The kid is in temporary housing. She doesn't have a home or her own bed to sleep in. This judge went on an ego trip to humiliate this girl who had a legitimate reason to be sleepy, which is not a crime. Stealing bread because your hungry is a crime, falling asleep is not.
Where did a fair trial go? Put the window! No counsel was assigned...this guy made himself judge Judy and executioner without any due process over his stupid mistaken sense of pride. He's not God in that courtroom. He is still subject to the rules of the judiciary system concerning even perceived crimes.. that he acted on emotion purely, he needs to be removed. We must have zero tolerance for this on our authorities...Trump has fed these monsters and Vance is worse. Petition this judge out of office because this is mental illness.

Cant believe he said he was tramatized by this hearing also,trying to play the victim, and then calls her home to offer to "mentor" her and tramatize her more and plays victim a second time because he didnt hear back. NARCASSIST 101, HE SHOULD NOT BE A JUDGE, WE DONT NEED NARCASSIST JUDGES.
He was offended by his own delusion of disrespect. Yet he didnt offer any respect or understanding to her at all. Anybody else remember being a teenager? We were always tired. It feels like he just wanted to have fun at her expense.

This clown should be removed and sent to prison. This girl was on a field trip and not someone before him facing criminal charges. Who does he think he is?
When I was in middle- and high school I had to work jobs after classes to help my parents with rent, which meant I often got no more than 5-6 hours per night, and there were times I fell asleep in public out of pure exhaustion. If I had scratched together enough money for a field trip only for this to happen it would have WRECKED me.
Did the CHILD feel she could say NO? Did the CHILD CONSENT to removing her clothing? How can a MAN demand a CHILD remove her clothes without consent or legal guardian or counsel present? Who monitored this CHILD while she removed her clothes? How depraved that the court and other observers offer meagre consolation that an officer of the court ‘could’ve taught a different lesson’, how about not placating power abusers and this child didn’t need a lesson?! Children sleep at school due to insomnia, domestic violence, hunger - any myriad of reasons. Her mother’s heartbreaking story of homelessness was but one example. Not to mention the fact that this Black male judge flexed his muscle on low hanging fruit, a Black girl, god forbid Trent or Amy fell asleep, or rather he tried this abusive behavior with a connected family, he’d be in prison.
You want to know the nature of someone’s character, give them a bit of power. This “judge” is a tyrant and lacks the emotional discipline to be a judge.
Apparently a fact most of you are forgetting is that there was no court in session. It was a field trip. He could have told her to wait outside until the group finished. He overstepped his bounds by having her handcuffed and detained for no legal reason. Illegal intimidation. Her mother should sue for him violating her civil rights. And for those of you who say he was correct, under what rule of law was he correct? I'll wait. And very weird that now he wants to mentor her. Sounds like a set up for grooming. I wouldn't let him within 10 miles of my daughter.
Judge King had a power trip and needs to be disbarred. He needs to be done for good.🙄 What about disrespect is illegal?🙄 What about an attitude is illegal?🙄 What a clown!
You think you can disrespect and catch an attitude with a judge and not be punished? 😂 That type of entitled mentality is the problem with so many people today, usually young people smh - If you don't know how to conduct yourself around an authoritative figure like a JUDGE then you are bound to end up having one determine your future someday smh.
@@Stressless2023 I get that a judge holds a lot of power in her or his courtroom, but what about some common sense? He's an adult and she is a child. A child BTW who was NOT on trial.

@@Stressless2023 actually yes you can disrespect a judge when they are completely in the wrong. Why do you think this judge is now doing everything in there power to try to soften things? He made a massive mistake completely in the wrong. There was no crime committed which gave him Zero jurisdiction over this child. My wife is an attorney and she also agrees he was way out of line. The family could sue easily and possibly get this judge disbarred. We have a legal system with set laws for a reason. So tyrants like this one can’t walk all over law abiding citizens. Had she broken the law things would be different but she had not. If you let the judicial system walk all over you they will at every turn.
Going out of his way to traumatize the poor girl and then having the nerve to say he hopes he can “mentor” her is just disgusting. He just taught her and her classmates that those in positions of power can and will abuse their authority.
