Battle Creek, MI Nov. 16, 2013.
An officer shoots a 14-year-old boy outside of a Michigan party store.

Police were called to the store after reports of a man carrying a gun.

The dashcam shows some people approaching the police car once the officer arrives, and hear him say "let me see your hands."

After the command was given, shots were fired and the teenagers ran away.

What the police officer didn't know was the teen was carrying an airsoft gun, which is a replica firearm that fires pellets.

The officer shot the teen in the shoulder.

Prosecutors have cleared the officer of any wrong doing, but the victim's family is still planning a lawsuit.

If he REALLY thought it was a REAL AK47, why would he drive RIGHT up to them where he would be turned into swiss cheese versus a distance away and yell commends? Trigger happy much?

Did he shoot while they were putting their hands up? Wish I could see the guy who got hit so I can see what he did or how he reacted.

Well, it is understandable every cop will react the same way if they see the gun. Gun is a gun and that smart azz desided that it is a good idea to carry it around
