Yeah, because a red vehicle matches the description of a beige/tan colored vehicle. They were looking for 1 color only. Watch the video.
FORNEY, TX --
Shocking new dash cam video shows a young mother being pulled over at gun point by police in Forney, Texas, all while her four little kids were in the car. Police admit they made a mistake but are refusing to apologize.
Kametra Barbour says she was driving four children under the age of 10 home when she was suddenly stopped and surrounded by police. Barbour was told to exit the vehicle with her hands above her head. Police then shackled them in cuffs right in front of her children.
Officer: "We got a complaint of a vehicle matching your description and your license plate, waving a gun out the window."
The traffic stop was in response to a 911 caller who had told dispatch four black men were waiving a gun out the window of a beige- or tan-colored Toyota.
The problem: Barbour's car is a burgundy red Nissan Maxima.
