'I thought they were supposed to protect me': 10-year-old Angel Meza recalls the brief moment when he says DPS troopers pointed their guns at him outside his home in South Austin.
Carlos remembers being shocked. He says a trooper then came up to his side of the car with the gun pointed at him.
"I turned to my left because I'm still in my driver's side and I see a gun pointed at me, at my head. I'm like, what are you doing?" he said. Carlos says DPS pulled him over for his lack of paper plates. He says he did not care about anything except his son’s safety. DPS eventually let Angel go inside, but Carlos says he was kept outside for an hour. He says DPS gave him a ticket over the plates and also made him do a sobriety test which he passed.
