- A white police officer handcuffed a Black child outside his Michigan home in an “unfortunate case of ‘wrong place, wrong time,’” the Lansing Police Department said Friday.
Unacceptable behavior AGAIN ... He was not in the wrong place at the wrong time, they are automacically on racial profiling regardless of disparities in fitting the description. Prayers for this family and this innocent young man
He fit the description of the suspect they were looking for.
Lol
Cops hate all of us and not just u Stop Hogging Attention is selfish
@nuttybar9 no he didn't he had on diffre t cloths ,diffrent height ,diffrent age. Skin color is the only thing that matched. Once again a white adult lieing on a child to justify a racist system. It's sick.
@@nuttybar9Only thing description he dit is that he was black but these are the same cops that took pictures with the men who tried ro kidnap the state'a governor
How they confuse a child from a grown man ?? BS, sue TF out of them .,
they knew.
Right!
Look how tall that kid is!
@@sbsk2526and?
@@TheFutbol22 He matched the description. Period.
Traumatizing a minor like this. There is no excuse.
True, but you can't lie. It's like they set the cops up 😂 the guy they were looking for, and lil man got matching outfits!!
Really but blkgangs blkkids shooting other kids isn't traumatizing, shit or get off the pot
Looking at how tall he is, you wouldn't be able to tell he's 12 y/o as his at first glance.
@sbsk2526 Maybe, but once the cops got up close, they should have realized he's just a kid. The guy they were looking for just had matching outfits
@@augustineacevedo37 you do know kids do commit crimes too, not just adults...
'Wrong place, wrong time'? wtf. Yeah, how dare the kid take out the trash at his own home.
How about wrong brain, wrong job?
Learn and rehearse PTSD symptoms. Can't sleep, eat, afraid, ect. Sue high enough, attorneys get a 3rd.
He was at a wrong place wrong time because the time was when the suspect was there, and it was at that same apartments, not to mention similar clothing? Its an unfortunate wrong place & the wrong time.
Police were in the wrong place and wrong time
You know.. If his kind had a brain they would stop commiting crimes and police wouldnt need to do there job.
@@comedianpottymouth They're doing there job... Go tell your people to stop commiting crimes and police wouldnt need to go looking for suspects right?
So the police said "He was in the wrong place at the wrong time"? So, I am guessing the boy was supposed to look in a crystal ball and say to himself, well I guess I will just hold off from taking out the trash because I think the police will be hunting a suspect in my area who might be wearing something close to what I am wearing??? Hummmmm. SUE THEIR ASSES!!!!!!!!! PERIOD😠😠😠😡🤬🤬🤡🤡🤡🤡
nope just being black in black community
Right? That was poorly worded instead of manning up to the wrong doing, they tried to justify it.
The cop that arrested him, was one of those 'hero' cops who wants to be the first on the scene, the first to detain. He's probably looking for some sort of promotion. All he had to do was watch which apartment he returned to after dropping off the trash and then approach a parent.
WTF…..Watching this as a brown man from Europe this is so obviously racism. What was the identity of person he was mistaken for-another 12 year old prowling cars? The police approached the situation with weak info from dispatch, ready to violate his rights and with arrest in mind whatever. The kid, yes…kid was always guilty before any investigation and quickly in cuffs. Disgusting
He's not a cop, he's an SS soldier of the American Gestapo
What your saying makes to much sense. They don't function like that. They want to arrest and give each other high 5s.
Stupid. His kind commited a crime and police just doing there job. Dont commit crimes?
I love the non-apology, apology from the chief.
typical script read... blah blah sound sincere to public... laugh about it at station..Maybe we need everything recorded cars, phones and police stations. imagine the trash talking.
@@MrDavfitI want everybody out of Lansing Michigan. To practice the first amendment right and know the constitutional law of the USA. Please read up on all of the 14th. Amendments know it by heart, just like how they drilled the fake a** national anthem And pledge of allegiance to you guys from grade school all the way up to grammar school.
