Phoenix police publishes surveillance video of alleged stealing that led to controversial stalemate

Protests are expected on Tuesday for officials to call a "community listening session" in Phoenix fallout of a video of police officers confronted a couple and their two little children. Mobile phone video of May 27 shows police officers cursing and pointing guns Dravon Ames and Iesha Harper, threatening to shoot, after responding to a theft report at the showcase.

The Phoenix Police Department has now released surveillance footage of the alleged stealing that led to the tense confrontation. This seems to corroborate their claims that Ames stole some underwear and that her four-year-old daughter took a doll from a nearby dollar store.

Although the mayor and police chief in Phoenix apologized for the actions of their officers, the family said justice had not been done.

"The police are still working – it's a slap – it's like putting lemon juice on an open wound," Ames said.

"It was very terrifying for me and my kids," added Harper. "I've always told my daughters to depend on the police if anything happened, but she had to realize for themselves that they can not rely on the police."

On Monday, police chief Jeri Williams called the actions of his agents blatant, but denied the family's claim that the theft on display was an accident.

"It's not just a doll, but adults have gone to this store and shop and committed a robbery," Williams said.

The incident once again highlights the relationship between the police and the community here in Phoenix. In February, CBS News asked a Phoenix detective and a sergeant that they thought there was a gap with the public. Detective Melissa Borquez said, "I do not think there is a fault, there may be a little misunderstanding."

Asked about the difference between a misunderstanding and a disconnect, Detective Sgt. Robert Vasquez said: "People who form their own opinions of police officers on the basis of what they heard or what they saw and they place us all in the same little block without really having any experience to judge us. "

Roland Harris says that it is a problem that comes from the department. Phoenix police shot and killed his son Jacob in January on charges of armed robbery. Harris does not believe in the officers' version.

"Many people will be upset because their loved ones are killed by the police and brutalized by the police and nobody does anything," said Harris.

The police union issued a statement suggesting that there had been an eagerness to pass judgment in this case. He urges the public not to jump to conclusions as long as an investigation is not over. After tonight's rally at the community meeting, the family plans to join several other families and communities for more protests tomorrow at a city council meeting to call for justice.
