I saw this floating around on Twitter today. Very disturbing. Thought that I would share.
The Silver Spring Police Department released bodycam footage of police harassing and bullying a 5-year old kindergartener who had eloped from the school building. The police ademently told the child's mom IN THE SCHOOL BUILDING that she should beat her child. School admin just sat around and allowed the police to berate the little boy, even HANDCUFFING him and telling him that the "handcuffs will be your best friend". WTF is wrong with this world???
Here is a news article: https://www.fox5dc.com/news/montgomery-county-police-release-bodycam-video-of-incident-involving-5-year-old
Here is the full bodycam video. I am pretty sure that the original video posted by police was taken down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAEc3MuA3bo
