6 harmless objects police have mistaken for guns

Bible, WiFi controller, rolled-up apron, cell phone (frequently), hairbrush, wallet

The article also mentioned a slice of pizza, but it wasn't clear the police saw it; and a sandwich, but that case had not yet been resolved.

And after they shot the 12 y/o, the two talked about it rather than give the shot kid medical assistance. What kind of of cops are they? Could they have saved Tamir after seeing they shot a kid? They didn't care.

And there's the whole thing about tackling his sister.
