Last time I checked,a BB gun won't really penetrate your skin.Unless,we're talking about a pellet gun,which fires pointed tips,whereas,a BB gun fires small balls.
The BB gun in the picture doesn't look like a carved out one, but I may be wrong. I'm not saying cops don't have to assume but I have seen BB guns that look like pistols and the producer of said BB gun should not make it not look like that. You know?
Why use a hand gun when you can take a criminal to the Gun show?

I'm gonna go ahead and apologize in advance for the joke above. It is in bad taste and at best inappropriate and insensitive. Honestly I think it's a combination of adrenaline, training, and exhaustion (mentally and physically); combined with personality traits of individual officers. I think a lot of officers understand that there is a balance between authority and responsibility, but some just look at the authority as power. Those who cannot grasp the concept that they are public civil servants and not public controllers keeping us civil are the ones who you watch out for. None of that makes it excusable, they are just reasons behind it.
A lot of the involved in these killings also seem to be young, they're in their 20s or early 30s. They also seem unaware they're being watched or going to be held accountable for what they did, even with dash cams or body cams.
Worst case scenario, my family is either visiting me at prison, or they're attending my funeral.
The bad guys carve out insides and put real guns inside.
That's why cops gotta assume every weapon pointed at them is lethal.
