"Unjust Encounter: Sacramento Police Mistake Innocent Mother and Son for Suspects"

A Black mother in Sacramento is demanding an apology after police officers pulled her and her 8-year-old son over at gunpoint, mistaking the child for a teen wanted for two felonies.

The incident has traumatized the young boy, who is now afraid of driving on the highway and hyper aware of police presence. This incident highlights the ongoing issue of racial profiling and police brutality, particularly towards Black individuals, and the lasting trauma it can cause.