Typical they are allergic to something called accountability and are in denial, sick people.
Wow! Sue the lansing police department.
The officers were so wrong for treating this baby like he was a criminal when in all reality he was doing his chores by taking out the trash in obedience to his dad. Now, he has been traumatized by what happened to him in an innocent situation by doing what his dad told him to do. A lawsuit most definitely needs to be filed on behalf of this baby. The police needs to be held accountable for their actions. This is bigger than a simple apology from the officers. It could have turned deadly for this baby for something that he hadn't done. This is all wrong on so many levels.
And they were doing there job.... Maybe if his kind wasnt out stealing cars cops wouldnt need to go looking for a suspect?
@@StillKeepOnLosing You are such a little SHEEPY bleating the same nonsense!!!
The initial suspect fled and eluded the police. Another officer sees a young Black male, dressed somewhat similar to the original suspect, casually walking in a parking lot and assumes it is the same person who fled. The fact that the innocent young man did not flee should have been the first hint to the officer that this young male was not the suspect. A few intelligent questions would have prevented this.
Diffrent cloths, diffrent height,diffrent weight. Same skin color. I Agree with u tho u are right.
He saw a child.
Intelligence is not the strong suit of Lansing police, just sayin .
He grabbed the next one, because he let the suspect get away, which also means he knew what that suspect was wearing!!!
This is what happens when you don't have people from the community policing the community.. police officers are seen as a threat to the community not peace makers
I see them as an enemy of the people and an occupying force.
@@JonBroun 💯 I don't know if your black but this has always been the perception in a majority of predominantly black communities.. if you look at the history of the police you'll see why we would feel this way.. I know there's going to be a documentary about it I think it might be on Hulu

Love how the lying chief calls the 12-year-old a man and how they modified the images to make the child look as tall as a man, total BS, they always ask for height and weight on a 911 call, and when that tape is released, it won't be a little child's weight or height
@@turtletruth Qualified Immunity and the Unions that support them must be dismantled.
So they have their gun’s out for a 15 year old taking trash out instead of asking him his name and asking him to see his parent’s first before assuming that he is the kid that they are looking for and traumatizing him for a HUGE MISTAKE ⁉️⁉️
No, that doesn't occur when you have a potentially violent criminal on the loose who can be holding a weapon like a gun and can shoot within milliseconds of the cop coming out of the car. In order to show reasonable threat of force the police pulls out his gun (not aiming it at the boy) to show the suspect that he can potentially harm him if he chooses to retaliate and shoot him. THere are COUNTLESS examples, where a criminal feels cornered and takes out his gun to start shooting at police. It is proven over thousands of cases that pulling out your gun or having your hand on your gun gives you milliseconds of a jump start to point and aim your firearm at a criminal who chooses to shoot at you. Calling for his parents is ridiculous. How the hell would the police know his parents are right there in the apartment at the time of the scene? Only YOU know that because you just sat and watched a video giving you all the evidence of the case. There is no way a normal police surveying an area should just automatically know that a suspect is underage, innocent, and has his parents waiting a few steps away without treating each potential unpredictable situation the same regardless of age, build or race. Learn how to think for longer than 5 seconds and THINK about what actually is involved with life threatening police work.
12 year old child* not 15.
The only lives that are being threatened are citizens by cops. Police saw a young black kid and profiled him thinking he was up to know good . That's a B's excuse about car theft. Cope threaten more lives than there's are being threatened.
He's not 15 He's 12!
12 year old child
It's sooo sad, and they have a sorry excuse for the detainment. Police don't understand what this does to individuals. It's traumatic to kids, especially! Don't make no dang sense.
It's there job. Safety first.... What people like you dont understand is if his kind wasnt out commiting crimes then cops wouldnt need to go looking for suspects. Right?
Driving while black, walking while black, shopping while black,swimming while black, . Now taking the garbage out while black. Wrong place wrong time??? When is it ever a wrong dam time to be black? That is a lame excuse. I'm just glad the young brother was not shot and killed. This time. Enough already 😮
The Lansing police department and the mayor needs to make a direct apology to the family.
