Is this a case of police overdoing it once again? Courtesy of AVIT UK:

I noticed a group of boys filming on an estate in Deptford yesterday for over an hour, before witnessing armed policeman rushing on the estate pointing their guns at them and shouting. If the police had observed the area before making such an entrance they would of seen many residents outside enjoying the hot weather and in the park right next to where the boys were filming. Apparently the police had received three calls that a group of black boys were pointing a gun at man on the floor. None of the residents I spoke to seemed bothered by the filming the boys were doing. The boys had used a wooden gun as a prop. They should of got authorization first, but educate them, don’t run on the estate frightening people and causing a disturbance.
