Well, I’m not really sure how I’d feel about it from a moral standpoint (and I have no idea if, or what, might be going on behind the scenes). But from my perspective, the incident (and the media coverage) is great publicity for a boy who might one day make a living playing soccer. I mean, a 3-year-old who gets taken off the field by the police because he’s outplaying 5-year-olds might just be a sign of some talent…
If this happened to a white kid, they would be suing for trauma damages of a million dollars arguing this will ruin the child’s career because anytime they play soccer they will be worried if they play too good he will have the cops called on him.
Kid is learning an early lesson in ACAB. Also, the white kids are going to remember this and if they have a shred on empathy, will be hesitant around cops now.
Yeah, you might’ve traumatized a baby by calling the cops on him, but think of his future career prospects! Thank goodness the pig didn’t murder him so we can see what kind of value we can extract from his black body!

I’d rather him get the same treatment as his talentless white peers: safety, respect, education, support etc.
I feel the same way; I believe that this must be the goal is really not even up for debate.

I hope they sue.
