"A former city council member of a New Jersey town and local Republican Party leader allegedly called the police on a 9-year-old Black girl when he saw her catching spotted lanternflies-an invasive species killing trees in the area-while wearing a hoodie, the girl’s mother, Monique Joseph, said at a local board meeting last week.
According to Joseph, Gordon Lawshe-the former council member for Caldwell, New Jersey, who’s also her neighbor-told police, “There’s a little Black woman walking, spraying stuff on the sidewalks and trees. I don’t know what the hell she’s doing, it scares me though.” Joseph’s daughter is, again, 9. The allegation speaks to the widespread crisis of young Black girls being adultified, placing them at greater risk of police violence, sexual violence, and harsher disciplinary action in schools that feeds the school-to-prison pipeline.

“A little black woman.” Wow. That baby doesn’t even look 9, she’s looks even younger.
She looks like a perfectly adorable little girl and it sickens me that innocent children get exposed to such hatred.
@@Tessmage_Tessera Exactly. I wholeheartedly agree with you. I was just emphasizing the fact that bigots often see Black people as being these subhuman beings. We are inherently violent and we are rarely seen as children, no matter our age, in their eyes.
@@jwalt8019 On top of that, whenever public schools want to talk about how the United States was discovered and built on historical accuracy, the illogical terms of cancel culture and censorship doesn't seem so bad.
Why he couldn't go outside and ask her what she is doing? He would see its the neigbor kid. Its not like she chopping down the tree with an axe, she had i spray bottle. But you call the police? Scared of a child! You got to be serious.
Haha little Black Women wearing a hoodie spraying stuff on the trees 🌳 🤣 How is that racist? When you call the police and are describing a victim, you need to provide as must information as possible, including but not limited to; height, color of skin, clothes ect...
This is not Rascist at all. Everyone who is crying for the girl should be ashamed. Grow up already, quit looking at everything with a racist view point. The little girl is not even traumatized, she is having a good time eating her candy.
Imagine living in fear of a child.
He wasn't afraid of the little girl ,he just knew which racist dog whistle to blow‼️
What is he a mouse. We know he lied.
The fear is that black and brown people will have power and the majority and that they will treat and do to them what they did and continue to do to black and brown people. That’s their fear.,That black people will be as evil and ungodly as they are.
Living in hatred of a child, not sure about fear
teenagers arent children
Just for perspective: as a 9 year old "little white man" I walked around my neighborhood with a hammer and a saw collecting dead branches. One of my neighbors saw me cutting a low hanging branch from a tree in front of their house, walked out, greeted me and asked what I was up to? (in a pleasant, non accusatory tone). I told him I was collecting branches to build a fort. He then opened up his side gate where he had a pile of various size branches and asked if any of them would work for my fort. No cops were called.
There is ABSOLUTELY a difference in how children of color are treated in this country. It's sickening.
It is.. and the truth of the matter is this… unless you are straight out of Africa ( untainted by slavery in America 🇺🇸) more likely than not…. You are a product of your slave master… you are a descendent! I know I am! I am not an African American 🇺🇸 I have several different races in my blood 🩸 line! So .. in conclusion… we are your people..white privileged folks 😳🫣🤔🫢🤭
Bless people like you who aren’t blind to this kind of stuff🙏
That guy should be facing charges for falsely calling police
Agreed. He has damaged her. She is the victim here.
The cops were called only to uck over black people.
I swear, they use the cops like their personal customer service.
Does he know that the cops record every call that is made to them ?
I wouldn't be suprised if they had a list of calls that Carl made
That's because they are.
The police are their personal strike force.
Right. He should have been fined for wasting time reporting falsely or something!
We gotta make them change, to say this doesn’t mean you’re a bad person/citizen! 💯
Anna's final statement is correct. When you see angry Black adults....nine times out of ten, they dealt with this nonsense their whole lives.
Facts!
Angry Black adults come from being raised by neglectful/abusive adults and broken homes. We have areas in only 27% White Baltimore where Blacks virtually never interact with Whites. Yet they are slaughtering each other nonstop. They literally frisk for weapons at Black clubs. (Of course then they kill each other outside).
And the IMMEDIATE and long term NEGATIVE effects that has on someone's... EVERYTHING. Jane Elliot, 3rd graders days after Dr Martin Luther king's murder... look it up. Spend 90min telling a child they're inferior to a peer and they want to lash out, hide, recoil, and forget how to spell words, read or do math as well as they did just 24hrs earlier. Multiply that by a lifetime... 😪😪😪
He said, little black woman in a hoody and she scares him. His words were to cops to come with guns in hand.
Exactly, and he did it on purpose. He should be locked up.
"little black woman", thats very clearly a CHILD.
A guy called the cops on a 9-year old?! Oh...a republican. Okay, I see it.
Absolutely.
Lol, we are not supposed to be afraid of the Police. The Policemen are servants for the community, we pay the police with our taxes. Parents need to teach children to like the policemen, says alot about the parents... The gentleman who called the police had all right too, esp. If he was genuinely concerned about what is going on in the community, no matter what it may be. He didn't know what the little girl was spraying on the tree, and if it was poisonous to the tree it could have caused harm to the tree. It wouldn't matter if it was his tree, his neighbors or on city's property, no tree should be poisoned. The gentleman had a real reason to call the police. Everyone who is siding with the girl and calling the man racist is ignorant and unintelligent. Quit being baised and stop pulling the race card for every possible situation and look at things for how they are, grow up and be mature already.
@@truthonly7777 possibly you are living in a world where there is no police brutality, especially against black people. People in America are not,and the whole world knows it, except, apparently, your good, but seemingly naive, self.

