Officials in Frisco, Texas, have opened an investigation and apologized after police pulled their guns on a Black family over a mistaken license plate.
. The driver tells police the other two passengers are her husband and a nephew. Between two videos shared by the department, the mother and father can both be heard multiple times telling officers that the family had been on the way to a basketball tournament and were confused by the situation.
A police sergeant arrives and, a little over 15 minutes after the stop began, informs the officer who entered the license plate that she had made an error. Officers on the scene apologize repeatedly in the footage, saying in part: “We’re so sorry that happened like this. We had no intent on doing this, you know?” another officer tells the family. “We’re humans as well and we make mistakes.”
