Unusual circumstances to say the least. Innocent family matching about 90% of the description of armed robbers, same color truck, same time, same street. I can imagine she's upset, but based on what the article says, I'd find for the cops.

Unable to confirm that the license plate number on English's truck matched that of the stolen pickup,...

How long between the robbery and the stop. Was there no availabe information on the number or did someone in the police department have a number that didn't get to the arresting officers? Those would be my first questions.

This, in this day and age of 'TASER-suits'.

An armed society is a polite society. Please arm yourself.

I think they are entitled to reimbursement for the cleaning bill after soiling themselves.

The suspects in the armed robbery were identified earlier by a police dispatcher as two teenagers, one tall and bald and the other short with red hair and blue eyes, according to court documents

My question is, did the police know this before they stopped the pickup?

If they did then they should have known as soon as she and her kid got out of the vehicle that they had the wrong people.

If they didn't, or if the description was unclear or in doubt, then they did the right thing and the case should be dismissed.

that the standard for officers to draw their weapons must take into account the severity of the suspected crime, the likelihood that the suspects could pose a threat to officers or other people, and propensity of the suspects to flee...... Or the chances the suspects could kill one of LEO's.

As described the cops didn't do anything wrong.
I don't know if the description of what happened is accurate though.

The police state is right around the corner and coming fast. The police have violated their oath to uphold the Constitution. They are fraudulently naturalized. They need to be deported.

Released in six minutes? Not guilty.

Better she met the police than the robbers.