This judge is totally wrong? Talking about scared straight, that child was on a field trip. What he did was pick on a child, an abuse of power is what it is. Nose up in the air, like he smells something, like he thinks he's better than anyone else. He owes that child an apology for putting her on front street like that! He should be suspended for his conduct if not removed, we don't need judges like this hearing anyone's case. He needs to realize he doesn't own the courtroom, he has a seat on a bench and he can be removed!
Good to know! I will never allow my kids to go on a court field trip! Due to unknown situations at home , she may have difficulty getting a good nights sleep.
How about if someone's falling asleep, engage them, ask if everything's ok, ask if maybe she wanted to wait somewhere more quiet if her sleeping is disturbing the trip. He could have found out quickly she doesn't have a home and her sleeplessness is because of issues outside of her control. No, what he did instead is teach her to distrust a judge, which will also apply to other figures of authority related to the law. Falling asleep is not a crime, it's not a disrespect to the system, it's an effect of not having gotten enough sleep. This judge processed her as if she were a criminal, and shows he's not afraid to just make up a crime and charge someone with it because he thinks it's wrong. That's not what a judge should be doing, he should be upholding the laws as written, and he should be protecting not intimidating children with his power. Judge needs to get a couple hundred hours of community service. Instead he offers to mentor the girl, like anyone would aspire to act like the self important jerk that he is.
He can mentor her all-the-way to the bank. Money for her and her family for sure. Best thing that has probably ever happened to her and her family. Television show exposure to come on Dr. Phil.
Yes, apologize for terrifying her by ordering an assault on her person, for humiliating her in front of her schoolmates, for holding himself higher than anyone, for thinking that when he doesn't "like" something, that he can use the staff in his courtroom as his henchmen. I hope that this judge will take a moment, without ego, and find a way to deal with this in a positive and healthy way.
He’s disgusting should be ashamed of himself even after all of this he still has not apologized no matter what he’s talking about. He was wrong so many levels.
You have no idea what her character is to know if you could’ve scared her straight in order to scare someone straight they have to be doing something wrong. What was she doing? Wrong being tired being tired is a crime punishable by time.
He needs to be removed as a judge. He abused his power. He abused her and traumatized all of the students . To make her remove her clothing into jail clothing and place her in handcuffs was meant to intimidate and create fear She is being spoken to as if she’s on trial, as a criminal but yet she has no attorney representing her. this man has lost his mind. Child abuse charges need to be brought against this judge.
Falling asleep isn’t a crime it may be deemed disrespectful in court but who knows why she is tired. He could of had a conversation with her instead of trying to flex his authority.
Some of the comments below this video are truly terrifying. Blanket statements, overgeneralizing, no statement of facts, jumping to conclusions... And people are wondering why we have the highest incarceration rate in the world. Fact one: The teen lives in temporary housing and doesn't have her own bed to sleep in. It's the reason why she was sleepy to begin with. Fact two: The judge stated in an interview that her body language was disrespectful. This is after saying no comment due to "pending litigation" even though there was no litigation and the video was taken down. Then he decided to answer questions anyway so the first excuse was just an excuse. The fact that people cannot clearly see a power trip of an adult over a minor. 100% unethical reaction by a judge who is sworn to be fair and impartial. No wonder this country is going down the toilet.
The judge is completely clueless to the damage he has done to this organization, an organization that was tasked to help kids over the summer. Now has a stain of possibly sending kids to jail. The damage he has done to the girl's spirit and her family. To be singled out for being tired and humiliated in front of her peers. None of what I saw was an actual court function.
How can a JUDGE have such POOR JUDGEMENT? There's a major problem here. This man has people's entire lives in his hands. Imagine being in that situation - even our criminals deserve better. His straight-up FOOLISH offer to mentor her after such a plain display of judgemental incompetence is just further proof that this guy needs to be removed from his position.
