  1. The poor kid was crying because he was lost. He didn't know where he lived. How was he going to find his way home without help? He told a cop he was lost and asked for help. The cop told him 'Don't worry, son, it'll be okay, we'll figure out where you live and drive you home. Hop in the car and we'll put your bike in the back.'

  2. I know his peoples! CLASSIC!

  3. In addition to everything else wrong with this video, cops REALLY need to learn to stop putting their fingers/hands in people's faces when they're copsplaining. Incredibly disrespectful.

  4. Stop instigating.
    Blacks care when white cops are involved.
    But dead silent when they kill each other left and right.

  5. Thank you with all my heart to the gentleman trying to help this little, scared boy..

  6. Texas is unique because I had the worst mass shooting ever happened in Texas was done by law enforcement the ATF in Waco. They knew they shouldn’t have burned all those children alive so they apologized for it.

  7. Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen a kid arrested like this before. Usually the store holds them & calls the cops & parents & then a discussion is held. Never seen a kid hauled off over a bag of chips. Ever. Seems a bit extreme. Plus, cops aren't allowed to question minors without the presence of parents.

  8. This is disgusting pathetic and pitiful and a disgrace to mankind and mankind when you have grown men with guns who target and attack women children the elderly and disabled you have a force of cowardly people unlike anything on the planet not in Russia or China whose really the evil empire

  9. "I cant breathe!" Yeah stupid screaming at the cops works great! Should've wrapped his loud ass up too they could've shared the cruiser together.

  10. UPDATE: (According to NewsChannel 9 WSYR Syracuse) Since this incident took place, the boy who was not charged or arrested in this incident, but was simply escorted home, is now facing criminal charges for a separate incident in which he allegedly stole a bike. I guess he didn't learn his lesson.

  11. They cops should have called the guy out on the money . I bet he did not have a dime to his name .

  12. In my day, they would cut off your hand and send you on your way.

  13. I can’t with the cuacasity of these comments

  14. Zero accountability culture is strong in certain communities, hence the absent fathers.

  15. Arrest him for obstruction of Justice, The child was not beaten on, Ignorance still exist.

  16. He looks like a baby too me, Wow, Raise your own 8 mommas children so they will not do this. Or get caught.

  17. This bystander is beyond ignorant, and very likely part of the reason these kids behave like little maniacs.

  18. Getting caught stealing isn't supposed to be comforting.

  19. eAnd the other little boy says it not him!Cop said if he broke in your house!

  20. Why is this even a thing? Cops caught a kid stealing. Took him home to his father. This is such a non-story. Oh, but he was black… so racism! Come on man!

  21. This has been protocol for years, kids steal (break the law) they get brought down to the station and their parents have to pick them up.

  22. LOOK AT THESES RACIST PIGSSSS!!! And to think these racist pigs can implement social changes and Relationships in the community abroad.

  23. These officers need to remember that this is not an adult. This is a CHILD. No empathy whatsoever. How would they feel if that was their 10 year old?

  24. Whether or not you agree with him, you have to admit: This man's moral outrage and dedication is admirable. "I'll pay for 'em!" "I'll take him home! I know his people!" 🤣

  25. HE STOLE! This is why so much trouble is going on….make him pay for his crime. This is why we have so much crap going on in Syracuse! No parents taking responsibility for their damn kids. My father would have made sure I didn't get into trouble again!

  26. ALL COPS MUST FRICKIN DIE
