Legend Preston was left crying and shaking in fear after the Aug. 14 confrontation in Newark.<br />
His angry mother fumes in the video: “A 10-year-old child with guns drawn on him by the Newark police and the best they can tell me is go make a report if I have something to say about it,” the mother fumes in the video.<br />

Patisha Preston wrote on her Facebook page. “They chased down my 10-year-old son with loaded shotguns ready to shoot because they said he matched the description of the over 6 foot tall man, dark skin with long locs&#8230;which my son is none of,”<br />
“They had pictures of the perp whom was in eye sight running down the next block!!! Yet they broke off from chasing the perp to chasing my child.”<br />
Legend was rattled but not physically harmed.<br />
A Newark Police Department spokesman told reporters that responding officers did have their guns drawn but said they never aimed the weapons at Legend.<br />
The thief they were chasing, 20-year-old Casey Joseph Robinson, was ultimately captured and is facing an armed robbery charge, officials said.</p>
