From what I found out, the judge has been taken off his court docket, and he's also lost his adjunct professor position he had at a college for the upcoming semester. He was also told to go through some classes for his position. What he did to that girl was out of line, and he really overstepped his boundaries and abused his power. The girl's mother is currently suing the judge for what he did to her daughter, and I don't blame her. Basically, what that judge did was really stupid as hell, because the girl was not a defendant in his courtroom. That's why his actions toward her didn't make any damn sense. He is being punished, though. The thing is, nodding off in someone's courtroom is not a damn crime, and his rationalization of his actions was pure bullshit. He could have just asked her to leave the courtroom--he's the one who got a damn attitude in the first place, not her.
Honestly, if the girl was white, I really don't think the judge would have done anything like that to her. This guy was just an arrogant fool who overstepped his boundaries, and I'd getting punished for it.
If that judge had done that to a young white girl his azz would've been disbarred, jailed, and sued himself after he got the heat from that girl's parents & their community.
She doesn't have the complexion for the protection apparently...... & we all know if that were a young WG with an "Attitude", the Judge would've kept his Blk mouth shut!

Peep how everyone's quiet whenever it comes down to Young BG..... Particularly those with a darker hue. Peep the silence on Ms. Sonya Massey...... Too often innocent BW & BG are swept under the rug like a dirty little secret, dismissed, disrespected even after death and forgotten about.

He needs to make a public apology to that child and ordered to pay for her college tuition and therapy for the emotional damage he has caused her. His family should be embarrassed by his behavior.
God help his family if he has one. If he’s this much of a tyrant in public and on television before the world, imagine what he’s like behind closed doors. Gross!

I hope this young lady is able to move past this situation in a healthy way.
“I didn’t like the child’s attitude”. “I haven’t been disrespected like that in a long time.” He wasn’t trying to teach her a lesson in courtroom etiquette, he was trying to shame her and humble her.

No. It's a black person with power who would never do that to another race but will do it to their own. It's more than ego. It's acting out all those sad stereotypes on your own. He should be ashamed😢😢😢
I'm from Detroit. When I was in elementary school, I had a classmate who would fall asleep in class. Our teacher, principal, or my mom, who was PTA president, didn't scream at her. They asked why she was so tired, and they found out that her mom would take her to all night church revivals. Situations like this can always be handled in a rational way if you are a rational person.
@@mrkinlathe ultimate problem with our legal system. It only serves to punish instead of rehabilitate or understand the root of the problem and try to address it. A little empathy is what this world needs.
I'm a teacher that teaches high school students, and when I tell you I was incensed when I saw this story. It was not worth it. Not at all. I hate when adults have such an animosity to teenagers as if they are full functioning adults. It really sickens me. I have had times where my students have gotten out of pocket, but I didn't take it personal. I do let them know the behavior is not cool. The next day, it's as if nothing happened, and they are trying to get me to listen to whatever sonf they are obsessed with.
I’m happy the mom is speaking with lawyer, sue the state/county, and add him personally to the lawsuit , they will settle quick… Every time I hear this story it affects my blood pressure.
The girl hasn't had a good night sleep since she doesn't have a permanent home of her own. She probably felt safe there to get some rest, but the judge humiliated her for it.
Great analysis, Calvin🩵🩵! I saw that they took away two teaching opportunities from him and that he's still suspended!! Personally, he should've been fired right away. Absolutely evil and vindictive thing to do to a kid, a homeless one at that!! 🥴🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ The anti-Blackness and over-policing of our young Black girls is scary to witness. I truly hope she and her mother are able to heal and are fully compensated for their pain and suffering. What a nasty spirit that Judge has smdh😒. P.s. he has kids and a daughter, too. Lol, what are the odds 😅🤦🏾♀️
I had to go and find the video first to verify that I was correct. This is the same judge that threaten to hold a young Black woman attorney in contempt for the same reasons he's now in this situation... ego, anger, and power tripping. In my opinion, in that situation, he was so rude and condescending to the attorney then when she matched his energy, he couldn't take it and threatened to hold her in contempt. The attorney was RIGHTLY calling out the prosecutors for their continued behavior of providing late discovery and asking for a remedy from the court to help curtail that behavior in the future, but the judge kept cutting her off then getting mad and telling her to stop speaking when he's speaking. Keep in mind, the attorney is appearing via zoom, and there is a delay, so I don't believe it was her intention to continue talking when he would interrupt her, but because of the delay, she would still be speaking while he was speaking. A male attorney (who I believe was her husband) steps in and the same thing happens with the interrupting of the judge and the delay causing overspeaking, and he doesn't treat the male attorney with nearly the same level of vitriol as the female attorney. And in the end, taking away all parties' attitudes and egos, I felt the same about that situation with the attorney as this one with the young girl, and that is that this judge allows anger and ego to overcome his intelligence. The attorneys were asking for a remedy on a continued pattern of behavior, and the judge just kept saying, "I take everything case by case." In my opinion, if he wasn't so angry and on a power trip, he would have understood that what the attorneys were asking was for him to look at the behavior in totality because on a "case by case" basis, this thing is only happening once, but in totality it happens often and is a problem. I didn't mean for this comment to be so long lol, but I'm interested in anyone's thoughts on that situation as well because I seem to be in the minority in thinking the judge was the problem, not the attorney. If anyone wants to watch that video search, "Judge Kings Snaps on Rude Attorney Threatens Contempt."