The fact that this judge is doubling down on his decision even after the backlash tells me everything I need to know about him. he definitely isn't fit to be on the bench and this will more then likely prevent him from being reelected...smh
I'm from Detroit the Eastside I got caught with a gun when I was young and judge Kenneth king told me I was a menace to society made me seem like the worse person in the world that was 2008 I haven't been in trouble since I heard so many stories about him being unfair
Judge is ego tripping. Judges and police believe they're above the community. He traumatized that child. He should be taken, placed in cuffs locked up for a few days.. Her parents should sue his arrogant azz. That was over the top abuse. Same that our children experience with police.😠
Yeah, I think Judge King should just leave well enough alone…he done screwed up and seeing his face is not going to help “mentor” her, it’s just going to traumatize her further. What the child needs is a restraining order from that mean-ass man. He should never had power over others, he is a BULLY.
This judge should be reprimanded, if not removed. He seems to be dramatizing for the camera, not mentoring. If this were my child, I might feel inclined to sue his butt.
He is absolutely out of his damn mind! LINE and HE NEEDS to be REMOVED FROM THE BENCH!! HE CALLED this 16 YEARS OLD young ladies PAREBTS and OFFERED to be HER MENTOR!!!
That judge is a BULLY!! His actions were definitely inappropriate and unnecessary. Maybe there were circumstances which the young girl was facing, like homelessness or a job at night, which prevents her from getting enough sleep. He needs to apologize to that girl and change his behavior or quit being a judge. His actions were disrespectful and disgusting.
I remember when he went off on the young female defense attorney and seemed to be harsher with her than her male counterpart. I felt that he was on a power trip then, too. There is something not quite right about his character and self aggrandizement.
The judge was obviously asserting his authority for the benefit of himself,, and the courtroom spectators,, especially the young tour group..His tribute to "Scared Straight" combined with the handcuffs and prisoner jumpsuit,, along with indication the young lady would be the guest at the juvenile detention center,, may have reached the threshold for deprivation of rights under color of authority,, and illegal detainment....The girls mother is not having any of this,, retained counsel,, and Judge King may be answering US Code questions in a Federal Court down the road..The Chief Judge in 36 Court is NOT a happy camper over this,, and expressed that to the news media...
This child snd her mother are experiencing homelessness. The child is tired. She is going through enough, and you place more trauma on her. He was not teaching her a lesson. He wanted to embarrass her. He keeps saying has an attitude, but I haven't seen one video of this supposed attitude. This is the same judge who has a history of being this way to black women/girls, specifically those who are dark skin.
What was the actual reason? What was the disrespect she showed? Just falling asleep? This isn't how you scare someone straight. I maybe could understand if there was a history of disrespect, but a 1 time field trip for educational purposes. All he did was make a 15 yo lose faith in the legal system. Then he offers to mentors her. What a joke. He didn't take the time to teach when he had the opportunity, he went straight to punishment. I've heard that the family is currently homeless, and the young lady doesn't have a bed to sleep in. He needs to apologize, and re-evaluate his decision making.
Have you ever tried to stop yourself from falling asleep? It's da*n near impossible. I used to pinch myself when I felt sleep coming on. I remember once I was in a training at work and I caught myself with slop dripping from my mouth after dosing off. It was so embarrassing.
Court is boring and the girl lis 16... Should she have been more respectful? Yeah, but I don't view a kid falling asleep during a boring field trip to be outrageous behavior. Especially since we know nothing about these kid's personal lives and health. She wasn't taking the situation serious because the situation seemed unserious too... Imagine being handcuffed because you fell asleep during a field trip?
I could sort of maybe understand if she was in Court for something she did but on a field trip? Its like a real life Boondocks episode with uncle ruckus as the judge.
It's crazy how all these government officials want to do whatever they want but they never think about what can potentially happen when they abuse their power. The judge is really the one that needs to be made an example of. 💯
So, fk if she might be going through something serious at home. Just threaten her with jail? Smh It doesn't make people better. It gives them time to be bitter and plot revenge.
Christopher Dorner Marvin Heemeyer Timothy McVeigh Any animal that fears for its life while backed into a corner will lash out. When someone's life is ruined by a system that (they perceive) exists solely to hurt them, they will act. Monsters in power create monsters to fight.

He abused her and traumatized all of the students . To make her remove her clothing into jail clothing and place her in handcuffs was meant to intimidate and create fear
She is being spoken to as if she’s on trial, as a criminal but yet she has no attorney representing her.
this man has lost his mind. Child abuse charges need to be brought against this judge.
