"Colorado City Settles for $1.9M with Black Family Detained at Gunpoint by Police"

The city of Aurora, Colorado, has reached a $1.9 million settlement with a Black woman, Brittney Gilliam, who was mistakenly removed from her car at gunpoint with her family by police officers who thought she had stolen her vehicle. The incident, which occurred during a "Sunday Funday" outing, led to a civil rights lawsuit alleging racial profiling and excessive use of force. The family's attorney hopes the settlement will prompt changes in law enforcement practices, emphasizing the need for common sense and accountability. The traumatic experience resulted in the minors seeking therapy, and the family is satisfied with the settlement, aiming to spare the girls from reliving the ordeal during a trial.
