Look how tall that kid is!

@@TheFutbol22 He matched the description. Period.

He fit the description of the suspect they were looking for.

Lol

@nuttybar9 no he didn't he had on diffre t cloths ,diffrent height ,diffrent age. Skin color is the only thing that matched. Once again a white adult lieing on a child to justify a racist system. It's sick.

​@@nuttybar9Only thing description he dit is that he was black but these are the same cops that took pictures with the men who tried ro kidnap the state'a governor

True, but you can't lie. It's like they set the cops up 😂 the guy they were looking for, and lil man got matching outfits!!

Really but blkgangs blkkids shooting other kids isn't traumatizing, shit or get off the pot

Looking at how tall he is, you wouldn't be able to tell he's 12 y/o as his at first glance.

@sbsk2526 Maybe, but once the cops got up close, they should have realized he's just a kid. The guy they were looking for just had matching outfits

@@augustineacevedo37 you do know kids do commit crimes too, not just adults...

He was at a wrong place wrong time because the time was when the suspect was there, and it was at that same apartments, not to mention similar clothing? Its an unfortunate wrong place & the wrong time.

Police were in the wrong place and wrong time

You know.. If his kind had a brain they would stop commiting crimes and police wouldnt need to do there job.

@@comedianpottymouth They're doing there job... Go tell your people to stop commiting crimes and police wouldnt need to go looking for suspects right?

Right? That was poorly worded instead of manning up to the wrong doing, they tried to justify it.

WTF…..Watching this as a brown man from Europe this is so obviously racism. What was the identity of person he was mistaken for-another 12 year old prowling cars? The police approached the situation with weak info from dispatch, ready to violate his rights and with arrest in mind whatever. The kid, yes…kid was always guilty before any investigation and quickly in cuffs. Disgusting

He's not a cop, he's an SS soldier of the American Gestapo

What your saying makes to much sense. They don't function like that. They want to arrest and give each other high 5s.

Stupid. His kind commited a crime and police just doing there job. Dont commit crimes?

And they were doing there job.... Maybe if his kind wasnt out stealing cars cops wouldnt need to go looking for a suspect?

@@StillKeepOnLosing You are such a little SHEEPY bleating the same nonsense!!!

Diffrent cloths, diffrent height,diffrent weight. Same skin color. I Agree with u tho u are right.

He saw a child.

Intelligence is not the strong suit of Lansing police, just sayin .

He grabbed the next one, because he let the suspect get away, which also means he knew what that suspect was wearing!!!

It's there job. Safety first.... What people like you dont understand is if his kind wasnt out commiting crimes then cops wouldnt need to go looking for suspects. Right?

No, that doesn't occur when you have a potentially violent criminal on the loose who can be holding a weapon like a gun and can shoot within milliseconds of the cop coming out of the car. In order to show reasonable threat of force the police pulls out his gun (not aiming it at the boy) to show the suspect that he can potentially harm him if he chooses to retaliate and shoot him. THere are COUNTLESS examples, where a criminal feels cornered and takes out his gun to start shooting at police. It is proven over thousands of cases that pulling out your gun or having your hand on your gun gives you milliseconds of a jump start to point and aim your firearm at a criminal who chooses to shoot at you. Calling for his parents is ridiculous. How the hell would the police know his parents are right there in the apartment at the time of the scene? Only YOU know that because you just sat and watched a video giving you all the evidence of the case. There is no way a normal police surveying an area should just automatically know that a suspect is underage, innocent, and has his parents waiting a few steps away without treating each potential unpredictable situation the same regardless of age, build or race. Learn how to think for longer than 5 seconds and THINK about what actually is involved with life threatening police work.

12 year old child* not 15.

The only lives that are being threatened are citizens by cops. Police saw a young black kid and profiled him thinking he was up to know good . That's a B's excuse about car theft. Cope threaten more lives than there's are being threatened.

He's not 15 He's 12!

12 year old child

I see them as an enemy of the people and an occupying force.

@@JonBroun 💯 I don't know if your black but this has always been the perception in a majority of predominantly black communities.. if you look at the history of the police you'll see why we would feel this way.. I know there's going to be a documentary about it I think it might be on Hulu

Love how the lying chief calls the 12-year-old a man and how they modified the images to make the child look as tall as a man, total BS, they always ask for height and weight on a 911 call, and when that tape is released, it won't be a little child's weight or height

​@@turtletruth Qualified Immunity and the Unions that support them must be dismantled.

Yeah so I was stopped by a Cop before when the person he were looking for didn't even look like me ,Matter of fact she was a different sex and weighed a 100 pounds less than me.

@@nuttybar9 it's sad. I never thought I'd experience it.

Always record ANY interaction you might have with law enForcement. Good for you for recording that.

@@tanucci733 yes thanks

You sound like your talking out your behind... Go tell his people to stop commiting crimes and this wouldnt happen.

The kid was wearing the same neon green shorts are the perp who ran off in that same neighborhood. Wtf you expect them to do just let a suspect go because he's matching similar description to not be pointed out as racially profiling? Newsflash, it's ok to racially profile if the criminal is black as well and is seen wearing similar clothes and in the same neighborhood as another black boy.

True

Obviously a grown male? You can see his face that well to tell huh? Lol. You people make me laugh with your internet forensics. The detention to ensure that the suspect is in fact truly apprehended is normal protocol. Gun is drawn because knowing the suspect is actively being searched the police understand that when cornered criminals have a tendency to "fight or flight". If the suspect had already ran away there's a chance if he's caught again he can put up a fight to ensure he isn't arrested. Just 5 minutes of thinking instead of reacting with some knee jerk race bait will do you justice

@NicooRico look at the size of the suspect in the photo, no way in hell you cops mistook that child for a suspect. Either way, pulling a gun on a 12 yr old is wrong on so many levels. Only a sociopath or a psychopath would pull a gun on a child that small.