This court has hosted lots of students. Seriously, I doubt if a student from a "different community" would have been treated in such a manner. I'm so sad right now.😢
He never asked if she had a medical condition or if she had any problems that was making her tired. I fell asleep at my desk once in class. I woke up to class being dismissed and locked in the school. Little did they know I had a really hard night the night before and didn't get any sleep after my mother was dying of Cancer and my father was struggling with something's. I was in 7th grade. I felt abandon and confused. I didn't tell my parents because they were already dealing with things. Not one Teacher checked on me, but instead left me. It wasn't until 8th grade graduation my teacher brought it up, as if she was proud I made a change in my life. When I told her all that was occurring, at that point my mother had only a few weeks left to live...she stated "oh wow I wish I knew what was going on". but she never asked.
If a Judge can do something like this and has this kind of authority over visiting children, then A COURT ROOM IS NOT A SITE FOR A FEILD TRIP!!! After this I would NEVER sign a permission slip for this field trip. A judge should NOT have this kind of authority over kids on a FIELD TRIP!!!
He owes this child, her family, and the students in attendance an apology. He also owes this young lady compensation for mental distress. He made an enemy for no reason. If he didn’t want her in the courtroom he should have asked her to leave not degrade her in this way. Young, Black and Gifted in America.
That judge was out of order he needs to be removed from the bench immediately. What's crazy to me as it pertains to some black people being I power many of them has this ego trip where they think in order to correct somebody they have to resort to the most extreme of punishments and I am sitting up here like you literally traumatized a young lady by humiliating her, forced her to put on a prison jump suit and she was uncomfortable with that because there was a whole camera in the room where she had to undress and get dressed, you then berated her in front of everyone like some type of criminal, and then gave her peers the power to persecute her by allowing them to vote that she should go to jail for sleeping in your courtroom is beyond crazy as hell. This reminded me so much of those black parents that go to the school and humiliate their black kids in front of the teachers. I want black people to know when you do this type of stuff your literally reinforcing stereotypes and aiding people in their bias to mistreat your kids, if you don't respect your kids why should they.
This!!!! Absolutely disgusting of this man. He shouldn't be a judge if he is going to be this triggered. Seems to be a common problem with law enforcement.
facts!!!!!! I've also seen other black people saying "this is what the kids need, they're out of order" when this CHILD was not there in a criminal justice capacity. She was not there to be taught a lesson!!!! Imagine having to go back to school, back to the class that "voted' for your humiliation? Imagine still having to deal with the adversity of being houseless and possibly not eating often or not eating good food. I am so livid
DISRESPECTED? How? The judge only shows he's far removed from the lives of the people who comes into his court. THE RICH MAN SHOWING NO EMPATHY FOR THE POOR. He never asked if she was sick or had problems with sleeping at home. His mind was on punishment and she was to stay awake and do as he says. SHE'S ON A TRIP TO THE COURT, NOT A CRIMINAL BEFORE IT.
ALL of the adults that were there and didn’t speak up for this child should ALL be sued and lose their positions. Poor child wasn’t protected by any adult there. I hope his temporary suspension is permanent
Hey boo! I see this story has upset you as well. Listening to the way this judge was speaking about this situation, the way he was so invested in punishing a teenage girl and his thirst to see her humiliated and the fact that he stood by his actions, he makes me sick to my stomach. In my humble opinion, his actions are akin to a p*do.
@@TheKittsPajamas Heyyyy I love a good crossover 😆 Yes, I agree 100 percent! I commented on Erica Dinero’s page that when I was re-telling my daughter the story, it made me cry. I was so mad! Erica dragged him to hell tho lol She also mentioned something about the judge reaching out to the teen to be “a mentor” to her!? The audacity! 🤬
@@Lexx1192Oh yea I saw Erica’s too! She went all the way in, as she should. She gave all the emotions and words that were sitting on my chest weighing me down. The absolute audacity. That man is sick.
