The Phoenix couple who say police drew guns on them after their 4-year-old allegedly stole a doll are calling for the officers involved to be fired, saying their children are still traumatized by the experience
.
Mayor Kate Gallego issued a public apology but Dravon Ames, who was kicked and handcuffed in the incident, said it hasn't helped the family, and the fact the officers are still working is"just basically a slap in the face." The children are still"terrified, traumatized," Iesha Harper, the mother, said at a press conference Monday. The couple has filed a notice of claim against the city for $10 million, which serves as a precursor to a lawsuit.
