    “When the police officer had his body cam off, they were yelling and telling me, ‘We’re gonna go to the full extent. We’re gonna put you in a lockbox,’” Timothy said. “Then, when the body cam was finally on, they were so nice.”

    How are we still letting cops just turn off body cams? It defeats the entire fucking purpose.

    Garza called law enforcement, who detained him and placed him in solitary confinement for three days at the Darrell B. Hester Juvenile Detention Center in Brownsville.

    Why the fuck does a juvenile detention center even have solitary confinement… America is so fucked up…

    All this punishment on a smart kid who simply wanted to have a school councilor to talk to after he had lost his father to cancer.

    This shitty principal should be fired and also investigated for false reporting. I’d be really interested to hear which student reported this boy for uttering a threat to kill the principal because it sounds more like the principal made this up to toss a kid in solitary confinement for a weekend to shut him up.

      He should be fucking arrested. He ruined that boy’s life. He’ll never be the same after three days in solitary for asking for mental help.