He was NOT a teenager as the AP stated. Hes a kid. His family was not located. He was handcuffed when he was not trying to resist. And alone. Most likely totally afraid. It is not a case of "wrong place, wrong time" it is profiling! Its a case of wrong judgment, wrongful arrest/detainment, wrongful process (failure to locate his family), and unnecessary, drastic treatment of a minor!!! Furthermore, it was NOT a few seconds, it was several minutes... even after his father came out to demand an explanation. No excuse!!!
Go be a cop then if you can do so much better

Pulling a gun on an obvious elementary school child. Look again at the photos, that is obviously a fully grown male in the suspect photo. How the hell do you mistake that for the size of an elmentary school child? Even if it was the kid why the hell do you pull a gun?
Obviously a grown male? You can see his face that well to tell huh? Lol. You people make me laugh with your internet forensics. The detention to ensure that the suspect is in fact truly apprehended is normal protocol. Gun is drawn because knowing the suspect is actively being searched the police understand that when cornered criminals have a tendency to "fight or flight". If the suspect had already ran away there's a chance if he's caught again he can put up a fight to ensure he isn't arrested. Just 5 minutes of thinking instead of reacting with some knee jerk race bait will do you justice
@NicooRico look at the size of the suspect in the photo, no way in hell you cops mistook that child for a suspect. Either way, pulling a gun on a 12 yr old is wrong on so many levels. Only a sociopath or a psychopath would pull a gun on a child that small.
@@AlcideIzMine No, it's really not.
@@jenkor513you're going to play internet CSI by a grainy, blurry photo and invalidate a cop's justification for ensuring all suspects in the area are confirmed until the dangerous criminal is caught? First off, if you listened to the story, there was only ONE cop on the other side of the neighborhood that SAW the real perp in the neon green and white shirt. The cop who saw this young boy did not see the original criminal, so all he really had to go off of was that he had neon green shorts and was black. How the hell is he supposed to know hold old the perp was compared to this boy? You do realize the description they give over the radio is also just a best case estimate of what they see at the time right? So even if the first cop stated, he's an adult male, he could have very well misjudged his age and it could have been a teenager instead. The second cop did not have a picture to verify the perps age or build. ONLY YOU have the advantage of sitting behind your screen and make post judgements about what the cop should do or not do well after you have the facts of the case. It's not so easy when you're actually on the ground and working a live case not knowing who has a gun or how unpredictable they can get if cornered and they feel the need to escape from the situation. Secondly, he didnt aim the gun at the boy, He pulled it out of his holster IN CASE, that was the real perp and he decided to act irrationally and shoot the cop instead. By pulling the gun out of the holster first, the cop has milliseconds ahead of the potential perp they are trying to arrest. Those few milliseconds are a LIFETIME if you have a potential shooter on your hands. And this is basic knowledge from the various cases that you can easily research yourself where criminals attack police when they have located them by surprise.
@@NicooRicoAre you on meth or Fentynol? He is clearly a CHILD, and the other is clearly an adult male. Tf? The little boy looks like a child.

How bout dont commit a crime...
I don’t understand how The United States isn’t bankrupt? The amount of lawsuits ( civil or otherwise) that they’ve had is insane.
Civil asset forfeiture! Police can legally rob us of cash. Steve lehto just did a video on it. The whole government is corrupt as hell from the bottom to the top and both sides!
They rather make those payouts than right their wrongs 😡
@@CJ-jt4wqHow?
I mean people in the community pay the lawsuits through taxes so it's kinda like they are paying for their own abuse lol
Because the majority are lies by thugs just to get out of trouble.
cops grabs the first black person they seen. sue the city over this
Okay highlights from this video indicate that they saw the kid put the trash into the dumpster and went directly into an uninformed arrest. There was no actual detaining to verify anything. Right to arrest and into the police car. Then, the blurred photo to protect who? Not the kid, but maybe the actual possible perp. Then the weak apology asking to put yourself into our shoes. If I was in their shoes, mine would be not pestering a kid in his own lot. I hope the police have a good server for the FOIA requests coming at them.
