Ahhh no.
The reason that kid died was.
1) He didn't follow the officers commands.
"Minutes later, two Cleveland Police officers - a rookie and a 10-15 year veteran - arrived at the scene, where they apparently saw Tamir pick up the gun from a table and put it in his waistband.
The rookie then asked the boy to put his hands up, at which point the youngster reached into his waistband and pulled out the pistol"
2) He removed the orange tip, which is against the law, and this incident shows why. Without the orange tip you are carrying a real gun. So that kid had a real gun.
You brandish a real gun and don't follow an officers commands what do you expect to happen?
The officer doesn't have x-ray vision to see if it has BB's or bullets inside. Some of my airsoft guns are no different than my real guns other than the internals. GBB's even have the sound and action of a real gun.