@@truthonly7777 carry on in your little world of "see no evil." I'm wasting time when I should be listening to music.
I hope this doesn’t change her passion for science, environment and community.
I agree 💯. In fact, I would like to send her money so that she can start making and/ selling her bug spray! Wouldn't that be great?
The sad part it will affect her I can almost guarantee that. I'm 41 and I'm still affected by my run-ins with the police. I have never been to jail in my life but my encounters with them are not good. The stories I can tell you about what happened to me as an adolescent and a teenager when dealing with the police are crazy. And I wasn't the type of child that did things I wasn't supposed to. But they would always treat me as if I was an adult even though I have always looked younger than I was. But as an adult, I don't have many problems with them cause I avoid them.
Its going to change the way she sees white people, though.
Her passion may not change but her approach will. I notice that white people are more likely to mistake me as a technician rather a intern pharmacist at work though my badge and white coat clearly marks my position. I’ve even gotten a “you people” from not wanting to sell pharmacy behind the counter stock by a white woman when she could get it from the aisle. I’ve never seen the pharmacist I was working with move that quickly that day, no nonsense allowed.
I thought at first was my age not wanting to jump to race because while I’m in my 20s I look younger than my age, but that’s not it because I get the “I’m happy to see our people as pharmacists” from our older black population and even Latinos funny enough.
I purposely don’t wear scrubs (which is allowed but mandatory for technicians) but business casual clothing under my white coat for this reason.
@@airons1895 Good Luck getting EPA Approval
He should be arrested for calling 911 for a non emergency,
71 yr old creep, tyrant and monster neighbor call cop on 9yrs old. So sad
"A LITTLE BLACK WOMAN"!?! In 4th grade?!?!
What a grotesque 70yr. old fiend!
I feel the terrifying dismay of that childs mother, knowing that even though her little girls in their own backyard, a neighbor would attempt to weaponize police, targeting her children.
Absolutely sickening.
If you confuse a 9-year-old with a woman, would that make him a pedophile?
@@truthonly7777 yo.imagine calling the cops on a girl who has lived her entire life right next to you and calling her an adult and saying you are afraid of her.
You want to see how the girl looks like that he was so afraid of?
She's so small that even though she's 9, at first glance I would assume she's like 6 or 7.
The idea that he saw a "woman" when he was looking at this baby. 😔😔
He wanted to endanger her life😭 that’s what’s so horrible about it. He was preying on a little girl, calling her a WOMAN. Sounds about right.
*preying
That's what these demons do to black people. Try yo bring them to their end
@@totalwater9431 dude what are you talking about.…. Legally blind, do you even know what that means. You sound stupid. I am legally blind. But I wear glasses that correct that and I can see just fine. How are you justifying that an old man is calling the cops on a little kid? Even if you were blinder than blind and you saw just blobs you would know that was a little girl. Good job with your racism backing.

