    The video this is referring to is heavily edited, it relates to a teenage girl allegedly posting threats and insults under a false name, the police officers are there to confiscate the phone of the accused. The mother filmed the incident and then posted a edited version of it to falsify the fact why the officers showed up to confiscate the phone.

    Yes, police showing up to confiscate the phone of a teenager is a bad look and the whole thing is messy and weird, but if the allegations are true and the posts and messages caused the recipients distress and fear it is a crime that at least needs to be investigated.

    The framing you are choosing now is deeply racist and hateful, further muddying the waters regarding an already troubling incident and pushing racist ideology.

      Or have a netflix documentary made about it. You know, one or the other.
