    This happened after officer's confronted the young mother over having an open container of beer on the beach. That is literally her baby being rescued from the melee as police begin beating the life out of her - punching her repeatedly in the face.https://twitter.com/HewittLexy/status/1000511462425681921 …

        There is a message in this whole ordeal. Let’s not forget what this girl said at the end of the video. “I’m not one of these little f**king ni**ers out her...

        No say it! This shows that folks know it’s happening & say/do nothing. Now that it’s happening to her, she cry’s out this? Eventually it will happen to you... I don’t want to down play what happened to her but I know she will be fine. I’m looking for the conversation to be had..

        Anger management is a real issue that needs to be addressed with many cops who go way overboard way too quickly in their interactions with the public.

        People who are not good at managing anger have NO BUSINESS being in law enforcement, I don't care how much "anger management" training they have.

        I have never been a fan of wildwood. I suggest tourists avoid this town at all costs.

        It's not about the town/location, it's about the police taking the situation to the "next level" unnecessarily. This is happening everywhere.

        I agree. But wildwood has a history. There are better destinations.

        Yes, definitely not Ocean City which is "alcohol free" and more "family friendly". Wildwood is more of a party. Still, this can happen at any shore town, and shouldn't.

        “The life beat out of her” this is a horrible situation it don’t make it way worse than it already is. She got hit in the back of the head not the face and she did not get the life beat out of her. He hit her 2-3 times. Stop spreading fake news

        While I’m glad you realize it’s a horrible situation, I don’t agree with downplaying what happened. Not only was she repeatedly hit but was also choked. Over an open beer container, a nonviolent act? He isn’t spreading fake news by stating the facts & showing the video.

        What i originally tweeted at was a man said she had “the life beaten out of her” which is false. J@ not downplaying it, he escalated it. I was making sure people knew he wasn’t spreadintje truth. I never said what happened was right. I said how he said it was wrong

        Understood, but you also said the back of her head was hit 2-3 times not her face. Even one hit hard enough to the back of your head can do harm, let alone 2-3. Any damage resulting from injuries she might’ve sustained could actually be serious. But you’re right she’s alive.

        Again. I NEVER said it wouldn’t hurt or be damaging. I’m just saying he lied. Again, horrible situation that never should have happened but he lied about what happened to make it sound worse than it actually was.
