I think basically the police took the caller at his word - and I guess he was factual - a man was waving around a gun
even though I'm sure it was an orange tipped gun
What bothers me is that the police enter the store - and the situation wasn't customers hiding behind dog food or running for the exits, people were just shopping and going about their business while this guy was playing war or whatever with a toy rifle, talking on his cell phone
That said, if you see a policeman point a gun at you, whether you did anything wrong or not, then is not the time to test the police restraint.
It appears they came upon the guy at an aisle end cap and the policeman determined he had on a couple of seconds to make a decision of whether this man was a threat to his life or not.
Why it came down to that , to me, is the real issue of all this.
