To bad, but the kid should have done as he was told.
I think there is a good chance he did, or tried to. I would imagine he was scared.
What should this guy have done differently to save his life?

I can see that, to scared to drop the gun, maybe being his favorite toy, possibly frozen with fear?, I can not disagree that he died thinking wtf did I do to deserve this.

Well, this seems a little hinky:
A timeline released Thursday by the Santa Rosa police shows that only 10 seconds passed from the moment that the sheriff's deputy and his partner called dispatch to report a suspicious person to the moment they called back to say shots had been fired.
My observation is that the dirty rotten liar rate is 100% when it comes to protecting themselves or their fellow "made men" brethren. If you are not in their gang you don't count.

.Authorities target pot grows in southwest Santa Rosa sweep
. http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20120926/articles/120929653
Dozens of combat-clad police officers, deputies and federal agents swarmed a southwest Santa Rosa neighborhood Wednesday morning in the region's largest-ever operation against residential marijuana gardens.
A team of 150 law enforcement officers raided 32 homes off Moorland Avenue immediately south of the Corby Auto Mall, where the pungent smell of marijuana hung heavily in the air and backyard marijuana plants towered over fences in plain view from the street.
Law officials, who suspected gang involvement with at least some of the gardens, arrested 13 people on a variety of drug and weapons charges and seized more than 300 plants from 32 locations, said Sonoma County sheriff's Lt. Dennis O'Leary.
The raids began about 9 a.m. when FBI agents in full military gear ordered residents to leave, then rushed into their homes, most of them modest multi-plex units.
Soon the area was punctuated by the sounds of exploding flash grenades at several homes in the neighborhood, which is bordered by Highway 101 on the east and railroad tracks on the west.

What is your point? That this is the same kind of overzealous, militarized, response (exclusive to minority neighborhoods) that cost the child carrying a replica gun his life?

in a gang infested drug peddling neighborhood, its not a good idea to be seen walking around with anything that looks like a gun.
no wonder the civilian gave the kid a good warning to get rid of the gun he was carring.

all these armed criminals. Isnt that what needs to happen in Chicago as well.

Moorland Avenue in Santa Rosa doesn't seem much like the Bronx.
Looking at the timeline, the shooting took place awfully goddamn fast:
"A timeline released Thursday by the Santa Rosa police shows that only 10 seconds passed from the moment that the sheriff's deputy and his partner called dispatch to report a suspicious person to the moment they called back to say shots had been fired."
For reference, my time on an IPSC El Presidente drill was typically 7.x seconds, on a good day in the 6.x range. That's twitching WAITING for the start, when I know I'm going to spin and draw the instant I hear the beginning of that buzzer sound. Fire 2 rounds on each of 3 targets, speed reload, fire 2 rounds again, stop.
10 seconds for all the radioing, getting out of cars, shouting commands..... yeah this probably all happened WAY too fast for 13-year old kid to comprehend.
"HUH WHAT YOU MEAN ME?"
To their unfortunate credit, they got 7 rounds on target in this very short timeframe, with 2 of them being fatal wounds. I suppose that would have been great if he'd been a spree killer or something instead of a foolish teenager.

7 is how many rounds hit the target. 8 were actually fired, so one shot went wild. This is quite unusual, shootings typically involve many more shots going wild. E.g. recent NYC incident where police attempted to shoot some crazy guy on the street, missed every time, and hit 2 bystanders.

Yes, and from what I understand it is illegal to have a toy gun without at least a red tip
Per this story, the red tip had broken off. Plastic toys do break. Many of the guns of my childhood had duct tape fixing broken corners. Fortunately the many neighborhood "shootouts" of my youth never involved police.

Jimmell Cannon Shot Eight Times By Police While Allegedly Holding A BB Gun
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/26/jimmell-cannon-shot-eight_n_909583.html
Jimmell Cannon was in serious to critical condition late Monday night at Chicago's Stroger Hospital, as the 13-year-old was riddled with bullets -- two in the hand, two in the shoulder, four in the leg.
The 13-year-old boy, whose parents describe him as a fun-loving, "straight A-B student," wasn't the victim of gang violence or a crazed attacker. Instead, the gunmen were Chicago police officers.
According to FOX Chicago, police arrived at a park near the Piccolo Specialty School where Jimmell attends to respond to a call of shots fired. They claim Jimmell matched the description of the shooter, so they came after him. He appeared to be holding a weapon in his hand, police say, and when they asked him to lower it, he refused. When he pointed the weapon in the officers' direction, they opened fire. Apparently, eight rounds were required to subdue the 13-year-old.

