IMO:
The tragedy of "toy guns" looking so real is that, when PO's come upon someone "regardless" of age brandishing it, for the PO's own safety, they have to assume it's "real.
And if that "gun" (toy or not, it is still a gun) is pointed in the PO's direction and or at another civilian, the PO has to react to control the situation in only a split second.
If turns out "Toy gun", just make it a bigger tragedy!
Side note: "Toy Guns" should be required to be red, green, orange,
never black, silver, on any "real gun" color, would help the situation.
