The kid, oh, just crushed my heart there. Dude, listen to your boy. I’m not understanding why people think this is acceptable behavior?

Omg his son is begging him not to do this and he just goes all in on being a racist. I hope his son remembers this and doesn’t become like that man.

His own child knew better & yet he still called the police. How embarrassing for the child to watch his father do the very thing that has caused Black men & Black women to be brutalized by the ?♀️. Did you hear the fear in his voice pleading w/his father not to call the ?♀️. RACISM
