stormed the home of a boy, 12, and arrested him after he was seen playing with a toy BB gun.It came after a member of the public called 999 claiming to have seen a black male holding a firearm inNow a Met Police commander has defended his officers saying they were ‘committed to bearing down on violence’.But Kai’s mother Alice criticised the police saying her family felt ‘utterly violated’ and ‘terrified’ by the incident.

She said the Met had thrown ‘every single resource except a helicopter’ at the incident, adding that in addition to the armed officers and dog unit, there were two vans of ordinary PCs and an ambulance. Commander Kyle Gordon, the Met’s lead for firearms, said: ‘There have been a number of well-publicised shootings in London in recent months where members of the public have been injured.‘As the public would rightly expect, we take every report of a firearm seriously in order to protect our communities.

A BB gun it’s a weapon

This is great example for systemic racism , instead of trying to compare ... oh gun looks pretty real Take a look on recognising systemic racism !

Is this real or a toy

2) reported it to the police and armed response officers came and took the lighter away and destroyed it, they had my niece surrounded and she was only 9 years old, so I’ve no sympathy.

1)I’m sorry but my son was never allowed outside the back garden with his toy guns because I know what could happen, my niece back in the 90’s took my sisters ex’s lighter outside and it was the same shape as a hand gun, a neighbour

But let's face it, the gun wasn't a bright yellow toy gun like the one he's innocently pictured with, look at the little picture of the gun on the center. Looks more like a Glock 35 than a toy!!! Armed police were right to storm the house! Maybe she should have been arrested!

What were they supposed to do ignore the call ? It could have been a serious incident and he’s hardly a toddler !

Does that look like a toy

It’s awful what is going on in the world. I hope he is okay. One thing I would say is why would any child be allowed to play with a fake gun!

This is also a real handgun. Kids younger than him are used to carrying, using guns & being used to move weapons around because gangs think they don’t attract as much attention as older kids or adults.

Sure looks like a gun to me. Kids younger than him are used to carrying, using guns & being used to move weapons around because gangs think they don’t attract as much attention as older kids or adults.

It’s not getting any better is it...I mean what kind a neighbour would report such thing? we’re talking about toy gun?! Please don’t tell me this isn’t RacialProfiling! BlackLivesMatter

10th time I’ve seen this boring story reposted

Because parents normally buy their son a BB gun to practise how to shoot .. and then we wonder why gang members are so immune to using one ...

Far better to be safe than sorry. Aw didums. All the Libtard Snowflakes moaning

DebWalk19961736 😡

Even with the blue slide that looks real enough...

It is an offence to carry a pistol.

Don’t play with guns kids

...

How are those officers meant to know if the gun is a fake, toy or real from a distance? No doubt the same people moaning would be the same people complaining if the gun was real and he went out and shot someone.

Here we go more BLM shit

The person who reported it should be arrested in a similar fashion for voyeurism, you have to be mentally twisted or criminal to be looking into peoples homes like that.

A 'young man' was seen through a window with 'a gun in his hand'. BB guns should be banned. They're lethal to small children and animals, can take anyone's eye out and have no useful purpose. What sort of mother buys any type of gun for her son to play with anyway?

Armed cops burst into family home and arrest boy, 12, seen playing with TOY gunA FAMILY was left traumatised after armed police burst into their home at night and arrested a 12-year-old boy after he was seen with a TOY gun. Mum-of- three Alice Mina Agyepong, who lives in Some… MaajidNawaz Were the armed cops Britons of White? Or Britons of Colour? I heard in an interview mum went to bed and left the boy still up at midnight . Probably not the wisest move to leave a 12 year old child up at that time playing with a mock gun by the window . Any passer by would be easily concerned . No win situation for police !

This Instagram user shows that size 12 Zara jeans are smaller than ASOS size 8Instagram user the_rebeccaedit showed how a pair of size 12 Zara jeans are smaller than a size 8 pair from ASOS. This is so annoying but not uncommon at all! I once brought 3 items from one high street shop, jeans, skirt and trousers in 3 different sizes 🙄. Surely there are standard measurements to adhere to when making clothes 🤷‍♀️ That is why it is important to try on the clothes if you can. Depending on where the clothes are made, the sizes can vary in the way they fit.
