There has to be accountability on both sides. You can't point fake, toy guns at people. End of discussion. In today's climate, "innocent acts" and fooling around will get you killed by a civilian let alone a cop.

Agreed. Being shot is not a traditional repercussion of brandishing a toy gun in public, but it is certainly a plausible response in some situations. However, even if the kid didn't understand the severity of the potential repercussions, I'm not convinced that we can lay all the blame on the officer when we have the benefit of hindsight in these situations. There is not doubt his death was a tragedy, and those saying he deserved it are fricking ridiculous.
