From Clutch Magazine:
Kametra Barbour is still trying to process why police pulled her over and mistook her for a call they received about a motorist waving a gun out their window. Barbour’s car had 4 children in it, at the time she was pulled over in Forney, Texas.
“Makes me angry all over again,” Barbour said after watching the video. Police allege they received a call about a motorist speeding down the highway waving a gun. The car was described as a beige or tan colored Toyota with 4 black men in it.
But that wasn’t Barbour’s car.
“I drive a Nissan Maxima that is burgundy red,” Barbour said.
But after the suspect car sped far down the road, the 911 caller was now far back and thought the suspect was exiting the highway. And that was the very exit where Kametra Barbour’s car was.
“The complainant that called in said that vehicle took that exit,” said Forney Police Detective Michael Clay.
The video shows Barbour get out of the car, then the officers tell her to walk backwards to them with her hands up.
The transcript from the video is so sad. The kids are so scared, they ask, “Are we going to jail.” Read it at Clutch.
