    Grand Rapids police swarm and point their guns at 5 little black boys
    INFURIATING. These young boys, who are just 12 years old, had just left a local rec center playing ball. Police claimed they thought they were armed. THEY WEREN'T. This scars kids for life.

        'Fit the description' only because the kids were black & young. Shameful.

        Crying we're gonna die. Someone pointing a gun at you telling you to calm down and relax is not comforting. 😢

        That guy falsely accused them at the beginning of this video, he needs to be arrested. No innocent child should experience that.
