Without dragging this whole thing out more, OP was a bit over reacting. These days, when I think of calling the police I have to assume that they are hauling someone off to jail or cutting a ticket. Airsoft in the park, until it turns dangerous for participants or non participants, seems like clean fun. There is a WHOLE lot worse things a 14 year old could be doing. Plus, the kid came to apologize and received what appeared to be a tongue lashing? Frankly, I would be impressed that a 14 year old had the manners to do such a thing! Kids will be kids and I feel its important to look at it in that context. Telling them politely to stop shooting in your direction or away from your kids....fair enough. Threatening cops who might be bent on taking these kids to juvie or sending them to court for a ticket that kid can't pay? Seems a bit harsh. I know its hard in the moment, but a simple "hey, could you please..." is often a better solution than "i'm calling the cops". Just my feelings on the matter on the original issue. Hope the rest of your day off was more pleasant!
