What's on the news... "They had their guns drawn on my baby!!! What if they were jumpy and shot him?!??!?!"
They responded correctly according to the 911 call, if there are reports of people with guns roaming the street they HAVE to answer it prepared for oh I don't know, someone with a gun... The kids handled it correctly and complied with the officers. Nothing negative happened, everyone goes on their way.
Instead of this being an "oh my gawd" moment it should actually be a teaching moment. A situation handled correctly by everyone!

That strategy didn't work out too well for Tamir Rice and John Crawford.