The kid was wearing the same neon green shorts are the perp who ran off in that same neighborhood. Wtf you expect them to do just let a suspect go because he's matching similar description to not be pointed out as racially profiling? Newsflash, it's ok to racially profile if the criminal is black as well and is seen wearing similar clothes and in the same neighborhood as another black boy.
True
Money grab oppourtunist.. had they not showed the side by side, i may think otherwise but yeah lets set this kid up for his first car, college, a down payment on his first house, ect.
They owe the kid so what's the problem?
No they don't owe nothing
They violated his rights and your mad at a kid. Your not american at all. Ypur a nazi. There are consequences to violating citizens rights. Yes they owe him and they know it.
If a cop can't tell the difference between a child and a grown man, they should not be cops.
In the photo you can clearly see the kid in a gray shirt! Not white! He is a kid not an adult! Police was wrong, and should have known better
eye witnesses don't always get the exact color right
How is being at home, taking out your own trash, being in the wrong place?!
Cuz his people out stealing cars near where he was... Common sense. Just like it's commin sense to not commit a crime... smh
@StillKeepOnLosing It's not common since to just arrest "anybody" for a crime that "somebody" committed!
I know how this family feels. Last year I was inside my home when my son called from outside yelling moms come tell these cops i live here. I rush out cop & cops have my 20 yrs old son in cuffs. I told them this is his home im his mother I own this new home its paid in full whats the problems? They said he had a smart mouth when my son spoke his rights. A few months down the road my 22yr old truck driver was home visiting was taking out the trash I was also cooking & heard voices raising. Go outside cop got a call 911 call about a child assumed my so could give him info. My son said he didn't no anything and the cop starting calling my son rude asshole. I have it on video tape. This year that white cop was fired for indecent behavior with colleges & other things.
Yeah so I was stopped by a Cop before when the person he were looking for didn't even look like me ,Matter of fact she was a different sex and weighed a 100 pounds less than me.
@@nuttybar9 it's sad. I never thought I'd experience it.
Always record ANY interaction you might have with law enForcement. Good for you for recording that.
@@tanucci733 yes thanks
You sound like your talking out your behind... Go tell his people to stop commiting crimes and this wouldnt happen.
He wasn't in the wrong place he was where he lived.
This takes it to a whole new level. I’ve heard driving while black, but I’ve never heard taking out trash while black.
Why do cops make these mistakes only with blacks and browns? Fire the incompetent cops without pension.
I need to see actual witness statement. These photos seem staged.
They didn't see size, they don't see age, do they see human????
This is a 12 year old child, this would affect any child!!!
They arrested a minor without contacting a parent THEY broke the law not him!!!
He wasn't at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was home. He could've been anywhere he wanted to be, he never committed a crime.
Irrelevant to whether the stop was good or not. Damn even with those pictures and the description of the circumstances people are acting like drama queens with no brains. How do you think policing and searching for a suspect works? This was actually handled very professionally by the book and well. Turning this into more than it was makes it more traumatic. How does that help the kid unless the family and some lawyers just want to make some money. I'm glad the father interceded for his son but now he's making it worse.
This wasn't mistaken identity, it was deliberate because he's black. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.
Don’t you know all black boy/ men look alike. Did anyone notice it took three statements for the Chief to give a brief cold apology. He made it sound like traumatizing a child was of no consequences because apparently black children do not experience trauma.
How does someone look like someone they’ve never seen?
Now the family should be able get out of the apartment complex, and buy the house they always wanted.
I love the way that they're slicing the baloney. If I want baloney I'll go to a delicatessen or a supermarket.
