The police response was way out of proportion, a kid should not spend any time in jail for having a toy that looks like a weapon that he is legally allowed to carry, and also that kid is a grade-A dumbass for using a water pistol designed to look like a real pistol. If he points that at someone, and that someone shoots him, that someone would have a valid self-defense case
