Honestie Hodges says she used to dream of being a police officer, but not anymore. On Monday, the 11-year-old walked out the back door of her mother’s house in Michigan and officers from the Grand Rapids Police Department confronted her and two other adults, who were also leaving the house, police wrote on Facebook. Authorities handcuffed Hodges before patting her down and placing her in the back of a cop car for around ten minutes, according to WZMM13. Police, who were looking for Carrie Manning, Hodges’ aunt who is white and accused of attempted murder, also detained the two women, who were both black. Cathy Williams, a spokeswoman for the police department, told MichiganLive that officers thought the two adults with Honestie Hodges were white because of the light that evening. Honestie’s mom, Whitney Hodges, told WILX that Hodges was also asked to walk backward with her hands in the air before she was handcuffed and searched. As it happened, the 11-year-old said she screamed out for her mom to help. “When my mom was walking past I was putting my hands through the little bars, banging on the windows screaming, ‘Please don't let them take me,’” she told WNEM. But her mother said she could do nothing but watch helplessly. “The whole time they are telling her to come down, I'm telling them she's 11 years old, that's my daughter,” she told WILX. “Don't cuff her.” The police department wrote on Facebook that its officers detained the three women because they wanted to make sure they weren’t Manning — who was arrested in a house not far away from the Hodges’ home — or armed with a dangerous weapon. After it was confirmed none of the three was Manning or had any weapons, police said they released Hodges and the two adults. An internal investigation into the incident has been opened by the police department after a complaint was filed on behalf of Hodges, who told WNEM that she’s now “afraid to open or go near my back door.” The 11-year-old said the incident has impacted her in other ways, too. “I wanted to be a detective, no, a police officer,” she said, according to WILX, “but now I don't want anything to do with those kind of things.”

Uh-huh. So now she's going to be a single mom at age 15 and on the public dole, just like her mom. Wanna bet?
click here to read about a truly tragic event where the young child was killed. Like someone who has a streak of misogyny, you have great contempt and an ingrained prejudice against cops. You try to mask you hatred over by saying it is only against “bad” cops….but that is a lie you are trying to force yourself and others to believe. Going even further into batshittery, Instead of the articles you post divulging all of the information that they know to offer the complete truth, they divulge as little information as possible to channel a reader into believing as they do.
It is a shame that you devote so much time to your “War on Cops” when a report of child abuse is made every ten seconds. In one recent year, there were an estimated 1,580 children who died as a result of abuse and neglect….that works out to be between four and five children a day. The number is estimate because studies indicate significant undercounting of child maltreatment fatalities by state agencies….yep, by 50% or more. While children are suffering and dying from the virtually hidden epidemic of child abuse and neglect, you set your primary goal in life to shame cops. You need to stop with that misdirected effort and combat the widespread war where children are constantly being abused and dying. Something that desperately must be stopped. I’ll made a fair deal with you. Until such time as that may happen….will you will divert your focused attention to the trials and tribulations of the severe epidemic of child abuse….the beatings and the killings.
Your faux outrage is a joke. Sicko Cop Convicted of Making Child Porn While On Duty, Using Police Equipment “According to court documents, FBI agents and other law enforcement officers searched Kirby’s residence as the result of an online child pornography investigation. That same morning, the Live Oak police chief authorized the agents to inspect and search the computer located inside Kirby’s patrol car. A forensic examination of the patrol car computer used by Kirby revealed that it contained at least 87 thumbnail images that either depicted minor children engaged in sexually explicit conduct, including one involving a toddler, or that had titles indicative of child pornography. In addition, the Internet browser history on the computer contained search terms commonly used by individuals who search for child pornography online.” That is one out of 1,100,000 cops and it is well within the 1% of cops recognized to be bad and are being weeded out as you can see has happened with cop in your link. it is indeed a great shame that you continue to devote so much time to your “War on Cops” when a report of child abuse in this country is made every ten seconds. You are posting and supporting an article where one cop out of 1,100,000 cops across America is alleged to have abused someone. While during one year alone, there were an estimated 1,580 children who died as a result of abuse and neglect. That works out to be between four and five children a day. Come on, asshole….get your priorities straight in your miserable life. You need to get your priorities in life straightened out.
“I wanted to be a detective, no, a police officer,” she said, according to WILX, “but now I don't want anything to do with those kind of things.”

When you can show where it is reported that a cop violated the performance of his duty every ten seconds and an estimated 1,580 people died in a year as a result of cop negligence….then I will join whole heartedly in the crusade against cops with you.
Can you handle that? You can if you want to …