How the hell the child could wearing the same color clothing as a suspect.. something ain't right.. this is a lie..I want to hear the call to the cops..about the suspect.. this is ridiculous now
I wonder how sorry they would be if that boy was 6 feet in the ground. I wonder if they would’ve gave this week apology then.
no just pay out oops sorry no charges
It's a good thing that the boy remained calm and didn't resist, otherwise he would have been savagely beaten and probably murdered.
How can they not see the age of a 12 year old??!!?!
Lansing Police department sounds stupid as hell talking about wrong place wrong time but he is at his house taking out the trash... they need too do their job properly or get another job simple.
This isn’t a mistake. It is willful negligence. They don’t care because there is no real punishment for cops violating people’s rights.
No one's rights were violated. That's a good investigative stop. Perfectly legal and seemingly polite. Considering how vague many descriptions are, this was a really good match. A mistaken identity does not make this a mistake in police work. The police work seems to have been textbook correct.
Except it wasn’t. This isn’t acceptable. There must be more accountability for mistakes like this. If you won’t see that, you are blind. Even the PC said they were wrong and apologized.
@@WillW91 It is absolutely legal and acceptable. Police work - especially when actively searching for a suspect in the field - is not a tea party. Procedures and protocols are there for the safety of police, the community and the suspect stopped. People get offended and that can't be helped. You cannot ignore a match to a LO because you are worried about offending someone or "traumatizing" someone. LO descriptions ae often vague and can be incorrect in some aspect. This was a really good clothing description and the police would have been negligent NOT to stop and detain this kid.
This is a "mistaken identity" issue, it was not a mistake in police procedure or practice. Big difference. I have been a criminal defense attorney for 35 years. This was clean. I'm sorry if the reality of law and practice is not always pleasant looking and often not understood by citizens.
@@groundcontrol436385 you probably think Penn vs Mims was a good ruling too. We will just have to agree to disagree. Good day sir.

But he is underage. Why not ask for is parents and identify?
What do you mean wrong place at the wrong time. The kid was by the dumbster doing what he was asked by his dad.
Smells like a lawsuit.
People in the comment section are just unbelievable.
So if a thug wears the same under armour shirt as your 12 year old, it's the kid's fault??? How dare he not think about it before getting dressed in the morning...
That’s favorite line He looked like a suspect 🙄🙄
He was not in the wrong place at the wrong time.He Was at his home, being a responsible young man, taking out the trash for his parents. An activity that should not result in being handcuffed by incompetent pigs.
Fire the racist officers and the chief of police . The only reason for these cops acted this way was not related to their incompetence but their racist bias . The landsing citizens will paid for the lawsuit from a situation created by racist behavior of their police force.
Same excuse they always use.
Whoever put the cuffs on him was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We can’t go out to the dumpster and dump our trash.
Their officers don’t protect the community but are a clear and present danger! FIRE THEM ALL, including the mayor!
This is insane, this is not mistaken identity, this is pure incompetence and stupidity… They didn’t even ask proper questions try to try to assess the situation in a logical manner… They did they just allegedly saw the same shirt and shorts as the “suspect”, and just grabbed this poor child. … Size, clothing, aside, it doesn’t matter… They should’ve properly assessed better… If they had to, they could’ve maybe asked a cpl of questions to that poor boy and saw that he obviously didn’t fit that profile. But now just impulsive and not thinking, overreacting, and now embarrassment and trauma on the kid… Issuing an intense your apology, thinking that people just move on, and super under the rug… No, the family has every right to be outraged, lawsuits, and terminations all around
How do you know they didnt ask him? They release police cam vid? If not then stop bs'ing. Go tell his people to stop commiting crimes.
