ATF officers were allegedly on the scene in Minnesota to arrest a murder suspect when a group of young children approached them. The children sported nothing but their undergarments as they began swearing at and assaulting the officers.
The New York Post reported, The clip released by Alpha News was filmed last week in St. Paul, a city that saw widespread rioting after the nearby police murder of George Floyd and manslaughter of motorist Daunte Wright.
“Shut the f—k up b—-h” the child appearing no more than 5 years old said while he repeatedly grabbed and punched a police officer. He continued on, telling the officer that his boots were “ugly-ass church shoes.”
The officers remained composed and seemed to ignore the group of kids. At one point the kid grabs the officer’s hand and attempts to pull him, but the officer isn’t phased.
A bystander is heard in the video egging the children on, encouraging their disorderly behavior. This individual called one of the cops an “Oreo head,” according to the Post, this is a slur that insinuates a black person is attempting to “act white”.
In reality, there’s no such thing as “acting white” or “acting black”. The bystander is very obviously feeding into racial stereotypes.
“The behavior of these children is eerily similar to the behaviors of rioters who burned and looted Minneapolis two years ago,” a columnist wrote, calling the video “heartbreaking”.