@@truthonly7777 truth only????….. your struggling with life if you think your actually making a point? First, your not speaking truth. Second he called a child a WOMAN…. So truth… is she a child or a woman?? As for growing up? He was hiding in his house from a kid who was someone he new and recognized. The call was made by an immature, white haired, old man. Maybe he could’ve walked out side and gone over to her to ask her what she was doing? Why don’t you think he did that? Do you think he was afraid of her because she was a woman, or black, or was it because she was wearing a hoodie? If your so ignorant to not be able to understand the concept of discrimination. maybe don’t comment:/ It’s a very simple concept.
Parents press charges against him. Police should charge him for false report. Charge him for misuse of city resource.
I live in that area of NJ. I remember when this was reported, the old sh*t bag who called the cops was ENTIRELY dumped on by everyone around here.
That’s super encouraging to hear, actually.
👊👏
Anyone else confused as to why he called a 9 year old a woman? It sounds like he was trying to make them think she was an adult
OBVIOUSLY!
Better for him to **hopefully** cause harm to her the sick FK.
He said, " Studies show that Black Children are assumed to be 4yrs older than their peers especially Black Males". Yes the goal was to make the Police think she was older so when it came out he could say, "I DIDN'T KNOW". TO BE OF COLOR IN AMERICA
Bingo
I’m sickened that the racist man called her a ‘woman’. She doesn’t look a DAMN thing like a woman.
That’s how they see us. They don’t see our kids as innocent.
He called that little black girl a "little black *woman* in a hood"? That's problematic in itself. He definitely did not intend for this to be peaceful engagement with the police and the little girl
That poor baby girl. When are these cops gonna start arresting people for making a false claim, wasting their time and also endangering an innocent person? They should also be charged as a hate crime.
Sweetheart- im all the way with u. And crazy, cus i thought it actually was now.
If im the family, im suing
The guy who called should be charged for wasting police resources. A false report.
He’s the kind of guy who would call the cops on a 4 year old black kid drawing on the sidewalk with chalk.
Why can’t people be held criminally accountable for misuse of 911
it used to happen once upon a time...i believe tickets were issued
She looks so confused on what's happening when she's in court. She really is wondering what she did wrong and the answer is nothing.
71 years old and no wisdom to understand that the situation does NOT warrant a 911 call....Talk about being an old racist fool...Geezzzz
He lived across the street from them! He knew exactly who she was!
It turns out that the 9 year old is more informed and more responsible than the old man. Imagine an old man scared of a 9 year old. This paranoia is an epidemic in some circles.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't scared, pretty sure he knew it was a child not a "little woman", and pretty sure that he didn't add "black wearing a hoodie" for naught.
It's not hard to fear people that you've done wrong for so many centuries. You're surrounded by them. You would think that a 70 year old racist would have changed by now. Only the Lord can change his heart before he dies. You don't want to die with hatred in your heart because if you do you end up in a terrible and horrifying place.
I disagree the cops did not "handle this right." Handling this right would have resulted in an arrest of the neighbor for making a false police report.
When cops are called for no reason, the caller should be fined. Time and resources are wasted.
If you agree with this man you are disgusting. My God...this poor child was doing NOTHING to hurt this man or anyone else! I am OVER THE RACISTS!!!
It never actually happened
yeah. Bigotry is bad, that being said I've heard a lot of bigoted remarks coming from TYT as well, so this all seems extremely hypocritical
@@totalwater9431 He wasn't too blind to notice she was a little girl. He knew who she was and is their neighbor, for God's sake!! She was only protecting the trees from these dangerous invasive moths that are deadly tto and are killing our trees.. please stop covering for these Evil Racists. He was wrong in what he did. End of discussion!!
She was trying to kill an invasive species and a man called the cops on her calling her a woman trying to get her MURDERED!!!! That is disgusting.

@@truthonly7777 I got SAed by a cop as a minor when I had just survived a SA and got pregnant from it and the ripe young age of 11 so don't you dare talk to me about loving cops when there are at least 15 bad cops in my small community who participate in trafficking and other crimes
@Lady Laurus really? What town do you live in if your speaking the truth.
@Lady Laurus If thats true I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not saying all cops are good, some are bad. But in general Policemen are here to protect. If someone breaks into your house and steals, who do you call? The police 🚔 IF you're driving down the road and someone Is following you, stalking you. Who do you call? The Police
@@truthonly7777 I heard it from my friends who were trafficked and paid for by the men who worked in the PD. I do not trust police because the last time they were called they treated me like a criminal after I had been raped and stayed in the hospital room even after being repeatedly asked to leave because I didn't want men in there seeing my vag being swabbed. I bled because I couldn't relax enough for them to get the speculum in because the cops were just ogling my privates.
A little woman...who would think that tiny child was a woman? She doesn't even look nine.
A pedo
He said "a little black woman" he knew what he was doing.