@@StillKeepOnLosing Respectfully, are you that ignorant?? It’s not about being biased, at the end of the day this is about right and wrong! No one is excusing unlawful bad behavior & committing crimes- obvi anyone of any age &/or any background that is involved in unlawful bad behavior and criminal activity should obviously atone for their actions! No one is unnecessarily pulling the race card, no one is marinating in victim hood. That was not the point of my comment 🙄, so miss me with the BS of twisting my comment into something that is not. You act like in this situation, the child & the family have no right to be outraged and questioning everything. This is a highly disrespectful & traumatizing experience to endure. If this was a personal experience , you would prob change your tune. People are tired of this type of situation, it’s not OK to normalize this type of situation, and the fam have every right to be upset & express their frustration, hell even pursue legal action! Even if footage was released, probably would corroborate the bad decision making & embarrassment of the officers- the dept should properly & personally apologize ( not just issuing a public statement/apology, and not addressing the family privately and directly), plus there needs to be some retraining. Like I said, even in law enforcement, there’s a proper way to asses & handle this type of situation- this was not it! It’s not always an act first/ think- question later situation. This young man was calm, spoke very eloquently, articulate, and is intelligent- do you think that if they actually logically approached him to properly assess the situation, to confirm if he actually fit the profile, that he would’ve ended up like this in handcuffs? More than likely not… Obviously they have to do their job and inquire if someone fits a profile, but if they actually did their job the properly- discover & absorb he’s under age- at his residence of all places- emptying the trash 😳, they should’ve connected with his parents to go from there- before just detaining a child- in which it spiraled & escalated into this circus! With that comes logic, intelligence, and proper training- which these officers are clearly lacking. There is a clear difference between this young boy VS a grown ass man, regardless of similar outfit. In this situation, the racial bias was clear ( “ well they both look similar & outfit similar”) smh! … Generally, a suspect on the run-who committed a crime within the same day-in the same clothes- wouldn’t be even more stupid to be so out in the open- this calm & nonchalant- wouldn’t you think they would be lowkey in hiding? … The situation is horrible and their actions are ridiculous, these officers need to do better period! In this type of situation, it’s very clear how things should’ve been handled, so miss me & move on with your close-minded “whatabout-isms” & ignorance… 🙄
How the he!! Can you be in the wrong place at the wrong time when its your home.I know to all these trailer trash cowards with badges and guns they consider all black peoples to look and act alike that’s in their nature and in their training.Its very fortunate that this didn’t escalate into a violent situation because i know my dad would have laid those trailer trash cowards out.Unfortunately at this point all you can do is sue the he!! Out of the city for all te emotional trauma they caused that child.

We remember what happened to 12-year-old Tamir Rice. A mistake by trigger-happy police led to his murder.
Yeah he had a gun that he made to look real and was pointing it at others and then went to pull it out of his waistband when the Police told him to put his hands up in the air, Which makes him at fault not the Cops.
@@nuttybar9 Trigger-happy Cleveland police shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice in less than 2 seconds. News reports: Loehmann jumps out of the car and immediately shoots Rice from a distance of less than 10 feet. The entire incident happened within a span of two seconds. According to Judge Ronald B. Adrine, in a judgement entry on the case, "this court is still thunderstruck by how quickly this event turned deadly.... On the video the zone car containing Patrol Officers Loehmann and Garmback is still in the process of stopping when Rice is shot. Loehmann, the officer who killed Rice, joined Cleveland's police force in March 2013. From July to December 2012, he worked with the police department in Independence, about 13 miles south of Cleveland, with four of those months spent in the police academy.
In a memo to Independence's human resources manager, released by the city in the aftermath of the shooting, Independence deputy police chief Jim Polak wrote that Loehmann had resigned rather than face certain termination due to the concern that he lacked the emotional stability to be a police officer. Polak said that Loehmann was unable to follow "basic functions as instructed" and specifically cited a "dangerous loss of composure" that occurred in a weapons training exercise. Polak said that Loehmann's weapons handling was "dismal" and he became visibly "distracted and weepy" as a result of relationship problems. The memo concluded, "Individually, these events would not be considered major situations, but when taken together they show a pattern of a lack of maturity, indiscretion and not following instructions, I do not believe time, nor training, will be able to change or correct these deficiencies." It was subsequently revealed that Cleveland police officials never reviewed Loehmann's personnel file from Independence prior to hiring him. He had been hired in Cleveland despite listing his primary source of income for the prior six months having been derived from "under-the-table jobs".
