[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read through 37 pages of comments but I’ve read a lot of them. Do any of you realize that this is a cultural thing.

Black parents discipline their children differently than whites do in fact you can hear the mother say that. Both officers are black so[b] it’s basically a black cultural discussion[/b]. As someone else said if everyone involved had been white you never would have heard of it.

Jawando, who has his own agenda to gain higher office, pushed his friend Chief Jones for a year to release this tape. Joe’s finally did with pressure from the CE. Jawando, who was rejected by MCPD years ago, will do anything to make the police department look bad. It’s as simple as that.[/quote]

There are many, many layers here, but this was not a frickin "cultural discussion." This was completely unacceptable abuse of power by the cops.

If everyone were white you would have ABSOLUTELY heard about this long ago and heads would have already rolled. But of course it would have been less likely to happen to a white child, specifically, in the first place. These officers being black-- but especially being police-- knew also that they could get away with a lot more with a black child.

Love to see people claim no racism-- and even no abuse!!-- was involved simply because the abuser and the victim were both POC.

Now THAT is racist.[/quote]

The discussion was inappropriate.  It was the cops and mom chatting and laughing it up.  The police should have calmly got down at the child's level with a firm voice and said when they have to get called for a child misbehaving its very serious.  He could have been hit by a car, kidnapped or hurt without adult supervision.  Its not ok to behave that way and if something is wrong at school, he needs to tell his parent for the police so they can help him.  And, highlight that hitting teachers and kids is not ok.  Destroying property is not ok and when he gets older they will not just bring him back to mom but arrest him and send him to jail or a youth detention facility.

I wonder if mom engaged so she could set them and the school up as if that was my child I'd take my child and leave after apologizing to the school and trying to get my child to apologize.  The child wasn't fighting anyone.  I have to wonder what is really going on as he was compliant for the most part.  He either has SN, mental health issue, hungry, learning disability where he is struggling with academics and getting frustrated and is not getting the help he needs or something else.  No one is taking the time to figure it out.  It sounded though as if mom was partly to blame and not consenting to more supports as she thought he was fine.[/quote]