Police responded to a call of a "man with a gun" in the 1000 block West Cullerton Avenue around 10:40 p.m. Thursday, according to a statement from police.
Moorland Avenue in Santa Rosa doesn't seem much like the Bronx.

MICHAEL LIRA AND 13-YEAR-OLD ACCOMPLICE ARRESTED IN SANTA ROSA FOR ALLEGED HOME INVASION ROBBERY
Published by Staff Writer on April 29, 2011
Two teens were arrested Thursday after allegedly breaking into a Santa Rosa home, ordering the residents to give them money, and threatening them with a gun in what appears to be a gang-related incident, police said. Michael Lira, 19, and a 13-year-old boy are suspected of breaking into a home in the 900 block of West Avenue early Thursday morning.

THE US CRIME RATE IS THE LOWEST IN DECADES.
In the past 20 years, for instance, the murder rate in the United States has dropped by almost half.
In the meantime the police have gone straight crazy in the pursuit of arming themselves for occupation and repression.
Really, they are who you should be scared of. When was the last time you bumped into and were victimized by the Nuestra or La Eme or the bad boy biker boogie men that the cops use to justify buying armored assault vehicles.

and when was the last time 99.9% of the population were shot at by the police? We can play these word games from both angles.
The police are hyped up as they should be given the frequent shootings by juveniles. And it's probably not the % of shootings, but the sensational reporting of them by the rabid liberal media that has enforcement on edge.

Maybe so. Whatever the cause why does less crime warrant insanely militarized, hostile and authoritarian law enforcement? Or draconian laws and sentencing guidelines?
I have noticed stories lately about "woman arrested and strip searched over traffic tickets!" or whatever. It is because the Supremes ruled last year that they could SS anybody that they brought in for any crime. Do you think they will miss any opportunity to make you spread your cheeks and squat?
Or mandatory blood draws under restraint for suspected drunk drivers as is happening in a few states?
This is civilian degradation and submission training.
My grandfather would have been aghast, and it would have been a bloody free-for-all.

OK, we are going to have to take more extensive measures to get your cortisol levels back down. You need to immediately unplug your TV. It is most probably the source of this hysterical anxiety.
A kid in America is more likely to be struck by lightning than shot in a mass school shooting. Maybe the cops could patrol the playground with some kind of umbrella lightning rods grounded to their new $250,000 Lenco BearCat armored vehicle.
Because as far as I know they have never, ever, stopped a school shooting from taking place. They are more likely to "shelter in place" behind the BearCat waiting for the suicide shot. (Officer safety being paramount) That is certainly what they did at Columbine, while people bled to death.
You on the other hand are more likely to be killed by the TV (that is hopefully now unplugged) or your toaster than by International Terrorism.
You don't really need to be so scared.

Veteran liked to write articles for SWAT magazine, teach firearms, and talk about the need to have a "mean gene".
In a 2008 article written by Gelhaus for S.W.A.T. Magazine, the officer warned against hesitation in deciding to use a firearm lethally.
"Today is the day you may need to kill someone in order to go home," he wrote. "If you cannot turn on the 'mean gene' for yourself, who will? If you find yourself in an ambush, in the kill zone, you need to turn on that mean gene."
He once shot himself in the leg, it would have been a shame for him to retire with the only person he shot having been himself. Looks like he finally got that gunfight he wanted to play & win, too bad it turned out to be with a kid.

Even considering that you pulled these numbers out of your ass, that leaves 3.5 seconds for the suspect to turn around and point the gun at them. Had it been real gun, you could have a dead cop. If 3.5 seconds is long enough for the cop to shoot the suspect, it is ALSO enough time for the suspect to shoot the cop. So AGAIN, if you believe the police must count to ten, or count to ANY number before shooting, I don't think that makes a lot of sense. What you seem to be saying is that the cop deliberately murdered the suspect even though he didn't believe his life was in danger. What's the motive?
Only senior officer fires, rookie does nothing. Let's say 4 seconds firing time.
Well that's a separate issue. Yes, the fact that only one officer fired, and fired 7 shots, is worthy of investigation. But the timeline alone is not proof of melfeasance.