On May 30, 2017, the mayor of Cleveland announced that Loehmann had been fired for concealing details about his past employment in his job application. On his application, Loehmann said that he had left the Independence Police Department for "personal reasons" and did not reveal the Independence police's determination that he had "an inability to emotionally function" as an officer."

He was in the right place because he was throwing out trash in a garbage dumpster. The police made it the wrong place for the child.
Wrong place ? What law or rule is that ? Amazing how unintelligent the cops are. Black seems to equal guilty.
Pursuit of the actual felon has been overshadowed by this. Thus, any black willing to commit a crime only has to dress like another black in the area, and utter mayhem will ensue.
It is incumbent on the adults of this nation-within our criminal legal systems and across society-to take every step to end the systemic adultification of Black children, rectify its appalling injustices, and address the destruction it has wrought on entire generations of Black communities.

Improper use of a quote. Who has blind belief? The video shows that the police did the least violent thing possible to ensure their safety and the boy's safety was protected. While also navigating an unpredictable situation as he could have been the perp they were trying to locate.

How was he in the wrong place at the wrong time if he lives there?! TF?!
The chief of that police department needs to do better because the people in the community he is policing aren't paying both statements. The 12 years old was a straight-up suspect in the eyes of all those officers because he is Black. What happened to the 12 years old was totally unacceptable.
stop saying he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. he was exactly where he was supposed to be at exactly the time he was supposed to be there.
WTF…..Watching this as a brown man from Europe this is so obviously racism. Kid was guilty before proven innocent. What was the identity of person he was mistaken for-another 12 year old prowling cars? The police approached the situation with weak info from dispatch, ready to violate his rights and with arrest in mind whatever. The kid, yes…kid was always guilty before any investigation and quickly in cuffs. He’s traumatised for life and will never trust law enforcement again. Most disgusting
He was in the right place uhhhhh at home. 🙃 Cops were In the wrong place at the wrong time. 😡
They know good and well that wasn't that kid that they was looking for. they just crooked 🤨
Thank God they didn’t shoot him because they feared for their lives.
One wonders if the police will say the same thing about the $1,000,000 lawsuit they're about to be served.
Wrong place, wrong time........... ?
if he was stealing cars, he wouldn't be walking and wearing shorts and slippers...
How you was in the wrong place 🤦🏽♀️ And thats where you stay!!! MAKE NO SENSE
They wanna say "all y'all look alike" but they don't want to seem like bigots
does it not appear they were wearing the same clothing?
When "we" do something wrong, like speeding.. "we" have to pay a fine. So just go ahead and write this family a check for 1M dollars and be done with it. You have to hit these cops where it hurts, just like they do us, in the pocketbook. The detaining officer should be fired (who cuffed the boy) thats a given.
If the kid has no weapon, why are u pointing a gun at him to threaten his life?
I see the Maga force is deep in here.
Say that in a small chat and see what happens
@@ScottyPimpinATL meaning ?
@@ScottyPimpinATLlol😂 y r u 🏳️🌈
Yeah, they pretend that most Trumpers aren’t racist, but you can see the truth in the comment section on any of these videos lol.
@@ScottyPimpinATLYou guys whine and cry about freedom of speech yet you're butt hurt over a comment. You're a joke.
Traumatized the poor baby. He’ll be affected for the rest of his life.
6 officers no one had a spidey sense that said anything…
Cop: it's not everyday that you see a person of the same color wearing the same color shorts and a similar color shirt. They also look about the same age...
Wrong place at the wrong time? Um bullshit. The child was in the right place at the right time doing what his dad told him to do and that was to take out the trash. Excuses to justify their behavior towards this child. Fuq that non apology, apology. It’s an insult to the family and the community.
I've seen the original video, I cried when his dad came out and said you traumatized him 😢 I think kids who are 12 and that's too young to be handcuffed, I would've panicked anyone would that young.
