A Black mother is demanding an apology after Sacramento police officers pulled her and her 8-year-old son over at gunpoint, mistaking the child for a teen wanted for two felonies. Shanice Stewart, who is nine months pregnant, said she was driving her son, Brandon, to football practice around 5 p.m. on Oct. 17 when police officers pulled them over, with more officers later surrounding the car and a helicopter hovering in the sky, according to KCRA.
“You guys wasted tax dollars using a chopper and multiple officers to close the freeway down for me and my 8 year old son,” she continued in the Facebook post. “I’m unsure what to do but I was scared for my baby.” Sacramento Police acknowledged the mistake in a statement to NBC News. A spokesperson said the officers “observed a juvenile who they believed to be the wanted suspect” get into a vehicle with heavily tinted windows.