Definitely Ego, definitely Bias, if not just age bias but possibly racial bias (Yes, even though the judge was black). Judge was making assumptions about the girl's conduct, the conduct of the children in general, and the whole private situation going on. I feel like it really is a lesson about the assumptions we make and the biases we have.
Anti-Blackness is a sickness in the Black Community. He went above and beyond on purpose**. This level of egotism is a huge red flag. Who does he think he is?
@@a_paradoxfunction4156 Exactly! And then is reaching out to her to see if he can mentor her?????!!!! 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 I hope they get a restraining/protective order against him!
@@a_paradoxfunction4156 Precisely! You get it! Then he was reaching out to her to ask if he can mentor her????? 🚩🚩 I hope her mom files for a protective order.
The lack of advocacy for her by an adult in that moment is disheartening to say the least. Folks can be so complacent with mistreatment right in front of them
You are spot on. He may even think nobody cares because she is black.. Then the disgusting okey doke, “I called the family and asked them if they wanted him to mentor her. What??? smh. Would never leave my child or anyones else’s alone with this guy.. Its weird.
Because he still doesn't see himself as wrong. He's a lost cause, highlighted further by his audacious offer to mentor someone he literally traumatized, because obviously that would be a wonderful idea🙄
See, that is a HUGE reason why I can't watch those judge tv shows... it plays to their ego, and there shouldn't be sarcasm/comedy when it comes to a person's justice
Judge "Joe Brown Jr" thought he was going to get a standing ovation for his behavior. He also probably thought those kids were in a Scared Straight program field trip and wanted to show out. Trump fell asleep at his OWN TRIAL. This girl was on a boring field trip and fell asleep. This judge should have fallen on his sword and apologized profusely ... maybe the Attorney General and Governor of the state need to make a phone call to this judge.
Her Advocates failed her. You’re right! The adults should’ve removed her from the court room once the Judge was aware and made his comments. I feel that her support knew about her home life and knew she may not been her full self that day.
All he did was give her a lesson in adults with fragile egos, especially when it comes to kids. And abuse of power in action. He could’ve led with empathy and wondered why this kid was so tired. But no, he decided to interpret her tiredness as attitude and disrespect. And even if was just that, is there a law that would lead to what happened? He did too much smh.
How traumatizing for the little girl. She's going to school, working, doing civic work, and work. This is absolute misogynoir: He interpreted her sleeping as having an attitude. That man is disgusting.
@10:13 Exactly Calvin! That was my first thought! Did none of the program staff step in? And I feel like it shows a lack of intelligence on the judge's part because it's like you have no other thought of "recourse" than throwing people in jail? Like you said, people be blinded by ego and power.
He is still cocky with it, he is disgusting. “Attitude” is such a dog whistle that Black women are impacted by. I also would like to shine a light on colorism too. The girl appears to be dark skin, I wonder if the harshness of his behavior would have been the same if she were light skin. I would look into his previous court decisions, his judgement is very very very off.
I was appalled that they took my children at age 7 and 10 to see a court system including showing them a jail without my permission and all my life growing up in another country I have never seen the inside if a police station or jail.
This story definitely pissed me off! That Judge should be acknowledging that he was wrong and apologizing to the young girl. And, to make amends, go into his bank account and take out enough to give that child & her mother first, last and security deposit to go rent an apartment somewhere. It’s not my idea, Funky Dineva said it and I agree with it. It’s definitely a way that he could show remorse for his actions.
Funny I was at court last week and a man next to me fell asleep and the bailiff just made him go out to the waiting area, I’m sure this wasn’t the first time someone fell asleep in his court and I doubt he’s making ppl go put on a jumpsuit
@@TheKittsPajamasblack girls/women are going to be targeted even more when Kamala Harris becomes the president. Smh. The haters are going to be in full effect.
Y’all this also made me think of Calvin’s podcast episode where had the kids play court at his youth center. Instead of placing this unreasonable punishment on the little girl who took some candy, he had the kids play a judge, jury, attorneys, witnesses, etc. It was hysterical, but it just made me think of how the judge missed an opportunity to make the field trip interactive and fun for the students much like Calvin did. Instead, the judge chose to demonstrate tyranny and ego. 🤦🏾♀️
Clearly, the Judge’s agenda was to show how much power he could wield. The whole exercise was about him… HIS respect… HIS courtroom… HIS power! He’s lost whatever respect anyone may have had for him trying to showboat.
I am looking at this so called judge talk about a child’s attitude? She was not there to be scared straight, she was there on a field trip. Fire his azz and I hope he never judges anything ever again.
The fact she is a dark skin black girl has everything to do with it. It would've never be done to a white girl falling asleep in his court room. I also fault all the adults present who didn't step in to stop this.
