Suspect Shot After Pointing Toy Gun At Police

Chalk another one up for the good guys.

PHILADELPHIA - November 20, 2007 - Authorities say police shot and hit a suspect they were chasing after he turned and pointed a replica gun at them.

The shooting happened at 3rd and Indiana just after 2 p.m.

Police say they were chasing a suspect when they thought he turned and pointed a gun at them. As it turns out, the weapon was really a replica gun.

Officers opened fire, hitting the suspect in the leg. Police put the injured man into a police cruiser and rushed him to a nearby hospital. There's no word yet on his condition or on the circumstances surrounding the chase. (H/T - 6ABC)

Here's some free advice to the criminal filth that in habits my fair city: if you're going to carry a toy gun, it's probably not the best idea to point it at the police. You see, we carry real guns, and we're not afraid to use them.

I know what you're thinking: why didn't they shoot him in the pumpkin? Good question. I still think I have a better answer. See, the media in this town despises us. They salivate whenever we make a mistake. Had the officers killed this toad, they - and the department - would have been crucified.

We're trained to shoot for center mass. Sometimes we take someone down without hitting it. The bottom line it this: it's one more toad off the streets.
