Just me or a bit too much to call the police on people dressed as a stormtrooper for the 4th may?

Very over the top.

Even if he had evil intent, he's a Stormtrooper, couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!

@Serk: that gave me a good laugh!

Somebody needs to photoshop light sabers to the police's hands.

a gun is a gun in the police officers eyes.

I once as a kid shooting my POP gun was LOUD age 10 tops or so got stopped by a police officer in my 1000 population hometown in say 1980 just hoarsing around in front of my parents house.  It looked like a REAL gun from a distance but when I cocked it and pulled the trigger it made a big POP/BARK.  Am surprised the cop in our one hoarse town did not arrest me?     

I still have that POP gun rifle is all rusted now but still works saw it the other day at my moms house.

You have to remember that most in law enforcement are not gun savvy. They may only have a working knowledge of the weapons they personally use. The indoor gun range I go to originally had a smaller 8 bay range dedicated for law enforcement. I was one of the first shooters that they allowed on that range. It was more shot up that the public side. Walls ,ceiling, lighting covers. The safest place to be when cop draws his gun? A different county.
