TX police draw guns on mother and young children they mistook for gun-waving males
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/08/24/watch-tx-police-draw-guns-on-mother-and-young-children-they-mistook-for-gun-waving-males/Police were responding to a 911 call about a tan-colored Toyota carrying four black males, one of whom was waving a handgun out the window — which is why Kametra Barbour is confused as to why she and her four young children in a burgundy red Nissan Maxima were pulled over.
The dashboard camera shows that officers pulled Barbour over and ordered her to exit her vehicle with her hands behind her head. When she asked what was wrong, one of the officers said, “I’ll tell you in a minute.”
“What is wrong?” Barbour asked. “My kids!” The officer asked how old her children are, and she replied, “They’re six and eight and ten, nine. What are we doing? What is going on? Oh my God, you will terrify my children.”
The officer can be heard responding, “We got a complaint of a vehicle matching your description and your license plate, waving a gun out the window.”