I'm pretty sure, I would bet, that he wouldn't have done it to a white child or to Trump if he was the presiding judge in Trump's recent case where they say he fell asleep plenty of times
the court sexually assaulted this child for simply falling asleep! she was not only verbally assaulted but forced to strip in front of adults. And putting her in a room being filmed while she removed the rest of her clothes is just as egregious. The judge is not the only one at fault but also all the adults that watched and participated in this assault
This makes me wonder how many people will come forward as videos float around showing his abuse of power in other situations. From what I’ve found out, the teenage girl is experiencing homelessness, works, and is an honor student. That judge immediately assumed the worst and showed just his lack of ability to JUDGE someone’s character.
That judge needs to be humbled and made an example. So many judges, at all levels, have abused their authority. This goes to show, yet again, why there needs to be a judicial oversight and integrity authority managed by an independent board of citizens
👩🏼⚖️ all kin folks not kin folks 👩🏼⚖️❤️🖤💚 This judge should be reprimanded. Criminals get treated better than this. Shame on you judge. No crime was committed arrogant full of himself. 👩🏼⚖️👩🏼⚖️🤷
Thanks for sharing this story. I didn't know about it. I definitely agree with you that the judges ego was at play, along with some internalized racism add misogyny. People in power who are working with young people should have experience with working with youths. I wonder if that judge has children. I hope this young lady gets the help and support she'll need to get past this traumatic ordeal, on top of being homeless, it's a lot for such a young person to be dealing with. I wish her and her family all the best🙏🏾
Great point of views! This was a power struggle between a man feeling like he’s losing control of the room and a teen who was cranky because she just woke up. The teac chaperones should have been the mediators.
Ego. Bingo!!! That Judge 's Ego was way too much out in front. Then he brought her peers into it! This a child on a field trip, not a repeat offender! This judge was all into his feelings. A mature adult would have brought her aside and talk with her privately. Instead, He involves her peers in his shaming her. What a bully! He clearly wasn't exercising critical thinking. It is appalling to think he is a judge overseeing cases! He owes her a public apology and to pay for any therapy she may need for this traumatic event he caused. He was way out of pocket.
This story brings me back to being in a similar situation. I was arrested for stealing a tube of Neosporin. First judge continued it. The second time I appeared in front of a judge, I could tell he was upset at me. This was in MS and the buses stop early. I kept looking at the clock and when I turned around, the Judge was looking at me. A store rep wasn't present, so my case should've been thrown out, but it wasn't. That Judge felt some kind of way, so he did what he wanted not what should've been done.
I live in Detroit and have seen the additional footage of this judge's arrogance and ego, when, instead of apologizing and admitting to any wrongdoing, he offered to mentor the girl, in which the mother wisely rejected.
So instead of taking her aside and asking what might be wrong he puts her in handcuffs and threatens jail? WTELF is wrong with people?? Compassion is apparently a lost art.
This was a disgusting display of abuse of power. I hope he loses his seat over this

I'm from Detroit. When I was in elementary school, I had a classmate who would fall asleep in class. Our teacher, principal, or my mom, who was PTA president, didn't scream at her. They asked why she was so tired, and they found out that her mom would take her to all night church revivals. Situations like this can always be handled in a rational way if you are a rational person.
I hate when we do this sh*t to us. We already have enough enemies out here without us turning on each other.
That part
And how about... young lady, you seem tired. Did you get any sleep last night? But instead he went immediately to handcuffs!
@@mrkinlathe ultimate problem with our legal system. It only serves to punish instead of rehabilitate or understand the root of the problem and try to address it. A little empathy is what this world needs.
@@Rastaferrari829 Well said. Rasta!
@@Rastaferrari829but she wasn't even therefore a "legal " issue, she was there to observe possibly career exploration.
I've observed the LACK of concern, care and compassion from law enforcement from Judge on down to police officers.
I'm a teacher that teaches high school students, and when I tell you I was incensed when I saw this story. It was not worth it. Not at all. I hate when adults have such an animosity to teenagers as if they are full functioning adults. It really sickens me. I have had times where my students have gotten out of pocket, but I didn't take it personal. I do let them know the behavior is not cool. The next day, it's as if nothing happened, and they are trying to get me to listen to whatever sonf they are obsessed with.
I can tell you are a great teacher ❤
I’m happy the mom is speaking with lawyer, sue the state/county, and add him personally to the lawsuit , they will settle quick… Every time I hear this story it affects my blood pressure.
I wish they could sue him, but judicial immunity is stronger than qualified immunity. Judges hate it when other judges are held accountable.
@@baileykeller288 yes, because they know they will likely be held accountable for their own actions at some point.
The girl hasn't had a good night sleep since she doesn't have a permanent home of her own. She probably felt safe there to get some rest, but the judge humiliated her for it.