I laughed because they blame police instead of one of his kind out and about stealing cars... Dont commit crimes and police wouldnt need to go out looking for suspects?
@@StillKeepOnLosing Keep on bleating little SHEEPY!!!! As I told you 70% of felony crime is committed by white people!!!!! And cops keep profiling blacks, like this kid who committed NO crime.
On another note, just like the bystander was filming, imagine how many innocently arrested/ detained people end up being utterly embarrassed infront of neighbors and coworkers.Unlike this story, the truth never travels as fast.
Imagine a world where we didnt need cops cuz his people isnt out commiting crimes...
Again, incidents like this show the ignorance (and evil) of many of those in blue uniforms. This was a minor, taking out trash near his residence, posing no current threat. Why didn't the cops initially approach the parents first with their claim that this young man is a suspect before handcuffing him. It would have been different if the kid was apprehended away from his home. Why not have a little consideration! Man...I am so sick of seeing how people of color are treated as third-class citizens just because of the color of skin. Give us the same consideration you give to non-black people! Every black person is not a thug or a threat as the media and society tries to purport; just like every non-black person is not free from corruption as the media and society tries to make us believe!
There is literally no situation that a cop can't make worse. Never call them, never speak to them. The thugs who hide behind their thin blue line need to be stripped of their qualified immunity and forced to self-insure (like a doctor) so that the public no longer has to pay for their thoughtlessness and, sometimes intentional, violations of our constitutional rights.
Lawsuit!
This happens all the time. Has happened to me more than once. First time I was 10 and put in the back of the cop car
What did you do? What was the reason they said you were put in the back of a cop car?
@@NicooRico I didn't do anything
You were 10 yo and they put you in a police car for some reason, what is that reason?
@@jd-zr3vk I looked like another kid that was throwing rocks and breaking windows
@@BobSmith-kd6lqoh so then the police took the right action and investigated the situation until they confirmed you were not the perp they were looking for in the area. Sounds justified doesnt it? Seems the bigger problem is kids are doing more and more crime if it happens all the time.
That's good, they are accountable for their mistakes. Finally a police force that acts without pride
how is it the wrong place wrong time when you at your own house putting out the trash? i call bullshit
sue for millions and get those incompetent cops fired
That young black boy is not the first to be detained or arrested because he "fit the description" and unfortunately, he won't be the last.
Yet look at the vast majority of crimes, esp car thefts, and who is committing them.
Come on.
It's sad what happened to this boy, but don't blame just the cops. Bk folk in America talk about unity but they are their own worst enemy.
@@axelfoley1406 First, I need to know something. Do you agree with my statement?
How black people keep their composure & grace when this happens again & again?!!! I'd would need a straight jacket. God damn it.
This is not wrong place.wrong time, this is sloppy police work..
Thankfully, the cops didn't attack or shoot Tashawn's dad for inquiring about his son's wrongful detention. All it would have taken was a late arriving thug sergeant or another ignoramus in uniform, rushing to judgement and blasting away.
Had that happened, you know they would run to the Qualified Immunity Curtain and hide behind it. It's sad to know that not too long ago, racist cops would have done serious harm to both the father and the son just for talking back to them in defense of themselves.
All you had to do was just let the teen walk up to his house and call his parents to come out
You sweet summer child. So naive.
These police are diabolical with there damn excuses. What is the damn gun for, you can't just grab anyone. Sue the hell out of them, learn to do y'all investigation properly.
How you in the wrong place wrong time in your own home! Taking out your own trash what you have to get a permission to leave your home now
So sick of hearing about black victim media superstars. Bring in Reverend Sharpton & cut him his check
As a Jamaican living in the USA i have a 10 yrs old how in the world can i not worry about him My God .. thes COPS NEED TO BE FIRED AND GET COPS WHO ARE HUMAN NOT RACEIST COPS ... LEAVR US ALONE GO CATCH THE REAL CRIMALS OUT THERE LET THE KIDS GROW UP IN PEACE
