i dont know, there are certainly two sides to every story. I think what concerns me is that the report was for a beige toyota SUV and they step a maroon nissan maxima. Reminds me of the LA shootings where they were looking for a gray nissan titan and shoot up a random neon blue toyota tacoma. it's like dont you have to deal with identifying cars all day? shouldnt you be an expert at telling the different in a car or an SUV at least?
You can hear in the video when they realize it's not the right vehicle, the LEOs are doing their best to comfort the kids. they have real concern and empathy in their voice.
Well, what would be the other side of the story knowing what was told to 911 and then to the cops.
Who go on to tell a bald face lie:
Officer: “We got a complaint of a vehicle matching your description and your license plate, waving a gun out the window.”
To justify the stop.
Employing cops who are not able to differentiate colors, or classes of vehicles, is the least of that cop shops problems.
I really like the exchange regarding the kids.
Officer 1: “Do they look young to you?"
Officer 2: “They do to me.”
Officer 1: “Huh?”
Officer 2: “They do to me.”
Officer 1: “Yep, they’re young.”
Officer 1: [To other officers] “Gun down, gun down, gun down.”
Officer 1: [As the child exits the vehicle] “Come on back here, son. Come on back here, you’re alright.”
Not really, he just got a gun pointed at his mom/godmother.
Within moments, the officers are trying to calm the children’s nerves.
Good luck.
Officer: "Y’all okay?
Child: “I’m scared."
Officer: “It’s okay."
Child: "Are we going to jail?”
Officer: “No. No one is going to jail.”
Child: [Scream, crying]
Officer: “Hey, stop crying. It’s okay. It’s okay. Everything’s fine now.”
Trick question? Careful kids, ya'll just might be hauled off to jail if ya'll don't calm down.
And cops wonder why some folks will not trust any cop.
