Police union draws fire over swearing toddler 'thug' video

The diapered child is bombarded with obscenities and racial slurs by the adults around him.

The African-American toddler knocks down a chair and gives nearly as good as he gets, responding to some of the comments with an upraised middle finger and telling one of the adults at one point, "Shut up, bitch." The adults laugh and prompt him to repeat other crudities. Just another day on the Internet -- until the police union in Omaha, Nebraska, posted the clip on its website to highlight what it called the "cycle of violence and thuggery" the community faces.

Now, the Omaha Police Officers' Association is under fire from the city's police chief, the ACLU and at least one community leader. They say the move needlessly antagonizes the city's minority communities, who make up about a quarter of Omaha's 409,000 residents.

Just holding up a mirror. Nobody likes what they see. Nobody.

Go here and see what the poster (allegedly the boy's uncle) has say about it.

Yeah, truth hurts.

(fair notice: the video at the link above is raw with no editing. NSFW)

Notice it is an unseen young man who is feeding words and phrases to the baby to repeat. The baby is simply trying to please his elders; he has no idea what he is repeating, only that the older male is pleased with his responses. The women are silent, making no effort to stop the man from teaching this filth to the baby. Are they afraid of him?

I wouldn't down the Cosby show so quickly. It was what most people think one should aspire to. Stable, successful families. Cosby has railed against the breakdown of the black family and the thuggish behavior you see now. Don't see him on TV much anymore do you? They were role models that were rejected by blacks and it's replacement was rap, drugs and hate.

I thought you were. So. You defend those sick individuals who did this to that baby and blame the police for trying to interfere in a chld endangerment issue.

How very libertarian of you.

Uh no. I don’t support that. It wazs my understanding that the police union was using this video for “entertaiment”.

Oh no. Not at all. See the link in post 23. The police had used this a warning and a teaching tool to create awareness of crime in their community. They also notified Child Protective Services.

I think the police acted very wisely here.

Oh. And from that link in post 23.....

The person who originally put the video online claims to be the boy’s uncle. He is not too pleased with folks upset about the toddler’s environment and the adults who surround him.

He responded. (Graphic language not deleted)

“Man **** all of y’all because the matter of the fact is you act like we was giving that little boy weed or we have a gun in his hand or something bitch no! but I put your ass in an orphanage don’t ever talk on my ******* cousin move around with that **** I don’t give a **** about you, the police or these ************* leaving comments on this ************ so therefore all y’all can **** my **** ******!”

Maybe you are right. But given the kindof atmosphere created as of late, they should have reconsidered.

People who made the video are idiots who shouldn’t be reproducing.

Interesting in light of Eric Holder’s statements about biased discipline in schools. We certainly can’t go tellin’ the truth now can we?
