Omaha police association labels video of diapered black toddler ‘The Thug Cycle’ | The Raw Story: The Omaha Police Officers Association drew criticism this week after it posted a video of a black child in a diaper and titled it “The Thug Cycle.”
A post on the association’s blog explained that the “video is bad” and “will make you angry.”
The video shows an African-American toddler in a diaper and several adults can be heard uttering profanities from off camera.
The association asserted that it had “an obligation to share it to continue to educate the law abiding public about the terrible cycle of violence and thuggery that some young innocent children find themselves helplessly trapped in.”
“Now while we didn’t see anything in this video that is blatantly ‘illegal’, we sure did see a lot that is flat out immoral and completely unhealthy for this little child from a healthy upbringing standpoint,” the association wrote, noting that someone in the room asked the child, “What hood you from?”