Yes
They'll probably remove her from parental custody and be placed in foster care next due to her lack of a stable home environment.
Or she was so tired that no matter how she tried she could not stay Awake
Great analysis, Calvin🩵🩵! I saw that they took away two teaching opportunities from him and that he's still suspended!! Personally, he should've been fired right away. Absolutely evil and vindictive thing to do to a kid, a homeless one at that!! 🥴🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
The anti-Blackness and over-policing of our young Black girls is scary to witness. I truly hope she and her mother are able to heal and are fully compensated for their pain and suffering. What a nasty spirit that Judge has smdh😒.
P.s. he has kids and a daughter, too. Lol, what are the odds 😅🤦🏾♀️
Somebody needs to check on his daughter.
Exactly. He is the kind who can’t wait to see another Black person trapped in the judicial system.
His kids are 1/2 white, aren't they?
I had to go and find the video first to verify that I was correct. This is the same judge that threaten to hold a young Black woman attorney in contempt for the same reasons he's now in this situation... ego, anger, and power tripping. In my opinion, in that situation, he was so rude and condescending to the attorney then when she matched his energy, he couldn't take it and threatened to hold her in contempt. The attorney was RIGHTLY calling out the prosecutors for their continued behavior of providing late discovery and asking for a remedy from the court to help curtail that behavior in the future, but the judge kept cutting her off then getting mad and telling her to stop speaking when he's speaking. Keep in mind, the attorney is appearing via zoom, and there is a delay, so I don't believe it was her intention to continue talking when he would interrupt her, but because of the delay, she would still be speaking while he was speaking. A male attorney (who I believe was her husband) steps in and the same thing happens with the interrupting of the judge and the delay causing overspeaking, and he doesn't treat the male attorney with nearly the same level of vitriol as the female attorney. And in the end, taking away all parties' attitudes and egos, I felt the same about that situation with the attorney as this one with the young girl, and that is that this judge allows anger and ego to overcome his intelligence. The attorneys were asking for a remedy on a continued pattern of behavior, and the judge just kept saying, "I take everything case by case." In my opinion, if he wasn't so angry and on a power trip, he would have understood that what the attorneys were asking was for him to look at the behavior in totality because on a "case by case" basis, this thing is only happening once, but in totality it happens often and is a problem.
I didn't mean for this comment to be so long lol, but I'm interested in anyone's thoughts on that situation as well because I seem to be in the minority in thinking the judge was the problem, not the attorney. If anyone wants to watch that video search, "Judge Kings Snaps on Rude Attorney Threatens Contempt."
Oh yea he’s definitely a problem.
This court has hosted lots of students. Seriously, I doubt if a student from a "different community" would have been treated in such a manner. I'm so sad right now.😢
He never asked if she had a medical condition or if she had any problems that was making her tired.
I fell asleep at my desk once in class. I woke up to class being dismissed and locked in the school. Little did they know I had a really hard night the night before and didn't get any sleep after my mother was dying of Cancer and my father was struggling with something's. I was in 7th grade. I felt abandon and confused. I didn't tell my parents because they were already dealing with things. Not one Teacher checked on me, but instead left me. It wasn't until 8th grade graduation my teacher brought it up, as if she was proud I made a change in my life. When I told her all that was occurring, at that point my mother had only a few weeks left to live...she stated "oh wow I wish I knew what was going on". but she never asked.
Oh my god!! That is horrible! I’m so sorry you had to go through all that.
Whether she knew courtroom etiquette, or not, when sleep overtakes you, it's very powerful. It'a a biological function. Judge... just wow.
I'm a teacher and you would be surprised the health issues these kids have. Diabetes.. narcolepsy... etc
Epilepsy... sleep apnea...
If a Judge can do something like this and has this kind of authority over visiting children, then A COURT ROOM IS NOT A SITE FOR A FEILD TRIP!!! After this I would NEVER sign a permission slip for this field trip. A judge should NOT have this kind of authority over kids on a FIELD TRIP!!!
I couldn’t agree more! EGO driven. What a mess!
He never would have done it to a white girl.
For sure😢
👍🏾 NEVER!!! Furthermore, he expected praise from white people for all of his "buck-dancing" against this CHILD.
You should not have all this power just because you get to wear a bathrobe to work
It makes me wonder about cases he’s made judgements on.
@@CalvinMichaelsMe too. What the hell is this guy’s problem? He didn’t like her attitude? He has a TERRIBLE attitude.
That part.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 I'm done
@kristineilochi4615 right??? Talk about projection!!!!!
He owes this child, her family, and the students in attendance an apology. He also owes this young lady compensation for mental distress. He made an enemy for no reason. If he didn’t want her in the courtroom he should have asked her to leave not degrade her in this way. Young, Black and Gifted in America.
