And if he was just pointing it around indiscriminately at trees or whatever, I'm still not gonna rip them for that. How were they to know that:

A) It wasn't an actual rifle?
B) He's not some certifiably insane man who's hallucinating/trying to decide what to shoot/etc?
That's how I see it. The opposite side of the coin goes like this... it is a real gun and 10 minutes after the witness reports the man with a gun, the gunman goes on a shooting spree inside the hospital killing 20 people. Then everyone would be like WTF?! Law enforcement was advised of the situation 10 minutes prior and did nothing? Cops are worthless.
