11 year old Black girl arrested for falsely stealing a car

Also a nice way to start off 2025 for her lawyer who’ll take a big cut, and I’m sure a Go Fund Me is in the works for her parents’ lost wages and the “stress” of the situation.

Settlement courtesy of us taxpayers, via the dumb cops. Yes, the cops should have more education and be better… but who else is going to do it? We’re stuck with the few stupid individuals who agree to go into law enforcement.

(I’m not mocking the legitimate fear and stress that this CHILD has endured… just commenting on what a joke our law enforcement is and how everyone takes a tragedy and turns it into personal gain and nothing will change).

Force police pension funds to pay settlements and you'll see a lot of better policing real fast

This is a not uncommon experience for Black children unfortunately.

Experiments, including one by the APA, have shown that White people often think Black children are much older than they really are. Even if the child is small for their age and dressed in an age appropriate manner. Add in racial bias by cops and you have a situation like this.

It’s not “racial bias by cops” if the description is a black female in a pink coat and they detain someone found nearby who is a black female in a pink coat for questioning. Not saying the cops (or anyone else) are perfect but in this case it’s hard to see what they did wrong. Unfortunately kids that age really are stealing cars. That’s what you should have a problem with, not the cops trying to stop it.

How do you get an 11 year old confused with a grown woman? Having a pink jacket was the only thing the suspect and the girl had in common. Are you saying that any middle schooler who has a growth spurt should be automatically assumed to be a car thief because “kids that age really are stealing cars”? I’ve never heard of 11 year olds stealing cars in droves.

This isn’t policing, it’s harassment. This family will have a nice lawsuit from this. You don’t go around handcuffing kids because of lazy policing.

I’m not here to defend anyone, but if the description was a black female in a pink jacket and this 11-year-old matched the description then I don’t fault the police for questioning her. I’m very sorry for this particular girl because she wasn’t the car thief.

But let’s not sit here behind our keyboards and pretend like 11, 12 and younger kids aren’t out there stealing cars, and yes in droves. A few years ago I wouldn’t believed it but here we are today. In Montgomery County we have a serial car thief that is only 12 years old, so age is not a determining factor for car thieves anymore.

There will be no settlement.

Also, it's not "adulting" to say that Black children mature more quick than white children.

Yes, I'm sure those cops were well aware of a study showing that black girls get there periods on average 3 months earlier than white girls. That's definitely a more reasonable explanation than racism.

He tried to make her say that was her that's how police always do make people give false statements to make them look good because they're too lazy to actually do the job

I'd agree if the local cops could point to even a single instance of them putting a white 11 year old in handcuffs when the description was white woman

I’m sorry, but this is a stupid comment. This has nothing to do with this 11 year-old girl.

Disagree. The suspect is an adult and this kid is a CHILD. a kid wearing a backpack walking peacefully from school with her child-aged cousin. How can they think a child walking down the street with another child is a car thief?

She was in handcuffs. Detained, arrested, whatever. A 11 year old girl should not be in handcuffs over a car that she can’t drive nor was even present.

Given that 10-12 years have been involved in carjacking, I think you are naive.

IOW, only loons are outraged.

Especially a white 11 year old girl walking home from school with a backpack on and talking to her cousin (who is also a child with a backpack on).
