A Texas police department says it's reviewing errors made by its officers who stopped what they mistakenly suspected was a stolen car and held an innocent Black family at gunpoint
FRISCO, Texas — — A Texas police department is apologizing after officers pulled over what they wrongly suspected was a stolen car and then held an innocent Black family at gunpoint.
Police order one of the children to step out and lift his shirt. The driver's husband and the other child are told to stay inside and raise their hands through the open windows. “Normally, when we see things like this, it makes us believe the vehicle was stolen,” the officer tells the crying woman on the body-camera video.
“Occupants of the car, leave your hands outside the car. We know there is a gun in there,” one of the officers holding a handgun shouts at the passengers. “If you reach in that car, you may get shot.”he thinks the family was profiled, adding that he believes police violated the family's constitutional rights.
