    Isn't it amazing how this 10 year old boy, unarmed, non-violent, weighing about 75 pounds, was arrested more harshly than the white murderer of the day.https://twitter.com/MorningExp/status/1021716085572349957 …

        They saw a 25 year old 300 pound linebacker with fangs and 666 tattooed on his forehead, holding a big sign saying kill all white people. Seriously, that is the othering at work. They see us as bigger, older, more threatening, not like their own children.

        Amen 🙏🏾 I was going to say the same thing in principle. It’s so damn true!!!!They don’t see our children as children. This would never happen in the burbs. They would show those kids compassion and comfort them! And if it did happen it would be WW III!!!!

        Police continue to treat People of Color as if they are escaped slaves and their Master’s property, not their family’s precious children, and not human. #BlackLivesMatter They are Our Children. All of Our Children Lives are Sacred💖

        He wasn't arrested So technically, isn't it amazing how this 10yo, unarmed, non-violent boy weighing about 75 lbs was *restrained for talking to his dad* more harshly than the white murderer who stabbed two black sisters, killing one?

        Agreed. I saw the bodycam footage and the kid lunged directly at the officer. They put him down, calmed him down, let him go and even let him say goodbye to his father and take his phone. He wasn’t arrested or cuffed. I think this was handled appropriately.

        People make excuses for these undisciplined ass kids then turn around & ask whats wrong with the youth. Ahhhh They lack fucking respect for authority they lack respect for adults. As a matter of fact they run adults. Exactly why his family couldn't get him to stop

        The only thing is I believe this child was on the autism spectrum and was really freaking out. The adults there should have gotten him in the house, but they were too focused on watching the scene than the child.

        Ok I hear you but they couldn't control him. If he's 15 we are probably talking that kid being shot by those same cops autistic or not somebody has to have control of the kid

        Truth... he had pushed the cop into the car and the cop had grabbed him and picked him up into the air. The kid was kicking him and the car and that is when the cop brought him to the ground. I think if it had been a white kid and he came at him it would have been the same.