That judge was out of order he needs to be removed from the bench immediately. What's crazy to me as it pertains to some black people being I power many of them has this ego trip where they think in order to correct somebody they have to resort to the most extreme of punishments and I am sitting up here like you literally traumatized a young lady by humiliating her, forced her to put on a prison jump suit and she was uncomfortable with that because there was a whole camera in the room where she had to undress and get dressed, you then berated her in front of everyone like some type of criminal, and then gave her peers the power to persecute her by allowing them to vote that she should go to jail for sleeping in your courtroom is beyond crazy as hell. This reminded me so much of those black parents that go to the school and humiliate their black kids in front of the teachers. I want black people to know when you do this type of stuff your literally reinforcing stereotypes and aiding people in their bias to mistreat your kids, if you don't respect your kids why should they.
This!!!!
Absolutely disgusting of this man. He shouldn't be a judge if he is going to be this triggered. Seems to be a common problem with law enforcement.
facts!!!!!! I've also seen other black people saying "this is what the kids need, they're out of order" when this CHILD was not there in a criminal justice capacity. She was not there to be taught a lesson!!!! Imagine having to go back to school, back to the class that "voted' for your humiliation? Imagine still having to deal with the adversity of being houseless and possibly not eating often or not eating good food. I am so livid
People should respect people including kids because it's the right thing to do
DISRESPECTED?
How?
The judge only shows he's far removed from the lives of the people who comes into his court.
THE RICH MAN SHOWING NO EMPATHY FOR THE POOR.
He never asked if she was sick or had problems with sleeping at home.
His mind was on punishment and she was to stay awake and do as he says.
SHE'S ON A TRIP TO THE COURT, NOT A CRIMINAL BEFORE IT.
He was on a power trip! He has no compassion or logic!
He should be fired. Imagine how many people he unjustly sentenced due to his emotions.
I agree!
Perfect example of a judge feeling (being full of) himself --- way too much power
ALL of the adults that were there and didn’t speak up for this child should ALL be sued and lose their positions. Poor child wasn’t protected by any adult there. I hope his temporary suspension is permanent
All of em! I’m so mad…
He said, scared straight, that should tell you where his mind was at.. He couldn't separate good kids from bad kids because of race .
@@Ramonafloyd This!! It’s infuriating!
@@Ramonafloydyep scared into not having normal bodily physiological needs?
Wayyy too much! Glad you’re covering it!
Imagine being THAT sensitive to someone nodding off. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Hey boo! I see this story has upset you as well. Listening to the way this judge was speaking about this situation, the way he was so invested in punishing a teenage girl and his thirst to see her humiliated and the fact that he stood by his actions, he makes me sick to my stomach. In my humble opinion, his actions are akin to a p*do.
@@TheKittsPajamas Heyyyy I love a good crossover 😆 Yes, I agree 100 percent! I commented on Erica Dinero’s page that when I was re-telling my daughter the story, it made me cry. I was so mad! Erica dragged him to hell tho lol She also mentioned something about the judge reaching out to the teen to be “a mentor” to her!? The audacity! 🤬
@@Lexx1192Oh yea I saw Erica’s too! She went all the way in, as she should. She gave all the emotions and words that were sitting on my chest weighing me down. The absolute audacity. That man is sick.
@@TheKittsPajamas 💯💯💯 infuriating!
Definitely Ego, definitely Bias, if not just age bias but possibly racial bias (Yes, even though the judge was black). Judge was making assumptions about the girl's conduct, the conduct of the children in general, and the whole private situation going on. I feel like it really is a lesson about the assumptions we make and the biases we have.
…age bias, racial bias, gender bias!
Definitely racial bias
I hate it when people throw their sense of ownership around by saying crap like, "MY courtroom!" Ughhhh 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Anti-Blackness is a sickness in the Black Community. He went above and beyond on purpose**. This level of egotism is a huge red flag. Who does he think he is?
black girls/women are going to be targeted even more when Kamala Harris becomes the president. Smh. The haters are going to be in full effect.
It’s giving disturbing pdo-adjacent predator…
I felt that too-it’s a grown man being so hyper-aggressive to a young girl (including making her take her clothes off and change semi-publicly).
@@a_paradoxfunction4156 Exactly! And then is reaching out to her to see if he can mentor her?????!!!! 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 I hope they get a restraining/protective order against him!
@@a_paradoxfunction4156 Precisely! You get it! Then he was reaching out to her to ask if he can mentor her????? 🚩🚩 I hope her mom files for a protective order.
Remove him from the bench. This is a terrible abuse of power. Who gives the fuck what the judge doesn't like, he is there to interpret the law.
