When the Black boy's friend told the boys to stop, the white boys attacked the Black boy. "I want to talk about this because I want to open the community's eyes that these things are happening," the boy's mother said. That officer told her the violent altercation was "consensual" and that "it's not a crime to call someone a n-----," according to the post. As for the injured boy's family, the mother said she's planning to move.
