If the cop was "scared" of getting shot, wait until he tries to sleep at night for the next 10 to 15 years. He just shot a child with a toy gun. That's scary.
imo common sense says you wait to hear a gunshot in this situation. I think we can assume that they were behind their cars for protection, wearing vests, and that any other children were cleared away at this point. If I'm a cop, and it's a child on a playground, I'm not shooting until I hear real gunshots.
