Frisco police chief apologizes after officers pull over Arkansas family at gunpoint

Police said the incident was a mistake.

Felony stop for an idiot mistake. Why didn't she verify the information before acting. This level of incompetence would not be tolerated at McDonald's.

I guess this city’s taxpayers are going to be on the hook for a big settlement payment. It should be paid out from the police department’s budget.

[josephcraggett]

I smell a successful lawsuit brewing...and a fired officer...that mistake could've been fatal, there must be consequences...

Did they really have to put a 6th grader in cuffs?

[Crais]

Can the rest of us get away with a “My bad, ” and move on as if nothing happened?
I think not

[MHEISMAN]

R and Z and not even close to each other on a keyboard. This officer needs to be disciplined.

[justchrystal]

PLEASE FILE A LAWSUIT IMMEDIATELY. HOLD EVERY OFFICER ON SCENE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS PLEASE

So why did they run the plates in the first place? This sounds like profiling to me

[Extrzooa]

This happened to my mom in 2012 with all my siblings in the car and they realized it was the wrong car and just left no apology 😭

[sunnymagneti]

So you saw an out of state plate, a dodge charger, and ran the plates. Why? Why did you run the plates? Are we really just running plates whenever it's someone from a nearby stare? This could have been a tragedy, but the passengers are still left with the trauma of a gun in their face.

To all cops: As long as you fear integrity and accountability, you are NOT the good guys! End qualified immunity! Make each officer personally liable! Take settlements from the police union pension fund! You want your respect back? THEN EARN OUR TRUST BACK! It's BS like this that proves why NONE of you deserve ANYTHING!

[younganita]

Frisco PD is owning up to this mistake for one reason - look at the cop. I’ve never known Frisco PD to own up to any mistakes with black youth!

[mikeaskme]

Those kids will never be the same, earning that hate and mistrust. Incompetence like this would never be tolerated like this in any other job, not one

[DR.InkBlack]

Praying for this family and thanking God that no ones life was taken

[jackjohnson]

Why is no one talking about the fact that they ran their plates without justification?

[cessnaident]

If the officers are truly sorry; they would resign in disgrace and forfeit their savings and pension to the family they wronged. But the union will defend them and probably harass the family to ensure no lawsuits are brought forward.

[anonymouslee]

Fire her!!!... Her mistake could've cost a life!!!.

[elysam]

Jesus..thank you so much for keeping this incident from resulting in these people getting killed. Its terrifying just watching so I can imagine what they were feeling.
Wow...🤦🏽😞

Why was the tag run in the first place? Without a probable cause, the tag should never have been run. If it was an automated tag reader, this event would never have happened. But it was a black man in a blacked-out Dodge Charger who drew the attention of a Frisco police officer. Why? Regardless of the complexion of the cop that called that tag in, we all know what triggered the start of this event on July 23rd alongside that roadway.

The generational effects of this agressive behavior has doesn't just effect this child. Millions will watch this or hear about this. The one hope here is this department admitted wrong doing, and the chief made a public apology. This is so rare i cant help but believe there is hope for this department.
