Omg how can someone say that teacher needs fired I pray someone is in jail and a car seat omg
Might be hard to believe but this officer that almost got shot is my dad. I think it’s a miracle that he saw the gun and at the last second hit it so It went into the roof of the McDonald’s. Thankfully he didn’t get hurt.
The reporter is not helping in talking every time in between her sentences
I would just like to say that women needs to keep her mouth to her self. No one taught that little boy how to do that. Kids now just already know how to do most things
That’s a great son! I doubt the father told him to shoot the cops. Probably just seeing a bunch of strangers with guns pull his father out of the car scared him enough to try and save his father.
Those parents must be fantastic parents. Give them more welfare.
I bet my last dollar he was pale and frail 😂
Is it racist that I think the kid was black?
Bad parenting, cops 👮♂️ will take away child 👦 and dog 🐕.
Anyone wanna ,guess the demographic ,of the 4 year old kid , and his a hole parents???
That’s crazy
It sounds like the four year old being told by the father is an assumption of the of the officers and not a fact (“we believe”). I still believe man babies who brandish guns over incorrect drive through orders should be erased from society no different than punks and thugs.
I can't imagine anyone asking their four year old to shoot someone. I can't believe the child didn't hurt himself because that kick is no joke especially for a child. The father should get a lengthy conviction for his actions. I can't imagine how that child will feel when they get older and find out about this happening and why it happened. Thank goodness nobody was hurt. Thank goodness.
It's insulting, absolutely insulting, that the sheriff cannot believe it??? I mean? Where has she been? Can't believe it…start believing and start speaking out for MANDATORY SENTENCES for these dangerous morons… they should never be free or own a firearm ever again… it's easy, if the police would use their power to influence common sense laws.
I don't blame the kid, he was doing what he was told.
Even a four year old is smart enough to know that the cops are public enemy number 1
Are you guys sure it wasn’t Hasbulla❤
I have a 4 year old who can’t tie his shoe😱
That was partially the cops fault for not securing the gun immediately after the dad was removed from the car, what if the kid was a teenager with better aim, those cops would have learned a life lesson with their lives
Thats what happens when you support the second amendment!
Its impossible for everyone with guns to stop kids,angry folks or mentally ill people from getting hold of firearms! They are to much guns!
Notice this doesn’t state the fact that the man & his kid are BLACK!! If these were white people, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. LEAVE IT TO RACIST NBC.
Teaching these black kids young.
What 💀💀
Only in ohio
Let the man get his nuggies
You're right, sheriff somebody did teach that 4 year old that. My god….
Next time you morons will focus on clearing and making the vehicle safe instead of throwing 10 officers on one person. The stupidity from these officers is ridiculous. Blaming a father and kid for your poor training is ignorant. Post the entire video with full context. Sick of the media showing half if not less than what’s actually happening.
It's part of the culture. McDonalds and gangbanging.
HOW TF SHE JUST GONNA SAY THE FATHER TOLD THE BABY TO SHOOT @ THE POLICE… I HATE THE POLICE.
ITS NOT RIGHT TO HAVE GUNS AROUND THESE BABIES I AGREE TO THAT THE FATHER WAS 100% WRONG FOR THAT.
BUT TO JUST SIT UP & ASSUME THE FATHER TOLD THE 4yr OLD TO SHOOT AT THE POLICE IS JUST FLAT OUT WRONG
IF THEY DIDNT HEAR HIM TELL THAT BABY THAT THEN SHE SHOULDNT HAVE GOTTEN ON NATIONAL TV & MADE THAT STATEMENT
Proves that hate is taught not inherited
I guess parenting is different in their community
WHAT AN AWESOME CULTURE !!!!!!
I wonder what that kid is gonna be like on five yrs or so. They start young these days but this is ridiculous!
Did they mag dump on the four year old?
That’s American Dream
Having you letting a child have a gun is absolutely flabbergasting, and all this from a fast food order, not only that, but most toddlers learn from their parents, and maybe, his dad learnt him this. How pitiful
Ah America 😊😊😊😊
Why don’t they show his face
Dirt bag kids
I thought I read the title wrong wtaf
The kid is treated wrong, parents these days , my step brother acts like he’s slick and says bad words when he was little😂
Could of injured a worker
Typical democrats
A 4 year old bull sh…
What a bad dad😢
how
