They were responding to a call saying there was a gun, right? Then they get there and hear someone saying "dudes crazy autistic!!!!!" and, quite possibly not seeing the difference between a small toy truck and a gun from an unknown distance (thanks article, very thorough write-up... lol)... they had guns out.
Good police work? Maybe not. But it's not exactly a stretch that it could played out this way. Only goes really bad when the cops end up shooting when it does seem likely it wasnt necessary.
But again, we don't know the whole story and we aren't cops and we don't know a a lot of shit that probably contributed here. Which is why anyone who is getting fired up and making big conclusions here is dumb.
