A Winnipeg teenager has launched a complaint against the Winnipeg Police Service.

The teen says he was sitting in his vehicle when he says a plainclothes officer yanked open his door and pointed a gun at him.

Jordan David is 17 years old, but admits he gets a lot of looks when he is behind the wheel because he does not look old enough to drive.

"They think I look too young to drive, so they call the police. I guess they think they're doing the right thing," says David.

David says up until now it's just been an annoyance.

He says last Friday he was sitting in a St. James parking lot when suddenly the door of his truck opened and he was starring down the barrel of a gun.

"I saw the gun right in front of me, and I could see down the barrel. It was pointing right at my face," recalls David.

At the time, he was in the truck with his younger sisters and brother.

David says they were all very scared.

"I tried to get out because I thought he was robbing the truck, but then he shut the door," says younger sister Talia David.

It wasn't until the man spoke that Jordan David realized what was happening.

"The gun was pointing at my face and he said Winnipeg Police. Get the 'F' out of the vehicle. Get on the F'ing ground," says David.

David says the officer let him go after checking his license.

"Then he said, you can't be mad at us, look at how you look. Look at you," says David.

David isn't satisfied with that. He's mad about the way he was treated and so is his mother. They are in the process of filing a formal complaint.

"I'd like to know how many other people have gone through the same thing. Maybe there's an even bigger issue than just this one case, because a lot of people don't report things," says David's mother Tammy Snell.

The Winnipeg Police Service says an internal investigation is taking place.

Jordan says, in general, he still trusts police, but he hopes he is not treated that way again.
