During a press conference, attorney Ben Crump is joined by the parents of Keyon Harrold Jr., who was falsely accused of stealing an iPhone at a NYC hotel. The 14-year-old’s mother Kat Rodriguez says due to racial profiling “this incident could have ended very differently.”

Parents Call For Justice After Black Teen Falsely Accused Of Stealing iPhone At NYC Hotel | NBC News
lmao at 14 in my highschool kids were messing with knives… this 14 yo kid got pushed by a girl… wow big deal. these people are paaathetic
This Kat Rodriguez Harrold is disgusting, just by looking at her.
Where justice for that retired 77 year old African-American Police captain, David Doem, murdered by a BLM looter? Where is justice for that 35 year old veteran woman, Ashlee Babbitt(who was unarmed during the protest in the US Capitol, when she was protesting against Biden's election, not even attacking anyone)?
These are the groups that rioting over 46 year old George Floyd, who died of a meth overdose, and literally shot his ex-girlfriend in the pregnant abdomen back in 2008(severely wounding her along with murdering her unborn baby). Now they are targeting 22 year old Miya Ponsetto, while rioting over 46 year old George Floyd, who's terrible criminal records much worst than Miya Ponsetto's criminal records of drunk driving, fighting with the cops, and trying to grab that phone out of a 6'1 bearded beanie wearing guy who looks like he is in his early 20s in the SoHo Hotel.
Lying Kat Rodriguez Harrold sure got her racist BLM Lawyer, Ben Crump, in the stadium. Not surprise, that Ben Crump was a lawyer for the parents of an 18 year old who assaulted a police officer by the name of Darren Wilson. These are the same group committing riots over criminals, and drug addicts such as George Floyd, and many others.
No Justice is needed, because Keyon Harrold Jr is still alive, not only that, he did not got anyone wounds, nor injuries after that incident, plus, even if it was Miya's phone, or not, Miya was trying to get that phone out of his pocket, she did not even assault him if you look at the footage, no injuries, nor nothing. If anyone where to look at Keyon Harrold Jr, and Miya Ponsetto, Keyon Harrold Jr standing 6'1, while Miya is smaller, you could easily see that Keyon Harrold Jr is physically dominant over the Little Woman, Miya, she wouldn't be capable of taking him down.
I understand what happened but why is she crying tho
It’s the lawyer for me 🤦â€Â♀ï¸Â
What about when their teens attack vulnerable people??? Like local Ice cream men and seniors?? HUH????
Most of the people/kids acting out in NYC look like this family + their lawyers. You can’t blame people who look at them suspiciously.
SMH. So sad, in this world 🌎 made you scared to live.
@keyonharrold is the fathers instagram if you'd like to follow and support
That soho Karen has low IQ you can tell she was so racist
Cry me a river. Of all the violence in New York City, your son isn't special. Every day there are murders, and random attacks. He got roughed up by a girl. The last time I got roughed up by a girl I came. So who really won that one?
a big story about nothing.
I hate that young girl being mean to that 14 years old boy it just shocking wow 😱😱😡😡😡
Here we go so much bs STFU
I hope she does a good deal of time! 😡
C'mon, man! She's just a 22-year-old girl!
What did the incident have to do with racial injustice ? Trump…trauma…what the …passport….?
She needs to be checked
Typical America….black kid gets assaulted..so what? How many white people get assaultes by coloured people? Nothing done…hate how racist card is played!! Glad I'm not American….
BEN CRUMP is the new JOHNNIE COCHRAN
People might think they are overacting but this is not an overaction. Black people have lost their lives over incidences like this. ENOUGH !!
She visiously attacked a helpless little baby and almost killed that innocent loving child over a obama all expense paid cell phone.
What is the lawyer standing there going to do? Did he push hard to get justice for Breonna Taylor? Or did he cop out to get the settlement? I see a settlement again and the woman walking free…
Lock her up
He a gud boy. N ever dun no wrong
That's all black people do talk talk talked filed a lawsuit and stop the talking.

Just to be clear. I like justice to be served APPROPRIATELY in all cases. But, the victims of this 'Karen' incident are making a MOUNTAIN out of a mole hill. Seriously, if you don't like the race card played on you, then why are you playing it now. Ask yourself this simple question, "Would you be suing or pursuing all the EXTRA 'justice', if the woman was Black?" No. Why not? Because the incident would fall under the category of a DRAMATIC MISUNDERSTANDING.
Therefore, the further pursuit of this incident is motivated by lawyers who see an opportunity to EXPOIT the victims for monetary gain. By convincing them that the DRAMATIC MISUNDERSTANDING is bigger than a mole hill, because the 'Karen' was white. Now, that's Black racism, pure and simple.
For those who argue that Black folks cannot be racist, you have been MISEDUCATED. Racism has an Expoiter and a Victim. And if you expoit or deny an opportunity based upon the victims race, you are a racist.
Why did they allow that little woman tackle that big boy to the ground? The video shows that a white looking man grabbed after the boyc while the wild woman pulled him to the ground. I don’t think that was the father. The father was safely behind the camera taking the video. Something isn’t right. They are not showing us the full video.
I would have shown that girl the phone. But that's me I like to make people happy.
Amen That right she was wrong she jump on a child that a felony charge
Because that boy had been white she Wii be charge for felony
Thank u parent's good job
I don’t even have clue what’s going on because I no longer have cable nor do I watch the media. This video so happened to pop up in my feed, which was random because I was listening to worship music to keep my soul calm. I’m going straight back to my worship music. This world we live in is wicked and is ran by Lucifer; Satan the devil!
Karen: Acts a fool and attacks blacks
White/Non-Blacks: who cares turn the other cheek.
Karen: Attacks other races
People: She was having a bad day

Get over it. She was trying to get a phone.
I would just be happy with the stupid look on her face when she realized it wasn’t him. I think they call that “Priceless 
Yes, this white lady tried to blame my 10 yr old black son of stealing her 15 yr old daughter i phone.
Justice needs to be serve
Oh please cry me a River please cry me a whole river
This is not looking like a racial incident. The more info comes out, the more it looks like the women who did this crime is an out-of-control lawbreaker but I don't see anything to establish her motive was race based. And she's not fully white, either.
Had this been the other way around…
The same lawyer always looking for a big Payday , haha not this time.
These people are playing victim role looking for a payday. The lady was wrong. from what I could see. (I want to see hole video to why it got physical). She is a minority herself. She is Puerto Rican,Greek & Vietnamese. She posted over a year ago she has anger issues. So this has nothing to do with race. But of course the dirty SOB Crump lawyer is a scumball. Yes she should be charged with assault from video I saw but would like to see the whole uncut video to make a fair judgment. Not a sliced up one showing just what they want to show. Her name is Miya Taylor Ponsetto a former aspiring actor from California.
If you want to be saved & go to heaven please pray the following prayer: Dear Heavenly Father,
I repent of all my sins, iniquities, & transgressions. I humbly confess that I am a sinner & need your saving grace. I believe Your Son Jesus Christ died on the cross to save me from eternal damnation. I accept Him as my Savior. Please forgive me & accept me into your heavenly kingdom. Amen
Now you'll need to stay in Christ by reading & studying your bible & live for Him everyday. Go to church & keep godly friendships. Pray. Fast. The Lord will give you His holy spirit to comfort you & help you live for Him. He loves you!!!!
