What the heck are you talking about, Gunnar?
The fact is that the caller told the dispatcher there was a guy in the park waving around what was probably a toy gun, but might be a real gun. The caller was uncertain as to which.
What protocol prohibits the dispatcher from arming the responding officers with all of the pertinent information conveyed by the caller?
@Gunnar...The facts were that the 911 caller said it was probably fake. I don't think the dispatcher inquired as to whether or not it had an orange tip. It didn't but are you saying that information wouldn't be relevant?
HotD is right. It might have slowed the severity of the cop's reaction just enough.
