    NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Authorities in North Miami Beach say a man carrying what was later determined to be a toy rifle was shot and killed by police.

    The incident began Wednesday afternoon when officers responded to calls about a man seen walking around with a rifle.

    North Miami Beach police spokesman Sgt. Warren Hardison says there was an encounter with the man and officers and shots were fired. The man was flown to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Police did not immediately release the man's name.

    No one else was injured in the shooting.

    Shortly after 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, officers responded to the area of NE 14th Ave. and 154th Street, where several people reported seeing a man wandering the street with a rifle.

    Marie Belizaire said she was inside her car when she spotted the man.

    "I noticed this individual with a big rifle in his hand," she said.

    Belizaire said several other cars slowed down on NE 14th Avenue when they saw him.

    "All of us were swerving and ducking because we didn't know what was his next move," she said.

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    Thanks for link, Pete. Check out first comment:
    The man shot and killed was my uncle Ernest Vasalle( our family called him ken), he was mentally challenge. He was walking around the neighborhood and must of found a toy gun. People driving by saw him with the toy gun thinking it was real and call 911. Police came and instead of trying to disarm him they shot him 3 times in the chest and murdered my uncle! He was like a child, he wouldn't hurt a fly! I'M SO FN MAD RIGHT NOW! There is no such thing as justice. Justice killed an innocent man! I love you Ken and I won't let you die in vain... I promise that!

    The bias in the article is ridiculous. How many ways can one write about the situation without saying the police killed him? I've made some simple correction bellow. Bold is my addition. Strike-through is what I removed.

    A rifle toy carried by a man shot and killed by North Miami Beach police Wednesday afternoon was determined to be a toy harmless, NMBPD spokesman Sgt. Warren Hardison said.

    The man, who has yet to be identified, was the subject of multiple erroneous 911 calls that reported him walking south on Northeast 14th Avenue near 153rd Terrace and carrying a rifle.

    One caller mistakenly reported the man had pointed the a rifle at a dog. [Krugerrand asks: since when did cops care about dogs?]

    Hardison said several NMBPD units responded to the scene.

    "[They] saw the man with the rifle toy," said Hardison. "There was an encounter between the gentleman and police. Shots were fired, and as a result the man with the rifle has died The police shot and killed the man."

    The weapon toy was recovered on scene, Hardison said, and later determined to be a toy harmless.

    Neighbors called cops? To prevent a shooting?

    Hmmm... They they have something to think about when they lay down at night.

    Gulag Chief:
    "Article 58-1a, twenty five years... What did you get it for?"
    Gulag Prisoner: "For nothing at all."
    Gulag Chief: "You're lying... The sentence for nothing at all is 10 years"

    We're all on way to jail or the morgue.

    This is just the start.

    When it accelerates and goes really bad, we'll wish for stories like this.

    Because this is where current trends are taking us:

    Yea but at least the citizens of the USA have more firearms and ammunition per capita than any other nation.

    This fact alone helps us to avoid the fate you describe.