Falling asleep isn’t a crime it may be deemed disrespectful in court but who knows why she is tired. He could of had a conversation with her instead of trying to flex his authority.
Some of the comments below this video are truly terrifying. Blanket statements, overgeneralizing, no statement of facts, jumping to conclusions... And people are wondering why we have the highest incarceration rate in the world.
Fact one: The teen lives in temporary housing and doesn't have her own bed to sleep in. It's the reason why she was sleepy to begin with.
Fact two: The judge stated in an interview that her body language was disrespectful. This is after saying no comment due to "pending litigation" even though there was no litigation and the video was taken down. Then he decided to answer questions anyway so the first excuse was just an excuse.
The fact that people cannot clearly see a power trip of an adult over a minor. 100% unethical reaction by a judge who is sworn to be fair and impartial. No wonder this country is going down the toilet.
The judge is completely clueless to the damage he has done to this organization, an organization that was tasked to help kids over the summer. Now has a stain of possibly sending kids to jail. The damage he has done to the girl's spirit and her family. To be singled out for being tired and humiliated in front of her peers. None of what I saw was an actual court function.
How can a JUDGE have such POOR JUDGEMENT?
There's a major problem here. This man has people's entire lives in his hands. Imagine being in that situation - even our criminals deserve better.
His straight-up FOOLISH offer to mentor her after such a plain display of judgemental incompetence is just further proof that this guy needs to be removed from his position.
Definitely abusive power sickening
The same way he treated her is the same way he treats his wife and children!!
he better don’t let people catching him lacking
The fact that this judge is doubling down on his decision even after the backlash tells me everything I need to know about him. he definitely isn't fit to be on the bench and this will more then likely prevent him from being reelected...smh
Ridiculous!!
He had all the power and she had none.
And he flexed, on a child.
He needs a time out.
I'm from Detroit the Eastside I got caught with a gun when I was young and judge Kenneth king told me I was a menace to society made me seem like the worse person in the world that was 2008 I haven't been in trouble since I heard so many stories about him being unfair
Judge is ego tripping. Judges and police believe they're above the community. He traumatized that child. He should be taken, placed in cuffs locked up for a few days.. Her parents should sue his arrogant azz. That was over the top abuse. Same that our children experience with police.😠
A tired student is punished for not finding him riveting.
Sound a bit Cringy wanting to Mentor 16 yr girl after showing your power to handcuff and lock her up ? Sound soooo bad
Yeah, I think Judge King should just leave well enough alone…he done screwed up and seeing his face is not going to help “mentor” her, it’s just going to traumatize her further. What the child needs is a restraining order from that mean-ass man. He should never had power over others, he is a BULLY.
This judge should be reprimanded, if not removed. He seems to be dramatizing for the camera, not mentoring. If this were my child, I might feel inclined to sue his butt.
What a coward to abuse his thimble of power.
He is absolutely out of his damn mind! LINE and HE NEEDS to be REMOVED FROM THE BENCH!! HE CALLED this 16 YEARS OLD young ladies PAREBTS and OFFERED to be HER MENTOR!!!
That judge is a BULLY!! His actions were definitely inappropriate and unnecessary. Maybe there were circumstances which the young girl was facing, like homelessness or a job at night, which prevents her from getting enough sleep. He needs to apologize to that girl and change his behavior or quit being a judge. His actions were disrespectful and disgusting.
I remember when he went off on the young female defense attorney and seemed to be harsher with her than her male counterpart. I felt that he was on a power trip then, too. There is something not quite right about his character and self aggrandizement.
How dare you two reporters be laughing while reporting this story. How dare the reporter call the girl’s actions misbehaving.
What a disturbing story. She’s a kid. I don’t trust this judge, he’s on a power trip.
falling asleep is not a crime. false imprisonment is.
that man is an utter disgrace to his profession.
The judge was obviously asserting his authority for the benefit of himself,, and the courtroom spectators,, especially the young tour group..His tribute to "Scared Straight" combined with the handcuffs and prisoner jumpsuit,, along with indication the young lady would be the guest at the juvenile detention center,, may have reached the threshold for deprivation of rights under color of authority,, and illegal detainment....The girls mother is not having any of this,, retained counsel,, and Judge King may be answering US Code questions in a Federal Court down the road..The Chief Judge in 36 Court is NOT a happy camper over this,, and expressed that to the news media...
