00:00Daddy, Daddy!
00:02Is it okay if I take that new scooter I got for my birthday outside the play?
00:05Are you feeling any better? You still have that sore throat.
00:07Yeah, Dad, I'm much better now.
00:09Still sounds a little scratchy.
00:10Yeah, but I feel fine. Please.
00:12I need some fresh air. I've been in the house too long.
00:15Okay, son. Stay in front of the house so I can hear you if you need anything.
00:19And I'll be outside in 15, 20 minutes. I still have a few phone calls to finish.
00:22Okay, Daddy.
00:23Seriously, don't wander off. Keep your smartwatch on you.
00:26So I can reach you and you can reach me if you need anything.
00:28Yes, Daddy, I know. Thank you. I love you.
00:31I love you too, son.
00:37Officer Karen, hi. I'm Amy Parker.
00:40I've heard so many great things about you here at the department.
00:44It's such an honor to be training with you today.
00:46Officer Parker, get that grin off your face.
00:49People don't like seeing cops smile, especially in the neighborhood we're going to.
00:53It'll get us shot. Buckle up.
00:55Wait, aren't we patrolling Torrance?
00:58Yes. Lots of Blacks have moved into that city recently.
01:02Okay.

01:48I can't hear me!
02:13Can we change this song?
02:15Officer Parker!
02:17I'm beginning to think that...
02:19What?
02:20Never mind.
02:21By the way, I didn't see you this morning at the new captain's welcome breakfast.
02:26Yeah, I had to fill out some excessive use of force forms this morning with internal affairs.
02:33Oh.
02:34Yeah, so how is he?
02:36He's great. He's very well qualified. He comes all the way from Miami.
02:40Whoa.
02:42Look what we have here. A thug running with a wallet.
02:48It's time to get your feet wet, Officer Parker.
02:51Where? I don't see any thugs.
02:53He's right there!
02:57Whoa. You must be a real pro at this. I don't see him anywhere.
03:02The only person I see is that little boy over there riding his scooter.
03:06Yes! That's the thug!
03:07He looks like he's five years old.
03:11You can't be serious.
03:15Oh my goodness. You're serious.
03:17He's doing some suspicious activity.
03:20It's time to put an end to that.
03:22Hey, boy. Wait right there.
03:44Sweetie, what are you doing with that wallet in your hand?
03:50It's... it's not mine.
03:53It could be his dad's.
03:55Where's your daddy, honey?
03:57Uh...
03:58Oh, jeez.
04:00He's probably smoking weed.
04:02He looks like he's five years old, Karen.
04:05Shut up, Officer Parker.
04:07These monkeys start real early.
04:09I've seen them in the delivery room getting weed as infamous.
04:14It's time to book him.
04:15What?
04:16What?
04:26I'm gonna ask you one more time, sweetie.
04:29Where is your daddy?
04:31Or do you not know?
04:32Because you don't have one.
04:35Good one, Karen.
04:37He's on the run.
04:38Possible 2-1-1.
04:39I need backup.
04:40He's probably just scared.
04:41Oh, jeez.
04:42Officer, excuse me.
04:43She don't need no facts.
04:44She don't need no facts.
04:45Just a skin tone and a hunch.
04:46Come back here, you little thug.
04:47Stop it.
04:48Stop, you little thug.
04:49Help!
04:50Dad, help!
04:51Help!
04:52You're under arrest for stealing a wallet and running from an officer.
05:12Daddy, Daddy, no!
05:13Stealing a wallet and running from an officer.
05:16Daddy, daddy, no!
05:17Shut up, your little thug, get up now.
05:19Daddy, daddy, no!
05:21You're going to spend a long time in prison, okay?
05:23Stop your little tantrum.
05:26Officer Karen!
05:27Officer Karen, what are you doing?
05:30Are you going to help me, Rookie?
05:31This thug is a fighter.
05:33He's a small child.
05:35Amy, do as I say.
05:38I got to set the standard in that place.
05:40You know what I mean?
05:41You're going to thug me and knock that.
05:52Stop it, what are you doing?
05:53Hey, let go of my son, gosh darn it.
05:56Sir, stand back.
05:57Captain Shaquille.
05:58Captain?
05:59I said let go of my son, Officer Karen.
06:01You're Captain Shaquille?
06:03And this is your son?
06:05That's right, Officer Karen.
06:08Get these handcuffs off him immediately.
06:11Thank you, Officer Amy.
06:17Now, can someone tell me why in the fork are you wrestling a five-year-old-
06:22With all due respect, sir, he stole a wallet.
06:26Stole the wallet?
06:27No, Dad, it wasn't stolen.
06:30Sorry to interrupt, but that's my wallet.
06:32wallet ah you see he did steal a wallet actually I don't think he stole it I
06:39think it just fell out of my pocket I saw officer Amy there and I just asked
06:42her if she had it
06:50I know son I know I raised you well and you're only five years old only one
06:56bigot would think he's a criminal unfortunately I didn't get a chance to
07:01meet you this morning's breakfast I wish I could say I heard good things about
07:04you captain Shaquille I was just trying to show Amy the ropes Amy was assigned to
07:08you for a reason what do you mean officer Karen Amy Parker internal affairs I was
07:16assigned to you to investigate you after you filed those papers earlier this
07:21morning what you're a liar I thought we were gonna be friends I could never be
07:27friends with you Karen you don't try to lie I was just walking no crime inside but I
07:34guess being black makes me here you go sir thank you officer Rachel Karen you're
07:39under arrest what you can't do that if I can no you can't because I didn't do
07:45anything wrong you arrested a five-year-old based on the color of his
07:48skin not only is that wrong on so many levels I'm not explaining myself to you
07:53let Bertha in prison explain to you I'm sorry about this sir I'll see you both
07:59at the station stop it you're coming with me you're supposed to be my friend I
08:03could never be friends with you Karen we could've got our hair done together yeah
08:08well that won't be happening because you'll be in prison with Bertha where
08:11you belong prejudice blinds us from seeing the truth and sometimes the ones
08:15meant to protect can become the ones we fear the most Arnold was just a kid
08:19trying to do the right thing but officer Karen saw only what she wanted to see
08:23in life we must judge people by their actions not by our assumptions because
08:28when we let bias guide us we don't just hurt others we destroy ourselves
08:33remember treating people with fairness and kindness is always the right call
08:38you don't need no facts
08:40just a skin zone and the hardship overreacts
08:45I'm racist Karen she's breaking the law locking out kids if I play it outside
08:50I'm racist Karen no cucks at all but they're throwing me hands in a
08:54baby
08:55vil
