Outrage In Maryland Over Video Of Police Handcuffing 5-Year-Old | NBC Nightly News
I think the mom is the one that should be sued, I am just saying. I am sick of my people not talking responsibility, she was there supporting the officer and now she wants to sue.
Oh please, Kids are out of control
Where is the father?
HES FIVE! WHY ARE THE POLICE BEATING HIM! THERE NOT PUNCHING THE KID BUT DUDE COME ON COPS YOUR A COP AND HES A KID!
None of these people should be parents
What's Next charging a six-month-old baby was murder the police are getting out of hand they should Disband the police Department all together
She filed a lawsuit but she was there that woman , she encouraged them to abuse her kid , disgraceful
WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE> WTF. AMERICA HAS TO DO BETTER!!!!!!
If this is The land of the free and the home of the brave I never want to visit your country. Beautiful police state
MN 4 YR OLD Sebastian Drives 🚚 to gas station by himself. Look at the difference in treatment. They should be fired end of story!!!
Police men should go to jail
Wtf
Never treat a child like this!!!
This IS HORRIFIC!
I didnt see that the police did anything wrong. The woman trooper shouldnt hav screamed n his face but the handcuff issue….they acted as they should hav & the parent should learn ways of discipline
Acab
And you wonder why children grow up hating police!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Traumatized and abused, scarred for life!!!!
They think just because they’re black and he’s black that it’s OK to treat the little boy that way!!! WRONG!!!
all involved should be charged with child abuse , wtf is going on in America ? is it now a police state ?
This needs to be on Dr Phil
That cop is an absolute disgrace to the uniform and you can obviously see how he would treat his own five-year-old children I feel so sad for anybody in that man’s life he’s obviously a very large bully the child is 5! OMG and to see a female officer screaming back at a child like that no wonder no wonder people don’t trust American police!!! ðŸ’â€
These officers all need to be fired
Basically this kid has no chance in life…
My nephew is three I can’t imagine the police yelling and and putting hand cuffs on him for a tantrum. At that age what harm could a little boy do to grown adults. They are children and this is disgusting. Leaving the parenting to his parents. He was clearly afraid and acting out in fear
How can the mother file a law suit when she allowed them to put handcuffs on him! She can be heard saying "Do you wanna go where Uncle Berto at?" I think this just a case of people not understanding how to parent! Both the two officers and the mother and anyone else that sat by and allowed this to happen! If this was my son I would have told the school I was taking him home for my own conversation. Don't allow others to parent your kid if you don't know or trust them!
Poor baby was traumatized!!
They should be FIRED!! FIRED!!!
Who knows what he could be going thru in school if he acting out it’s for a reason 💯 he could be getting bullied
Who is helping the black child these cops have forgotten their childhood.
That child needs Love with discipline. Those cops need much prayer. What kind world are we living in when you treat a 5 year old like a grown criminal. Help us Jesus. The mom needs to protect her son not say destructive, abusive words or go along with the untrained cops. Those cops should be getting arrested themselves.
