Body camera footage shows Black family held at gunpoint after police typo IDs car as stolen

Texas police held a Black family at gunpoint last week after a typo lead police to wrongly believe their car was stolen.

Texas police held a Black family at gunpoint earlier this month after a typo lead police to wrongly believe their car was stolen. During the incident, an officer admitted to identifying the family's license as being from Arizona, rather than their home state of Arkansas.

The incident, which unfolded on July 23 in Frisco, Texas, was captured on multiple officers' body cameras. The emotional footage, released Saturday, shows several members of the Frisco Police Department demanding the family — who identified themselves as husband, wife, their son and nephew — exit the car. They identified the boys as 12 and 13 years old.

An officer also pointed his gun at at least one of the children and handcuffed him, according to the footage.

So I ran it ‘AZ’ for Arizona instead of ‘AR,’ and that’s what happened,” she says, according to the footage.

Later, the husband becomes emotional and says: “It could’ve went all wrong for us though.”
