"Why they shot the black boy and not the fat boy?"

If you shot at a person that you thought had a gun but turned out to only be a toy truck and also at the same time missed and hit someone else, would that be a criminal act?

Not necessarily. If it turns out to be obvious that the object was a toy then the cop could be charged with something as his actions would be either negligent or reckless. But if it turns out that there was reason to believe the object could have been mistaken for a real gun then I don't think you would meet the standard for a crime. Hitting someone by accident is for the most part irrelevant as to whether it was a crime. I think it is enough to review whether this guy should still be a cop though.