The man who called was trying to get police to harm the child. Clear intent with use of woman, black, scared, hoodie. HE SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR ASSULT OR FALSE CHARGES, WHATEVER. GET HIM OFF THE STREET away from normal, reasonable people.
He described her a woman and said she was wearing a hoodie because he wanted the cops to show up already primed for aggression no matter what they ended up seeing right in front of their faces.
Because asking a child what they're doing and praising them for their dedication is so much harder than calling the police, making a fuss and upsetting the neighbours........
Just the neighbors? More effective to get the local LEOs all wound up
This racist guy said "weird" on what the little girl is doing. Isn't him calling cops on what the little girl doing a more "weird" one?
The New York Times covered Bobbi being honored by Yale yesterday but, curiously, did not mention it was a former elected council member who made the call, simply referring to Gordon Lawshe as "a neighbor". Very strange. This man is the leader of his town's Republican Party so it's exceedingly relevant to note that this supposed leader was the person who made the call rather than the average, non-elected and non-elected citizen.
Wait what?! I had no idea he was an elected council till I read your comment😕

It literally sounds like he was trying to get a nine year old girl hurt or murdered by the cops.
This makes me so disgusted and angry. What a coward! 😡
That man knew exactly what he was doing and the dog whistle code he said was "she's wearing a hoodie".

That *always* includes what they're wearing.

Good point ☝️
It kills me when these ppl try not to acknowledge the racism around them.
My issue with one of the TYT crowd saying that is your all so bigoted yourself
This would be like Trump calling someone out for being racist or obnoxious
Im definitely not defending this idiot, Im just questioning how ignorant TYT and its audience must be not to see the hypocrisy

See in reality there is a high chance of police shooting and killing a blk person innocent or guilty when called upon. So let that fact sink in first. OK so fact number 2 as blk pl we would love to teach our kids that the police are there for protection but in reality that has proven to be false the majority of the time. Your statement blows my mind my guy. Are yo truly that oblivious or is it just the way that you see and want to be things? Called the EPA just a suggestion with the information that I provided. Hell called the fire department.
@Yung Romeo so what are you saying now, don't call the police on people of darker skin because they will get shot?
Ridiculous. White, and Hispanic people get abused, shot at, mistreated all the time when being arrested. You just don't hear about it or even care to look for it. It's not a matter of race but Evil done to people by unjust Policemen.

@@truthonly7777 what is ignorant is knowing that racism exists. Ignorance is not doing research to know that it happens to black more often than including kids whether you want to believe it or not,whether you experienced it or not,whether you are racist or not. Why calm her a little woman and he knew her. Ignorance is making a statement like you did and thinking you are actually making a good point. If you haven't experienced racism you don't have a right to say people siding with the girl is ignorant. You made the statement but it just show how ignorant you are to what goes on in the world. Get out of the bubble in your mind and do research. If you aren't black,make some friends that have when through things. Wake up and really think before you just comment Ignorance while trying to call out someone else's ignorance.

The most horrible thing about the story is that a child who wanted to discover a way to help the world around her, and discovered racism instead!

Kids don’t normally get the police called on them for trying to do something right or God forbid show a sincere interest in an invasive species in the neighborhood they live in.
The ignorance is obvious as well as the sheer nature of his “neighborhood trolling” is glaring specifically at a 9 year old child of color.
Facts speak to the truth rather than bloviating nonsense. 😉
And he called her a little black woman. Yet she is only 9.
This child is an educator's dream. She learned something at school and then applied her learning outside the classroom. So lovely! That man will never dull her sparkle.
When a child that young shows intellectual curiosity and a willingness to help her fellow humans, to have it snuffed out at the age of 9 is an unforgivable sin.
America has been snuffing out Black LIVES since it's inception, time to stop, and we will stop you!