@@AlcideIzMine No, it's really not.

@@jenkor513you're going to play internet CSI by a grainy, blurry photo and invalidate a cop's justification for ensuring all suspects in the area are confirmed until the dangerous criminal is caught? First off, if you listened to the story, there was only ONE cop on the other side of the neighborhood that SAW the real perp in the neon green and white shirt. The cop who saw this young boy did not see the original criminal, so all he really had to go off of was that he had neon green shorts and was black. How the hell is he supposed to know hold old the perp was compared to this boy? You do realize the description they give over the radio is also just a best case estimate of what they see at the time right? So even if the first cop stated, he's an adult male, he could have very well misjudged his age and it could have been a teenager instead. The second cop did not have a picture to verify the perps age or build. ONLY YOU have the advantage of sitting behind your screen and make post judgements about what the cop should do or not do well after you have the facts of the case. It's not so easy when you're actually on the ground and working a live case not knowing who has a gun or how unpredictable they can get if cornered and they feel the need to escape from the situation. Secondly, he didnt aim the gun at the boy, He pulled it out of his holster IN CASE, that was the real perp and he decided to act irrationally and shoot the cop instead. By pulling the gun out of the holster first, the cop has milliseconds ahead of the potential perp they are trying to arrest. Those few milliseconds are a LIFETIME if you have a potential shooter on your hands. And this is basic knowledge from the various cases that you can easily research yourself where criminals attack police when they have located them by surprise.

​@@NicooRicoAre you on meth or Fentynol? He is clearly a CHILD, and the other is clearly an adult male. Tf? The little boy looks like a child.

Cuz his people out stealing cars near where he was... Common sense. Just like it's commin sense to not commit a crime... smh

@StillKeepOnLosing It's not common since to just arrest "anybody" for a crime that "somebody" committed!

Civil asset forfeiture! Police can legally rob us of cash. Steve lehto just did a video on it. The whole government is corrupt as hell from the bottom to the top and both sides!

Irrelevant to whether the stop was good or not. Damn even with those pictures and the description of the circumstances people are acting like drama queens with no brains. How do you think policing and searching for a suspect works? This was actually handled very professionally by the book and well. Turning this into more than it was makes it more traumatic. How does that help the kid unless the family and some lawyers just want to make some money. I'm glad the father interceded for his son but now he's making it worse.

They owe the kid so what's the problem?

No they don't owe nothing

They violated his rights and your mad at a kid. Your not american at all. Ypur a nazi. There are consequences to violating citizens rights. Yes they owe him and they know it.

If a cop can't tell the difference between a child and a grown man, they should not be cops.

I laughed because they blame police instead of one of his kind out and about stealing cars... Dont commit crimes and police wouldnt need to go out looking for suspects?

@@StillKeepOnLosing Respectfully, are you that ignorant?? It’s not about being biased, at the end of the day this is about right and wrong! No one is excusing unlawful bad behavior & committing crimes- obvi anyone of any age &/or any background that is involved in unlawful bad behavior and criminal activity should obviously atone for their actions! No one is unnecessarily pulling the race card, no one is marinating in victim hood. That was not the point of my comment 🙄, so miss me with the BS of twisting my comment into something that is not. You act like in this situation, the child & the family have no right to be outraged and questioning everything. This is a highly disrespectful & traumatizing experience to endure. If this was a personal experience , you would prob change your tune. People are tired of this type of situation, it’s not OK to normalize this type of situation, and the fam have every right to be upset & express their frustration, hell even pursue legal action! Even if footage was released, probably would corroborate the bad decision making & embarrassment of the officers- the dept should properly & personally apologize ( not just issuing a public statement/apology, and not addressing the family privately and directly), plus there needs to be some retraining. Like I said, even in law enforcement, there’s a proper way to asses & handle this type of situation- this was not it! It’s not always an act first/ think- question later situation. This young man was calm, spoke very eloquently, articulate, and is intelligent- do you think that if they actually logically approached him to properly assess the situation, to confirm if he actually fit the profile, that he would’ve ended up like this in handcuffs? More than likely not… Obviously they have to do their job and inquire if someone fits a profile, but if they actually did their job the properly- discover & absorb he’s under age- at his residence of all places- emptying the trash 😳, they should’ve connected with his parents to go from there- before just detaining a child- in which it spiraled & escalated into this circus! With that comes logic, intelligence, and proper training- which these officers are clearly lacking. There is a clear difference between this young boy VS a grown ass man, regardless of similar outfit. In this situation, the racial bias was clear ( “ well they both look similar & outfit similar”) smh! … Generally, a suspect on the run-who committed a crime within the same day-in the same clothes- wouldn’t be even more stupid to be so out in the open- this calm & nonchalant- wouldn’t you think they would be lowkey in hiding? … The situation is horrible and their actions are ridiculous, these officers need to do better period! In this type of situation, it’s very clear how things should’ve been handled, so miss me & move on with your close-minded “whatabout-isms” & ignorance… 🙄

You sweet summer child. So naive.

does it not appear they were wearing the same clothing?

Improper use of a quote. Who has blind belief? The video shows that the police did the least violent thing possible to ensure their safety and the boy's safety was protected. While also navigating an unpredictable situation as he could have been the perp they were trying to locate. I would hate for you to try and figure out what you would do if you have to locate this neon green shorts boy that was on the loose.

@@NicooRico First off, intelligent caring people don't become cops!
