hi so, a family friend of mine, who we are very close to. we support each other, we are sort of like family, very much so.
he was driving one day just like any other day, and police mistook him for a man who apparently was on the run from the law and had done some serious crimes. they thought it was him, and instead of attempting a normal arrest, because this was already a fleeing suspect to them they decided to catch him off guard.
i say this with a heavy heart. they threw tracks down and popped his tires, and then jack knifed his car aka tboned it, and then several officers at this point had him at gun point immediately.
all of it happened so quickly, you know, and then after bringing him back to the station they realized, it's not him.
the police apologized and offered to replace his tires (but not his car, which was totaled).
this is a horrible, thing that has happened and I don't really know how to react. I felt so bad and, want to do something.