I have twin 9 year old daughters. If some creep called the cops on them for no good reason we would def have a problem.
How do you call the cops on a 9-year-old girl? The man was so terrified of the black skin that he described her as a small black woman. And that, friends, is the America we live in today
The sick part that angered me was that he knew that was a young child but described her with "tirgger words" Black woman, hoodie, She scares me. He knew those were words to heighten the agressiveness of the police. Thank goodness the police handled it right despite his attempts to have harm come to her. Which is clearly what he was trying to do. It's what they all attempt to do, when they use racist "trigger words" when calling the police. He should at least be fined for making a false police call like that.
What happened to her is terrible and yes, he's a racist and I hope his family disown him. But what gets me about this story is, "She's 9 years old and she wrote a paper on these invasive insects." That's amazing.
Yeah that part was pretty cool. :)
Can't this guy be arrested for wasting police time?
And can't this girl be given an award for being so environmentally aware and responsible?
This could have gone horribly wrong
Code words: little black woman
I don’t know what she is doing
She has a hood on
I’m scared
"racism is so integral to America that to speak against racism makes you deemed 'unpatriotic'"
(from someone not me - wish I could remember who - but I'm repeating it bc it's true)
It's so sad how some grown adults automatically react out of fear. No analytical thought, no consideration that he might be mistaken in his initial assumption. How threatening could a little girl be that he didn't go out and respectfully ask her what she was doing? He's probably anti-CRT too. It's so aggravating this s**t keeps going on. THINK, people!
This wasn’t a fear reaction, he was using key words that he knew could cause a violent response from the police.
He was her neighbor. It was hate not fear. This hate is developed and grown from home. If old racists dying would stop this we'd all have the same REAL freedom
It is even more shocking when many white people act fearful when they see black people.
I've had that experience in Utah, white women jogging faster and scrambling when they are near, or grabbing their purse from the shopping cart.
I often smiled.
It is black people who should be the ones afraid of white people. It was white people who kidnapped, enslaved, killed, raped, and mistreated black people. How can the descendants of the villains pretend that the children of the victims are evil?
@hendrsb Do you truly believe this individual is reacting out of fear? No, that evil individual is acting out because he is absolutely miserable inside. Racists don't want anyone to feel happy or to have fun, especially when they can't put their hands in something to muck things up as much as possible. Racists are cold and calculating, with very little going on in their lives but evil. They necessarily go to where other people are to savage them, and then pretend that everyone wants what they have.
Nah, keep the racism. I have no use for it.
@@catofninetales3125 All things being equal, do ANY of us truly know what that individual was thinking? We only know what we were told by the media. That's like someone saying they know Jesus when they clearly were never around a couple of thousand years ago. I don't really know if the guy was acting out of fear. But how do you know he's miserable inside?
Why aren't these people facing consequences for false reporting?
To be fair, in this case the only arguably 'false' part of the statement is calling her a 'woman'. At that point its on the police to understand that nothing wrong is going on.
Because they’re white and cops are their minions
Because the victims are mostly black
@@yevgeniygrechka6431 so, it didn't bother you that he called to cops on his neighbors CHILD?? Wow. Got it.
@@maxjulian3051 I don't like it, but nothing that he said is false.
I never use the word 'racist' without following it up with the word 'coward'.
I live in NJ and there are signs EVERYWHERE to squish them … she’s a hero!! What a disgusting human being!
I bet Lil Wayne, Candace Owens, Larry Elder, Justice Clarence Thomas , Thomas Sewell , and Kanye West could watch this and still tell you "racism doesn't exist" 🤦♂️
A 71-year-old white male glaring out his window at a nine year old black girl so full of hatred that he calls the cops for no reason that's f****** scary
It's a shame that a kid was trying to do something positive and got punished for it.
He now claiming this situation was blown out of proportion….ugh last time I checked actions have consequences old man, and we will not stand for your racism!!
He didn't see her as human.. he even called a tiny 9year old a WOMAN
Dude should've been fined or arrested for false report.
People outright lie about things, to the 911 operators and get away with it.
The only thing he did was claim she was a woman, and at 75 god knows what he can or can’t see.
Unfortunately, nothing can be done.
@@plantbasedanalyst6263 everything and reported.
Ana's extreme reaction brought tears to my eyes. What a sweet child. How can anyone look at this child and not want to hold her close and tell her how special she is?
That’s how Trayvon Martin got killed. Eating skittles while walking with a hoodie on talking on the phone to his girlfriend