The lack of advocacy for her by an adult in that moment is disheartening to say the least. Folks can be so complacent with mistreatment right in front of them
You are spot on. He may even think nobody cares because she is black.. Then the disgusting okey doke, “I called the family and asked them if they wanted him to mentor her. What??? smh. Would never leave my child or anyones else’s alone with this guy.. Its weird.
He never apologized!
No, but he did offer to be her "mentor." Gtfoh. The family declined, thank goodness.
Because he still doesn't see himself as wrong. He's a lost cause, highlighted further by his audacious offer to mentor someone he literally traumatized, because obviously that would be a wonderful idea🙄
Narcissists are never wrong
Any case that he has ruled needs to be reviewed. Wow.
See, that is a HUGE reason why I can't watch those judge tv shows... it plays to their ego, and there shouldn't be sarcasm/comedy when it comes to a person's justice
This.
@KarenHunterShow This is not okay and the judge needs to be removed.
Judge "Joe Brown Jr" thought he was going to get a standing ovation for his behavior.
He also probably thought those kids were in a Scared Straight program field trip and wanted to show out.
Trump fell asleep at his OWN TRIAL. This girl was on a boring field trip and fell asleep.
This judge should have fallen on his sword and apologized profusely ... maybe the Attorney General and Governor of the state need to make a phone call to this judge.
Her Advocates failed her. You’re right! The adults should’ve removed her from the court room once the Judge was aware and made his comments. I feel that her support knew about her home life and knew she may not been her full self that day.
All he did was give her a lesson in adults with fragile egos, especially when it comes to kids. And abuse of power in action. He could’ve led with empathy and wondered why this kid was so tired. But no, he decided to interpret her tiredness as attitude and disrespect. And even if was just that, is there a law that would lead to what happened? He did too much smh.
I feel that all of the adults in that courtroom should be sued as well🤬
Get that attorney, and get him outta that position. He's destroying the very little faith that people have in the judicial branch
How traumatizing for the little girl. She's going to school, working, doing civic work, and work. This is absolute misogynoir: He interpreted her sleeping as having an attitude. That man is disgusting.
@10:13 Exactly Calvin! That was my first thought! Did none of the program staff step in? And I feel like it shows a lack of intelligence on the judge's part because it's like you have no other thought of "recourse" than throwing people in jail? Like you said, people be blinded by ego and power.
Well unfortunately she learned a lesson much earlier than she wanted to about the judicial system, it is corrupted and ego driven.
He is still cocky with it, he is disgusting. “Attitude” is such a dog whistle that Black women are impacted by. I also would like to shine a light on colorism too. The girl appears to be dark skin, I wonder if the harshness of his behavior would have been the same if she were light skin.
I would look into his previous court decisions, his judgement is very very very off.
I definitely think it was colorism. He should be fired.
I was appalled that they took my children at age 7 and 10 to see a court system including showing them a jail without my permission and all my life growing up in another country I have never seen the inside if a police station or jail.
He just traumatized her forever from this one moment. This feels like a bad cartoon
And when she grows up and becomes an adult, this moment will only make her bitter and cold toward all judges.
Be kind you never know what someone is going through 😢.
This story definitely pissed me off! That Judge should be acknowledging that he was wrong and apologizing to the young girl. And, to make amends, go into his bank account and take out enough to give that child & her mother first, last and security deposit to go rent an apartment somewhere. It’s not my idea, Funky Dineva said it and I agree with it. It’s definitely a way that he could show remorse for his actions.
Yes. But he has no remorse.
I read about this….this black judge would have never done this to a teenager of “no color” #Sick
Wow…
Taking this child into custody for falling asleep would be akin to arresting the judge for having a bald head. It can’t be helped!
Funny I was at court last week and a man next to me fell asleep and the bailiff just made him go out to the waiting area, I’m sure this wasn’t the first time someone fell asleep in his court and I doubt he’s making ppl go put on a jumpsuit
Exactly. The difference is she was a young black girl. She was prey.
@@TheKittsPajamasblack girls/women are going to be targeted even more when Kamala Harris becomes the president. Smh. The haters are going to be in full effect.
Y’all this also made me think of Calvin’s podcast episode where had the kids play court at his youth center. Instead of placing this unreasonable punishment on the little girl who took some candy, he had the kids play a judge, jury, attorneys, witnesses, etc. It was hysterical, but it just made me think of how the judge missed an opportunity to make the field trip interactive and fun for the students much like Calvin did. Instead, the judge chose to demonstrate tyranny and ego. 🤦🏾♀️
Clearly, the Judge’s agenda was to show how much power he could wield. The whole exercise was about him… HIS respect… HIS courtroom… HIS power! He’s lost whatever respect anyone may have had for him trying to showboat.
