Not long after midnight on Tuesday, Rickia Young, a 28-year-old home health aide, borrowed her sister’s car, put her 2-year-old son in the back seat and drove across town to West Philadelphia to pick up her teenage nephew from a friend’s house, Mincey said.
She was driving back to their home, hoping the purring car engine would lull her young son to sleep, when she turned onto Chestnut Street, where police and protesters had collided. She found herself unexpectedly driving toward a line of police officers who told her to turn around, Mincey said. The young mother tried to make a three-point turn when a swarm of Philadelphia officers surrounded the SUV, shattered its windows and pulled Young and her 16-year-old nephew from the car, the video shows.
“This child was lost during the violent riots in Philadelphia, wandering around barefoot in an area that was experiencing complete lawlessness,” the union claimed in a tweet and Facebook post that have since been deleted. “The only thing this Philadelphia police officer cared about in that moment was protecting this child.”

Yes because police regularly go around busting out windows of innocent bystanders trying to comply with the direction. Try again this is just a very sorry attempt at smearing the police who are just normal folks going to work each day except they have a target painted on their backs from the likes of you.

will add police are taking a new career choice of opening daycares for parents that put their children in danger. Poor kid unfortunately one day he will be one of those kids killed in the street by gangsters or caught on camera raiding Walmart.

Cops or normal folks going to work every day. They are not a robot army programmed to hurt folks in fact 90 percent or more took the job as a calling. Part of the problem is when folks paint an entire lot of folks with a broad brush and portraying them as jack-booted thugs out to take your rights and beat you cause somehow big bad government said this beat this insignificant citizen for no reason and hey while on cam grab her youngin too.
The narrative created as all cops are racist, and they are the racist arm of government is the problem and it becomes a bigger problem when folks attempt to take their irrational views to further a narrative created by a party seeking to take power by any means necessary.