The girl doesn't even have a bed to sleep in
I like how y'all took parts of him getting mad of her getting disrespectful with him
Hope he doesn't have kids or grandkids. Mentor her? It looks like you abused her.
I hope her parents get an attorney because that was totally uncalled for! That was not the way to teach a child. The judge was on a power trip!
I don't like that judge's attitude. Somebody put him in jail.
This child snd her mother are experiencing homelessness. The child is tired. She is going through enough, and you place more trauma on her. He was not teaching her a lesson. He wanted to embarrass her. He keeps saying has an attitude, but I haven't seen one video of this supposed attitude. This is the same judge who has a history of being this way to black women/girls, specifically those who are dark skin.
What a disgusting and tiny man. Wicked system.
There are so many things wrong with this i dont even know where to start. He needs to be disciplined
What was the actual reason? What was the disrespect she showed? Just falling asleep? This isn't how you scare someone straight. I maybe could understand if there was a history of disrespect, but a 1 time field trip for educational purposes. All he did was make a 15 yo lose faith in the legal system. Then he offers to mentors her. What a joke. He didn't take the time to teach when he had the opportunity, he went straight to punishment. I've heard that the family is currently homeless, and the young lady doesn't have a bed to sleep in. He needs to apologize, and re-evaluate his decision making.
This judge is a disgrace!!!!!
Have you ever tried to stop yourself from falling asleep? It's da*n near impossible. I used to pinch myself when I felt sleep coming on. I remember once I was in a training at work and I caught myself with slop dripping from my mouth after dosing off. It was so embarrassing.
Too harsh! Get her out of the room with a teacher or give her something to do on the corner of the room. Disciplining isn't humiliating!
Shame on him. She's a flipping sleepy child for God's sakes.
Court is boring and the girl lis 16... Should she have been more respectful? Yeah, but I don't view a kid falling asleep during a boring field trip to be outrageous behavior. Especially since we know nothing about these kid's personal lives and health. She wasn't taking the situation serious because the situation seemed unserious too... Imagine being handcuffed because you fell asleep during a field trip?
“I haven’t been disrespected like that in a long time…”. Well….disrespect is coming your way buddy.
A high school student really? A college student I can understand but a kid no. RETIRE YOUR DISHONOR.
I could sort of maybe understand if she was in Court for something she did but on a field trip? Its like a real life Boondocks episode with uncle ruckus as the judge.
It's crazy how all these government officials want to do whatever they want but they never think about what can potentially happen when they abuse their power. The judge is really the one that needs to be made an example of. 💯
So, fk if she might be going through something serious at home. Just threaten her with jail? Smh It doesn't make people better. It gives them time to be bitter and plot revenge.
Everything you said is a fair analysis except for the last part. What do you mean by "plot revenge" ???

I truly question this judges judgment.
Now I want to go back and look at all his cases now
Kenneth King is the pissiest judge in the entirety of the 36th district court whose fragile, but insurmountable ego was damaged by a bored 15-year old on a field trip. Come at me if you'd like to pick on someone your own size. See you in court!
May i say that the part where he is in contact with the girls parents and wishes to "mentor" her (whatever that means in this context) sounds creepy as f*ck?
CORRECTION... SHE WAS 15.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Judge needs to lose his job and never serve as a judge ever again.
This is child abuse. I hope the parents sue the city blind!
@@functionatthejunction nah . Not child abuse . When you come to court act accordingly
@@Queen_Baddie22 She wasnt in an active court,
@@functionatthejunction doesn’t matter . She was there to learn and FAFO
@@Queen_Baddie22 Its certainly does matter. She broke no laws and committed no crimes.
@@Queen_Baddie22 My brother in christ, rage bait used to be believable
I can only imagine how many people have been needlessly penalized by this power hungry fart keg.
Yes unfortunately now because of his comments now it puts in the question the judges judging decisions
They have kegs now?
Was court in session at the time? I believe that would make all the difference in the world.
Uggh look at the scowl on his face.
Oll boy gon learn what being on a island feels like.