That old head generation LOVES to say, “You never see kids outside/kids don’t play outside anymore.” Gordon Lawshe’s ignorance runs deeper than an abyss.
Had he asked her what she was doing, she would probably have been eager and excited to share that info.
He wanted to inflict harm using his “supremacy”
Himbs wuz too skeered uv da widdle gurl... I mean widdle woman.
Given who he is, a right wing bigot, it would have gone way over his head.
@@xelasomar4614 Likely so, unless she had a Fox News hat on. He would not have understood it but he would have treated it as gospel.
This is why the Republicans will lose the younger voters again. As a science teacher I love what she was doing.
Thank you for educating our children. Teachers deserve much more than what they are getting.
@@totalwater9431 he lives on the same street. He was not blind enough to call the cops. Stop making excuses for full blown racist.
@@totalwater9431 okay Mr science teacher you just loudly declared that you are a racist and a bigot. Were you being serious? You're a teacher? A science teacher? Republican?
Nevermind the fact that Gen z id mostly conservative.
@@totalwater9431 that's a lot of words to defend yourself , having sight difficulties myself, and being an immigrant myself i feel this families pain.
You need to listen to what he said. The remarks are racist . Not his eyesight.
It's ironic that actually black people look way younger than they actually are, but in the legal system they always try to treat them like they are older no matter their age, especially a child that they want to try as an adult for any alleged crimes
I'm glad this beautiful Black little girl wasn't physically harmed, but I can imagine what this has done to her mentally and emotionally 😞
Lanternflies and racists, two equally invasive species
😂😂😂
He's a racist piece of sh*t, he knew who she was, she lives across the street from him and they're the only black family on the street, he is the lowest life form he is.
An excellent point!
Sad but true.
He described her as a little woman, she is a little girl a child we know what this is 🤨
And she lives across the street from him so I'm sure he has seen her outside playing before. So he knew that this was a child not a little woman. That's sad.
This idiot knew it was a little girl, he just wanted the police to take him seriously and to respond to his call. I just hope karma get him.
He knew EXACTLY what he was doing when he told 911 it was a WOMAN and not a GIRL. He absolutely knew the response from police would be different had he said it was a girl or kid.
Feel so bad for this little girl who was just trying to do something nice
He meant one thing to happen, he thought the cops would shoot her.
Yup
That’s exactly what he wanted to happen.
Little Black woman… with a hoodie! With a spray bottle. Oh so scary!😢
He knew damn well she wasn't a woman. He called her a woman to take away her innocence. It's bad enough to do this to anyone but for a grown man to do this to a 9 year old child is even more infuriating. That man seems like a predator and he should be penalized for wasting the cops time.
Just another example of a self-righteous citizen using the police as a weapon. This is America.
Self-righteous and ignorant!
I’ll never understand black ppl being mistaken for older when we look younger when we are older.
Yt people age like milk and it bothers them.
It's fear. Stupid, irrational fear
Well alot of times you will see a 14 year old who looks 19 and he will stay looking 19 til he is 19 then will look 35 for 20 more years then look 40 for 40 uears
@@angeladansie4378 It what happens when someone have right-wing propaganda news playing 24hrs a day. Anyone that's not a white blue eye Christian male is the enemy.
who t/f has time to stare out a window and wonder what children are doing with trees?!
obviously that sicko. he must have time in his life
He wasn't afraid of her, he just used trigger words to excite the police. He is a monster there is a place in hell for people like him.
It is amazing that a grown man could be scared by a little girl. If he didn't know what she was doing why didn't he ask her.
have we examined the possibility that the old man was in fact a lantern fly.
Lol😂
A racist lantern fly.
The man should have been charged for wasting police time
They need to start charging a fine for wasting police time for things like this.
I thought 💭 they did…😏
@@lovettewilliams4114 I'm pretty sure it's called KAREN. I'm not joking or fogging you off.
Somebody better check that dude’s computer. His ability to differentiate between women and little girls is apparently non existent.
Imagine being afraid of a 9 year old that's barely taller than a podium?
A true male karen, not surprisingly a racist republican.
The 911 recording was ridiculous. He said he was “scared”.
Someone needs to put his picture up so everyone can know EXACTLY who he is when they see him outside
Idk old man, why don't you go outside and ask what a little girl is doing before you go and call police. Some wounds leave no marks externally.
How come no one is talking about how he called her a black woman to make her look like an adult to the cops when she’s just a child.
Ana made that very point during her report.
Did the cops handle it well? Did they go immediately arrest this POS neighbor for OBVIOUSLY lying to police and fabricating a police call? Was he charged with harassing the kid?
Well I suppose that wasn't the part he was referring to. They handled responding to the girl "well".
of course not.
He’s trying to get the little girl killed.
