DHS must be throwing office parties nationwide, as Americans call police to report kids playing the "Assassin" water gun game.

NH police, said the game poses a threat to public safety and has resulted in a rise in suspicious person calls. Neighbors are calling police to report 'suspicious activity'.

DHS's "See Something Say Something" program is out of control, it's created a nation of spies.

"Police departments nationwide have seen the consequences of teenagers sneaking around with water guns..." East Kingston Chief Timothy J. Connell said.

DHS must be thrilled, as schools encourage students to snitch on anyone caught playing "Assassins."

"Hunter College High School is warning seniors it could ban them from prom or graduation — or even snitch to college admission officers — if they're caught playing a popular toy-gun game in or near the school building."

"You should be aware that any students found playing the game within the school or in the immediate vicinity of the building will receive disciplinary consequences" Hunter College High School Principal Tony Fisher said.

In 2015 the dangerous "Assassins" game lasted for two weeks in San Francisco, where anyone could be a target!

The SF Gate reported, the only "safe zones" for participants are the city block in which they work, all public transit, hospitals and government buildings and inside bars (but not restaurants). So if you're walking down the street and someone charges by with a super soaker, you know why.

WikiHow describes how to play "Assassin" using Super Soakers, socks, water balloons etc.

"Commonly used weapons are sharpies, spoons, nerf and water guns, toy swords, cardboard tubes, water balloons, socks, etc."

Let that sink in, people across the country are calling police to report kids with water balloons, super soakers etc.

Another example of government overreaction; school officials suspend a kindergartener for bringing a plastic bubble gun to school!

"They said it was a fake weapon, and that I needed to come get her," said the girl's mother, who didn't want to be identified. "I appreciate that they're trying to keep our kids safe, I really do. But there needs to be some common sense."

Please America, stop living in fear! That kid with a water balloon isn't a SUSPICIOUS PERSON!

It is the police and sheriffs fault for not pressing charges against those calling in and complaining about water pistols, and water balloons. How about a sarcastic response from 911 operators. "You say there are five 12 year old boys with super soaker semi-automatic assault water rifles?" "Did you call me about toy guns that shoot water?" "GET THE HELL OFF THIS PHONE AND QUIT WASTING MY TIME" would be an appropriate response. Or show up, identify who called, arrest them for a false report.

They need two things to do that. A specific law they can charge for and INTENT to falsely report. 99% of these are ignoramus people that really think they were calling the greatest emergency known to sheeple.

Arresting people who call with good intentions but ignorant will result in people being afraid to call police and you will see crime rise. Besides, then Deckard will be an asshole and bitch about how the police are so mean that they now arrest old people for calling the cops.

OMG... So what, the cops were called. Live with it. It wasn't you that had to listen to the ignorant sheep.
