in county.

You think 6 months is appropriate? Remember, the guy arguably took actions that resulted in the death of two people (a woman died of a heart attack in the ruckus surrounding the shooting).
