ABC Entertainment News Two people are suing the Hammond, Indiana, police after claiming video shows a routine traffic stop turning "highly aggressive" with officers shattering a car window and using a stun gun on a passenger. During a news conference with lawyer Dana Kurtz today, Lisa Mahone and Jamal Jones said their "civil rights [were] just thrown out the window." "I'm really in a state of shock," said Mahone, who had been traveling to the hospital to see her dying mother when she was pulled over. "It felt like I was just like, it felt like, it felt like it was nothing but gangbangers around me." Her mother has since died. According to court documents, Mahone said she was pulled over by police Sept. 24 for not wearing her seatbelt. Inside the car was Jones in the passenger seat and Mahone's children -- Joseph Ivy, 14, and JaNiya Ivy, 7 -- in the back seat. Joseph Ivy captured the incident on his cellphone as Mahone talked to 911 dispatch. More Here:
