"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.

Audit reveals civil rights violations and racial profiling by Sacramento police.

An audit of complaints against Sacramento police officers revealed a 10-year-old girl was handcuffed in her pajamas during a probation search related to a stolen car and firearms investigation. The city’s Office of Public Safety Accountability called for a policy on handcuffing minors. The police chief said there is no circumstance where it’s OK to handcuff a 10-year-old, regardless of race. The audit also found a pattern of Fourth Amendment violations of Sacramento community members, specifically Black and Latino community members, during police-citizen interactions. Recommendations for more “clear” policy changes included developing a policy related to handcuffing minors and receiving continuous education and training on implicit bias.
