8-year-old boy and his pregnant mom held at gunpoint by police over mistaken identity
An 8-year-old boy and his pregnant mother were pulled over at gunpoint by multiple Sacramento police officers on their way to football practice.
"Shanice Stewart, who is nine months pregnant, and her son Brandon were stopped by police Oct. 17 on the highway, after the officers mistook Brandon for a juvenile with two felony warrants, including one for gun possession, according to Sacramento police. "I noticed that they had guns drawn and they had instructions for me to then toss my keys out of the window,” Stewart told ABC News. "And open the door with my left hand, proceed to get out and put my hands in the air and then walk towards them. I immediately broke down because I didn't know or understand what was going on."
Brandon got out of the vehicle afraid that his mother would be arrested or worse, according to Stewart. He screamed and pleaded for her to come back to the car. The 8-year-old, not realizing the officers thought he was the suspect, approached them frantically explaining that his mother was just taking him to football practice - "I was scared of him getting shot,” Stewart said. "You don't know what to expect, especially when it's multiple officers with their guns drawn towards the car. You just you don't know."
Police told ABC News they first misidentified Brandon through helicopter surveillance, as he and his mother were leaving their home to go to football practice. Brandon matched the description of a suspect - "From a distance, officers observed a juvenile who they believed to be the wanted suspect, enter a vehicle with tinted windows," The next day a captain with the Sacramento police told Stewart the suspect they are looking for is a teenager, according to Stewart. Brandon, a third grader, is about 3’10”, 56 pounds."

The libs are so triggered by a simple mistake.....if you look at the kid, he can easily pass for a teenager or even a young adult, so when the cops saw him, of course they had reason to think they had their suspect. And everyone knows that black children aren't really considered children anymore after they reach the age of 4 or 5..so with this kid being 8 years old, he is basically a grown man -- and before we assume this kid is innocent, what do we know about his past?
Did he have a previous criminal record? What about his school records? Just because he may have been innocent of this doesn't mean he is innocent...most of his ilk, aren't. Good job by the police in practicing restraint and not turning this kid into some kind of victim -- and hopefully this little event will scare this kid straight and keep him out of trouble in the future.
