Cops claim the mother's rage is to blame for keeping an innocent family and children at gunpoint.

The same department who killed Elijah McClain made the news all over again last year — this point for holding an innocent family at gunpoint and forcing all of them to the bottom due to their own incompetence. Illustrating why law enforcement officials can escape with horrific crimes is that the proven fact that none of the officers in this act of terror are charged — despite blatant acts of terrorism against an innocent family — holding children, ages 6-17 at gunpoint and forcing them to the bottom.

Instead of apologizing or maybe helping the family to know what just happened to them, newly released evidence, which Chicago lawyer Mike Buresh obtained under Colorado’s Criminal Justice Records Act, reveals cops blamed the mother and therefore the horrified onlookers rather than themselves.

This seems to be a continuation of the ruling in January which cleared all the officers involved. Despite the District Attorney’s Office of the 18th Judicial District calling the incident “disturbing,” they decided the officers “acted lawfully.”

“What happened to the innocent occupants is unacceptable and preventable, but that alone is an insufficient basis to affix criminal culpability to the 2 officers involved within the initial contact,” Clinton McKinzie, the chief deputy prosecutor within the 18th Judicial District, wrote during a letter explaining the choice, the Denver Post reported.

Sadly, this may likely be the identical decision whether or not the cops had killed a toddler.

As we reported at the time, Brittany Gilliam was parked in a very nail salon parking zone and was reckoning on her phone to seek out another one since this one was closed. As she scrolled down her phone, Gilliam and her family quickly found themselves surrounded by cops who ordered them out of the car at gunpoint.

Aurora cops accused Gilliam and every one of the kids within the car of stealing that car. But there had been no theft and it absolutely was police negligence that led to babies being held at gunpoint and made to the bottom.

As CBS Denver reports, Aurora police say they conducted a high-risk stop thanks to a suspected stolen vehicle. Gilliam’s car had the identical registration number plate number, but the incorrect state, for the vehicle officers were trying to find. Gilliam says her 12-year-old sister and 17-year-old niece were handcuffed while lying on the asphalt of the automobile parking space. A 14-year-old niece and her 6-year-old daughter were also obeying police commands to put on the bottom.

Police were trying to find a yellow motorcycle with Montana plates and mistook a blue SUV with Colorado plates because of the stolen vehicle.

“He proceeded to handcuff me and that I saw him handcuff the youngsters, so I started getting angry why are you handcuffing kids for,” Gilliam said.

According to the newly released evidence, police blamed Gilliam’s anger because of the reason for further terrorizing the family. Officers Dasko and Moen blame Gilliam for upsetting the kids in their reports.

“Gilliam began screaming and yelling more,” Dasko says in his report, “which made the younger child cry.” Moen concurs that the girls’ spirit was Gilliam’s fault. Gilliam “began to scream and yell to the occupants on the passenger side making them visually upset,” she writes. “The passengers began to scream and cry.”

In other words, the youngsters weren’t fearful of the cops pointing guns in their faces and forcing them to change posture on the pavement, they were scared, in keeping with police, because their mother was angry this was happening to them.

The woman who filmed the encounter says she was shocked further to work out the officers holding young children at gunpoint and forcing them to the bottom and so begin handcuffing them.

“I actually didn’t know what I used to be watching after I first started seeing what was happening. I’d never seen a gun that closes,” said Jenni Wurtz who witnessed the incident and recorded it. “I went from seeing kids in a very car to seeing a gun pointed at the children within the car. I called my husband and said ‘I don’t know what I’m observing,’ and he said ‘Hang up and begin recording.’”

“They were screaming for his or her mom and again, this was all a giant misunderstanding, so in their mind, they’re getting their nails done. it absolutely was all happening so fast and something about it had been like, this can be not right. These kids don't have any idea what's happening,” Wurtz said.

“I’m livid. I’m angry,” said Gilliam. “Those kids aren't OK. They’re never visiting be OK. That was a traumatic experience. Would your kids be OK after that? Having a gun pulled on them and laid on the bottom. Especially a 6-year-old.”

Naturally. because the new report from Reason illustrates, police claimed they did everything by the book and it had been an easy typo that led to their stellar officers traumatizing and terrorizing an innocent family. They were just doing their jobs.

It will be the taxpayers who are held liable now.

As you watch the video below, imagine that this can be your family being forced to the bottom at gunpoint. Imagine that no amount of innocence and obeying the law could prevent it. Next time someone says, “if you don’t break the law, you have got nothing to fret about,” show them this. Then tell them nothing happened to the cops involved.

“When white cops point guns at small Black children, there are not any consequences in America,” David Lane, a lawyer for Gilliam and therefore the girls told the AP.
