Police hold family at gunpoint by mistake

A young family on their way to a basketball tournament were pulled over and held at gunpoint by cops in Texas, after a database mistake wrongly identified their car as stolen. The car, which has an Arkansas license plate, was accidentally put through the Arizona database, leading to a terrifying ordeal for the couple, their son and their nephew. Footage of the encounter has been widely circulated online showing the crying family handcuffed while pleading their innocence. ‘Listen, bro, we’re just here for a basketball tournament,’ says the sobbing dad, while one of the kids can be heard crying in the background. ‘Y’all pulled a gun on my son for no reason!’ he adds. Texas police say they are now investigating the incident. ‘We made a mistake,’ Police Chief David Shilson said in a statement. ‘Our department will not hide from its mistakes. Instead, we will learn from them.’ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
