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. <br> <br>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. <br> <br>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.’ <br> <br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br>Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative. <br>Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RTnews <br>Follow us on Telegram: https://t.me/rtnews <br>Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RT_com
