Air Force Apologizes to Family after Traffic Stop
the initial report was that the van was cruising the parking lot and looking at all the cars in a suspicious manner. It turns out the family was looking at all of the out-of-state license plates. When the MPs ran the license plate after the initial report, it came up as stolen.
The police response, given that information, was appropriate.
Okay. Fine. Seems reasonable. But it doesn’t make my comment at the time, wrong.
Guns drawn and slapping handcuffs on them was "appropriate"? I don't think so.

I know. They are literally dozens on gangs out there stealing autos, the gangs consisting of grandma, ma, and the grandkids.
I sure hope they cuffed the kids. They’re the brains of the outfit.
I have a sneaking suspicion that they plate they ran that came up stolen was slightly different from the plate that was actually on the car.
..The police response, given that information, was appropriate.
No, it wasn’t.
This was a family with kids.
The *appropriate* response is to stop the car maintain distance and call out the driver to step out showing hands.
Pulling guns on women and children? Appropriate?
Mayhaps you want to rethink that statement.
