Omaha Police Officers Post Video of Black 'Thug Cycle' Toddler Flippin' the Finger and Spewing Profanities

That's some black thug culture, yo! They start early wit dem youngins.

It's a clip posted by the police officers' union, "Heartbreaking Video Shows “The Thug Cycle” Continuing":

Folks….soak this in.

You are literally watching “the cycle” of violence continue right in front of your eyes.

A powerful cycle that must be broken if we ever hope to get a handle on violence in Omaha.

A powerful cycle that the police alone cannot stop.

And see the Facebook page as well, "Omaha Police Officers Association." Hundreds of comments there.

Brooke Baldwin reported yesterday:



And attacks of "RAAAAACISM" weren't long in coming. See the Omaha World Herald, "Video: Adults exchange profanities with diaper-clad boy":

Willie Hamilton, executive director of Black Men United in Omaha, said that although he doesn't condone behavior portrayed in the video, it is inappropriate for the police union to single out this child to draw sweeping conclusions about the cycle of violence.

Many people have called him to say that the video further damages the relationship between Omaha police and the black community, Hamilton said.

“The police actually have a website that is perpetuating mistrust and anger, and I think that is what it is meant to do,” Hamilton said. “I thought posting the video was crossing the line. To use that incident to say that our kids are going to grow up and be thugs is far-reaching and insensitive. We are talking about a child that hasn't even gone to school yet.”

Actually, the cops might actually be saving that kid before it's too late.
