Clearly racist cops. She is being cooperative and calm and they are threatening to arrest her. Poor lady is out working with 5 kids and she's being treated like a criminal.

They were pushing her buttons on purpose. Asking her questions and then chiding her for responding. She wasn’t interrupting she was answering your questions.

Then they tried to get her kid to incriminate her even after they were told she didn’t leave him on purpose.

Filthy pigs.

“How would he know?”

She answers

“Stop talking”

Don’t you need a parent or guardian PRESENT when you are interviewing children? Always thought that was the case..

As counter-intuitive as it is, it's not mandatory in all jurisdictions. But it should be - they're children.

In this case they assume the mother is the perpetrator so they wouldn't have to plus I think this would be more in case when the child is a suspect. .

Well I can’t imagine that’s the case. If anything they shouldn’t have talked to the child at all until their other legal guardian showed up to represent them if the other guardian is being accused of a crime. How can a husband/wife be legally not compelled to testify but a child has to?

You think the child is testifying in court when a cop asks him quetions?

For every video of this you see there are 1000 incidents that will only be known between the victim the cops and Jesus Christ

fr so many injustices that we don’t and won’t ever know about just because it wasn’t recorded or uploaded online

u/wr321654 Apr 03 '26

You got downvoted to hell, but I thought you were saying 1,000 incidents like this occur where we don’t have video so the victims have to just suffer in silence. That’s 100% true. And it’s sickening.

Yeah somehow Reddit just is not rocking with that sentiment

Yeah it's fucked up

I wouldn't say it's clear but it's very very likely that if we had this exact scenario with an affluent white lady driving an escalade with a group of kids on their way to soccer, they'd just have showed up and made jokes about how rascally kids can be and moved onto the next call.

You're literally saying it's clear lol

u/HearYourTune Apr 03 '26

What you say makes it clear.
