We really need the video. The fact that he was possessing a realistic looking toy gun around civilians is hard to defend on its own.
It really comes down to the actual altercation that transpired. How quick were the police to pull the trigger after if he did inform them it was fake? Did he get repeated warnings to put it down? Was he trying to explain it, albeit in a standoff-ish manner?
It seems both parties may be at fault here.
