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.

I'd have to agree, but why are the cops so reluctant to apologize for the misunderstanding.

Did the police have the right to stop all green ford pickups at gun point? Guess you had to be there...I've been drawn down on by cops because of their misjudgement..it's no fun....

Maybe the only reason the case has gone this far is a woman is involved....if it had been the father driving, they would have been taken to jail and the truck towed..

I think 6 minutes is a reasonable time to sort something like this out. It's not like they were put in jail or injured in any way.

How do you get that they matched 90% of the description from this story. The only thing that matched was a green pickup on the same street . The description was for two teen-agers. If a police officer cant tell a grown Mother driving and a 9 year old girl from two teen agers they are incompetent to the point of idiocy. There were 3 people here not two . Kneeling in the dirt while 2 idiots handcuff myself and my kid in front of my 9 year old would thouroughly piss me off. I dont know what the monetary judgement should be but at the very least the two idiot officers should have a letter in their jackets.
