Depends on where you live, I guess. I don't see anybody getting shot over this in Europe.

Also really, really helps to be white.

Exactly. It's really disappointing how it would never occur to so many white people how dangerous this would be to play with dark skin.

lol, cops :) they have more important things to do! and there is nothing illegal about running around playing. that's what children do. should we just arrest all children, then?

We're still dealing with the increased militarization of our cops in America stemming from 9/11. Here, if you're an adult and are running around in a city like that and pretending to shoot another person, there's the distinct possibility that a. people are going to report suspicious behavior and b. cops are going to come and tase you, maybe beat you up a bit too (especially if you're not white, unfortunately).

The amount of criminals that were once children is high enough that it might be worth looking into.

Right, but hiding and jumping from behind a wall with a "black device" in your hand might get some cops nervous.

Clearly, sir, you do not live in America.
