In an interview, the black kid mentioned something to the effect that the incident was traumatizing to him and has impacted him mentally. Whether true damages or not, I expect he will get some sort of settlement. I also suspect both officers will at least be suspended, and possibly be fired or resign.
He didn't seem 'traumatized' when he smacked the white kid's hand away.
Again, the cuffing of the black kid was in no way inappropriate. He wasn’t injured, and his civil rights weren’t violated. Being “traumatized” over being cuffed as a result of a fight isn’t going to get him a check.
Nothing will happen to the officers, as they did nothing wrong.
I know you keep repeating this, and I’m not saying you are wrong. I just personally believe he will end up receiving a settlement and I believe both cops will be disciplined.
No matter what evidence you keep repeating, you will not change my opinions on this. We will just have to wait and see what happens….
Given there were other teens there and given the fight didn't start until after some jawing between the two boys I'm surprised additional video footage hasn't surfaced. Plenty of time for kids to whip out their cell phones and start recording.
I still don’t understand why the male officer went after the black kid in that situation. It makes no sense to handcuff the person that’s being attacked first.
The images speak for themselves... It is no wonder that blacks have increasingly elected representatives who are undermining the police in their municipalities, taking away investments, reducing the number of new police officers.... If 13% of the population of a country You can't trust your security forces... this nation is doomed to decline and an unprecedented scale of violence. The American police need to regain the respect and appreciation of the black American population if they want to survive as an institution... because if this continues, they will tend to lose more and more.

From a public relations perspective the optics of a black child protecting a younger smaller child being cuffed for 30 minutes while the white child who was harassing the smaller child is not handcuffed is really poor. A lot of people don’t like children being treated that way and public servants answer to the public. Like the police you appear to see the white kid as a good kid and the black kid as a criminal regardless of the actual circumstances.That is emotionally traumatizing for the black child. Somebody is gonna write check.

When evidence of that becomes available, let it become part of the conversation.

Quote what I’ve said that leads you to that nonsensical, unsupported conclusion.

This your quote. Please explain how this quote relates to the subject at hand regarding the white kid and the black kid.
“Let me ask you, if you come upon a group that by all outward appearances appear to be thugs, would you assess a greater likelihood of thug behavior from them compared to encountering another group that by all outward appearances are on their way to church choir practice?
You call it ‘race role conditioning,’ I call it an important survival skill.”

It was an example related to the “race role conditioning” comment. It had nothing to do with the instant case.
RIF, as well as the ability to actually understand what one reads. . .
I haven’t written a single thing that a reasonable person could interpret as “black boy bad, white boy good.”
