A FAMILY was left traumatised after armed police burst into their home at night and arrested a 12-year-old boy after he was seen with a TOY gun., was asleep in her living room just after 11pm last Friday when officers with guns and sniffer dogs raided her house.Her son Kai, 12, was arrested and handcuffed at gunpoint, before being put in the back of a police van.
“I told them almost straight away that there were no weapons in the house, only a toy gun belonging to my son but we were shouted at to put our hands above our heads and walk one by one out to the street.The family were led to Goldington Street, which had also been closed off by police during the operation.
A police spokesman said: “As is normal protocol in the circumstances, armed police were alerted and subsequently attended the address in Somers Town at around midnight.
A 6 foot Black kid handling an exact replica hand gun . Why was he handling it at his window at midnight? Practicing for county lines? My 12 year olds have all been in bed at 10pm and 9pm on a school night. Give our police a break im sick of this shit!!!
I heard in an interview mum went to bed and left the boy still up at midnight . Probably not the wisest move to leave a 12 year old child up at that time playing with a mock gun by the window . Any passer by would be easily concerned . No win situation for police !
Were the armed cops Britons of White? Or Britons of Colour?
