Isn't this exactly why they make the orange tip?

The cops were in the wrong, period.


The gun in question had no orange tip... http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Crosman_MK_177_Tactical_Pneumatic_Air_Rifle_Black/3180

It looks to me like he was at a minimum shooting products inside the store. At 750-800 fps, BB's would be ricocheting wildly. Either pellets or BB's hitting products would probably be pretty loud on top of the discharge of the gun...don't kid yourself...that gun could kill you. Whether or not the cops were in the wrong, I have no idea. I'm sure the grand jury had better information than a news report & the meager video posted...
