My husband’s instinct was to call law enforcement, but that didn’t seem like the solution. Especially after Tamir Rice
The fact that black kids can’t enjoy playing with BB guns without the possibility of being murdered is fucking awful. The BB gun is a classic childhood toy, it’s like not being able to ride a hobby horse without someone assuming you’re a fucking cavalry charge. Like the “just don’t give them toy guns” solution A: doesn’t work, because cops think cellphones and lollipops are guns apparently and B: what kind of a fucking grinch are you to think that little kids should have to stop playing with their toys so that people don’t murder them?
Why I didn’t call the police when I saw two black boys with guns next door
