The Chicago Police Department is once again at the center public outrage after newly uncovered video shows officers holding children at gunpoint during a botched raid.
The footage is being used as evidence in an investigation into police raids and the dozens of innocent victims who have been traumatized by overzealous cops.
According to a local CBS affiliate CBS 2, in this particular incident, officers not only entered the wrong residence but also interrogated the minors and held them at gunpoint.

“They’re handling heavy artillery,” the mother of the children, Krystal Archie, said of police. “It would’ve taken one slip of your finger and my children would not be here.”
The news station obtained body cam video from the police attack on Archie’s home, and it shows authorities pointing guns directly at the children — see clip above.
The residence was reportedly raided three times – once in February, a second time in April, and once again in May of last year.
