Aurora Police Department apologizes after officers draw weapons on Black family

Brittney Gilliam was going to a nail salon Sunday with her 6-year-old daughter, 12-year-old sister and 14- and 17-year-old nieces when police drew their weapons on them. Gilliam said she, her sister and 17-year-old niece were handcuffed while police verified that the car Gilliam was driving was not stolen.


No need to apologize, the family should have just complied and none of this would have happened. Plus, I heard the 6 year old was sent to timeout in kindergarten.

And I know about the sarcasm thingy and contemplated using it, but then figured people on this site are smart enough to realize that this is sarcasm....if people can’t tell that this is sarcasm then something is wrong with them.
