Rich kid wants to be gangster. And he drives to his mom. That's a story to tell in prison.

So it was a rental car and rental company didn't pay their bills. Nice to have cops pulling guns out for no reason.

This is incorrect, the whole post is wrong.

That is a rental car that the rental company failed to make payments on and was set for repo.

The child was not driving the car, his father was.

Yeah, I can't say I wouldn't have a similar reaction due to the assault rifles and other guns being pulled.

edit: https://signalscv.com/2020/12/three-detained-for-reported-stolen-vehicle-mother-interferes/ another article cites son was held for weapons charges. I haven't found any sources I would deem credible (including the one I posted) If anyone finds anything else I will add them, except for the one TMZ article which is absolutely dogging the mom and seems unrelated to the situation outisde and focused on 'karen-ing' the mom.

Personally the lack of information makes me wonder if this situation wasn't settled and then buried. Allegedly this incident is 4 years old now.

I understand why she was upset as well but if the car was listed as stolen then the cops are gonna treat it as a stolen car. The mom could've tried to explain the situation instead of telling her son to resist potentially causing a violent outcome. She didn't really set a good example.

Do you think that amount of cops and guns are necessary for a stolen car? I’ve had my car stolen a few times, I’ve been the literal victim and I would agree that this is overblown, even if they did this, to the ppl that stole my car. The cops should be the ones responsible for setting a good example.

Only one gun was drawn, the pistol held by the cop on the left, the other gun looked like a less than lethal 40mm or bean bag gun and the cop off in the distance was holding a bright orange less than lethal also. Again, if cops are stopping a reported stolen vehicle with multiple suspects inside, then yeah, it was an appropriate response. While these folks happened to be innocent people caught in the middle of someone else's bullshit, the cops had no way of knowing this at the time.

Sorry, no. I count 4 cops cars that’s ridiculous for a stolen car. It’s not even a stolen car they know to be occupied by a known dangerous person or armed person.

Exactly, you proved my point, they don't know who is in that "stolen" vehicle. 4 cops out with 5 people is not unreasonable, but I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I didn’t prove anything you said. Every single time a cop pulls someone over for breaking a law, they have no clue who is really in that car. Do you believe that this is how they should pull ppl over, too? Probably not, because that is ridiculous.

A felony traffic stop on a reported stolen vehicle is way different than pulling over someone for speeding.