I am looking at this so called judge talk about a child’s attitude? She was not there to be scared straight, she was there on a field trip. Fire his azz and I hope he never judges anything ever again.
I wonder if colorism is also at play here. He assumed the worse of her over nothing. Using a minor to make an example of is insane. 🤦🏽♀️
Exactly. I'm a teacher and these kids are hungry, have low blood sugar, undiagnosed mental health, narcolepsy, etc.
That’s what I was thinking too. I’m pretty sure it did. Very sad and pathetic of this judge.
The fact she is a dark skin black girl has everything to do with it. It would've never be done to a white girl falling asleep in his court room. I also fault all the adults present who didn't step in to stop this.
I'm pretty sure, I would bet, that he wouldn't have done it to a white child or to Trump if he was the presiding judge in Trump's recent case where they say he fell asleep plenty of times
That's what I think.
the court sexually assaulted this child for simply falling asleep! she was not only verbally assaulted but forced to strip in front of adults. And putting her in a room being filmed while she removed the rest of her clothes is just as egregious. The judge is not the only one at fault but also all the adults that watched and participated in this assault
This is y I like bro's vids ..he brings receipts, facts and figures to the table when he shows up for dinner discussions 😂😂😂
Judge is a total disgrace, should have been fired already.
This makes me wonder how many people will come forward as videos float around showing his abuse of power in other situations. From what I’ve found out, the teenage girl is experiencing homelessness, works, and is an honor student. That judge immediately assumed the worst and showed just his lack of ability to JUDGE someone’s character.
That judge needs to be humbled and made an example. So many judges, at all levels, have abused their authority. This goes to show, yet again, why there needs to be a judicial oversight and integrity authority managed by an independent board of citizens
👩🏼⚖️ all kin folks not kin folks 👩🏼⚖️❤️🖤💚 This judge should be reprimanded. Criminals get treated better than this. Shame on you judge. No crime was committed arrogant full of himself. 👩🏼⚖️👩🏼⚖️🤷
Thanks for sharing this story. I didn't know about it. I definitely agree with you that the judges ego was at play, along with some internalized racism add misogyny. People in power who are working with young people should have experience with working with youths. I wonder if that judge has children. I hope this young lady gets the help and support she'll need to get past this traumatic ordeal, on top of being homeless, it's a lot for such a young person to be dealing with. I wish her and her family all the best🙏🏾
If he has children they are likely emotionally abused
I just wonder if she was a envelopian-colored child, if the judge would respond the same way.
No. He wouldn't have been this abrasive, abusive AH had she been White.
Falling asleep is disrespectful? Disgraceful⚠️🚫⚖️
Great point of views! This was a power struggle between a man feeling like he’s losing control of the room and a teen who was cranky because she just woke up. The teac chaperones should have been the mediators.
I seem to remember a certain politician falling asleep during his actual trial and he did not get this level of a reaction. Definitely doing too much!
This judge truly overstepped his bounds. He was hot headed and misuse of power. He needs to be sued and along with the county this judge represents.
Last I read he was removed from the bench. King knew that he was the wrong complexion to power trip.
Ego. Bingo!!! That Judge 's Ego was way too much out in front. Then he brought her peers into it! This a child on a field trip, not a repeat offender! This judge was all into his feelings. A mature adult would have brought her aside and talk with her privately. Instead, He involves her peers in his shaming her. What a bully! He clearly wasn't exercising critical thinking. It is appalling to think he is a judge overseeing cases! He owes her a public apology and to pay for any therapy she may need for this traumatic event he caused. He was way out of pocket.
Right on brother😊❤❤❤
Absolutely disgusting!
This story brings me back to being in a similar situation. I was arrested for stealing a tube of Neosporin. First judge continued it. The second time I appeared in front of a judge, I could tell he was upset at me. This was in MS and the buses stop early. I kept looking at the clock and when I turned around, the Judge was looking at me. A store rep wasn't present, so my case should've been thrown out, but it wasn't. That Judge felt some kind of way, so he did what he wanted not what should've been done.
I hope that Detroit has a way to recall this judge and take him off of the bench.
Great commentary on this topic, excellent!!!
Lady lawyer up and sue. Lady you just won the lottery. This is a serious lawsuit. If you win you can buy that house you need.
I seriously appreciate what you’re doing here. A gentle hand is what trouble youths need. I love your insight.
We need to send the judge this video to prevent situations like this
He'd probably delete the video or destroy it because he's an AH.
I live in Detroit and have seen the additional footage of this judge's arrogance and ego, when, instead of apologizing and admitting to any wrongdoing, he offered to mentor the girl, in which the mother wisely rejected.
So instead of taking her aside and asking what might be wrong he puts her in handcuffs and threatens jail? WTELF is wrong with people?? Compassion is apparently a lost art.
