'I hope your momma let me beat you': Parents are awarded $275,000 after Maryland cops held down their five-year-old boy who was truant from kindergarten, handcuffed and shouted at him

Newly released records show two police officers were suspended without pay after berating a 5-year-old boy who had walked away from his elementary school, calling him a 'shepherd of the devil' and threatening him with a beating.

The details of the lengthy internal investigation at the Montgomery County Police Department were revealed when the district paid out $275,000 in a settlement after the incident at East Silver Spring Elementary School in Maryland.

Officers Dionne Holliday and Kevin Christmon were seen holding down the crying child to a chair and shouting abuse such as 'I hope your momma let me beat you' in the body camera footage that went viral.

One of the officers pulled out his handcuffs and closed one of loops around the child's right wrist.

'When you get older, when you want to make your own decisions, you know what's going to be your best friend?' one officer asks the terrified boy.

'These right here. You know what these are? These are handcuffs. You know what they're for? You know what these are for? These are for people that don't want to listen and don't know how to act.'

Holliday was suspended for four weeks while Christmon was suspended for two after an internal investigation.

I remember this and it's been posted about in the distant past.

Yes the brat is Amish but so were the two officers. I stand with the officers and like the way they dealt with the kid. This lawsuit only tells the kid he can act like a fool, then win the lottery lawsuit.

Black kid and two black cops? Not a white person’s burden.

“Not a white person’s burden.”

Who is paying that $275,000

'I hope your momma let me beat you'

Gotta disagree with you on this one. These "officers" are completely out of control.

No you really need to see the whole video. I have. The male officer is saying “My dad would have beat my butt five times before I got home had I done something like this” or something like that.

That is what the officers meant.

My state has less than 0.5% black population. I live here for a reason.

The TAXPAYERS of the State of Maryland ...

Black urban culture is broken; police culture is broken ...

this is a mess that won't be solved by taking a bunch of money from the productive citizens and giving it to the brat's mom.

The mom needs to get her head on straight, and raise the brat not to grow up and be an "adult" brat like the two "officers".

Everyone here is full video. It’s about 51 minutes long but it’s the police cam.

I tend to agree with you. The kid needed a strong course-correction. But that should only be done by the parents, or with the parents’ permission.

It’s not the culture, it’s their brains. The culture is a result.

Too bad the police cannot appeal that fine, but it’s likely the police department just wants to put the whole incident behind them asap. The little Boy should have been in the classroom or this wouldn’t have happened. I think the cops had the right idea to scare jim now against playing hooky.

They may have jumped the shark tho, with that very creative phrase “Shepherd of The Devil”.
That sounds like something my Great grandma from Birmingham Alabama would have said to me as a child, after I had “accidentally stole” the last piece of her homemade sweet potato pie.

Yes, I agree. The police used their best judgment. And a demon possessed kid can be a nightmare. I'm sure the parents are no jewels either.

Abraham Lincoln had a great plan for the future that would have fixed these problems. Unfortunately that boneheaded fool Booth killed President Lincoln before he could implement the plan.
