A toddler was seen in recent video cursing at Minnesota police officers as they were on their way to make an arrest. The frightening video was posted on YouTube by the local news outlet Alpha News on July 10.
The New York Post reports that the video was recorded in St. Paul last week. The child was also shown in the video assaulting a police officer and cursing at him. According to Sheila Qualls’ account of the incident for Alpha News, police had a search warrant for a murder suspect when they arrived at the scene.
According to reports, the original video was about 2-minutes long; however, Alpha News only posted a 30-second excerpt. The publication claims that the child who was involved threw pebbles at the police in the footage.
Police are abused by a toddler who refers to them as “Oreo heads”
The unnamed teenager was visibly abusing the police officers while only wearing his underwear. According to the footage, the young child urged the officer to “shut up b***h!”
The youngster also made a jesting remark regarding the officer’s shoes. The police officers looked to be dressed in ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) clothes, according to the New York Post. In reference to this, the youngster made a remark about his boots, calling them “ugly-ass church shoes.”
The young Minnesotan also called one of the officers a “Oreo head” and called another one of the officers. The term “Oreo head” was used to make fun of the cop and imply that he preferred white people.
Possible explanations for the toddler‘ tantrums
The death of George Floyd in Minnesota in 2020 as a result of police violence in Minneapolis has made headlines, and it’s possible that the youngster saw seniors in his life acting unfavorably toward the police.
Three days before to the incident, former M inneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was given a 20-year prison term for his role in the second-degree murder of the late bouncer and violation of Floyd’s constitutional rights.
Although there is no documented relationship between the toddler and the intention to look for the murder suspect at the scene, it is plausible that the youngster knew the culprit.
Online users respond to the video
Numerous internet users have also shared their thoughts on the trending video in the meanwhile. Many tweets implied that the parent’s negligence was to blame for the child’s behavior.

Taught from a young age that police are terrible, a user commented. They are doomed to failure from the start.
It’s natural for a youngster who has been told that his uncle or father was killed by the lads in blue, according to another user. Absolutely normal.
Taught from this young age that police are bad. They are set up for failure from the very beginning.

I work with teenage males in a mental facility, another member commented. This is a sizable portion of today’s youth. Race is not a factor at all.
It’s normal to a boy who has been told that his uncle or dad was murdered by the boys in blue. Totally normal.

Another person remarked, “This is very pitiful.” It is quite tragic that a person, who is obviously not a parent, could instruct their child to behave in such a manner. It has learned everything that is permitted of it!
This is so pitiful. Absolutely sad that a person ( not parent- because obviously none of that is going on) could teach their child to act like this. It is a learned as much as it is allowed!!
