I was driving and I witnessed the nypd tow truck trying to flee, this white dude got in front of the tow truck and tried to keep him on scene. I took a pic of the guy stopping him. How do I share on here?
@brooklynson1987 you should share it on twitter if u can. it’ll spread faster
So I was mislead to thinking this child was going to school by himself and after reading the article and coming back to this video the child was with his mother..I see a woman on her knees next to the body..A lot of comments are saying this child was by himself and he wasn't..For a parent to have to witness her child get hit like that and to see them die, dear God 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 The article also said the little boy was riding a light green scooter 🛴 and the driver was a woman. A lot of people are saying it was a man.
@gemini68 for a mom to sit over her lifeless child is a nightmare
I don't agree to record anyone's body on the street, but she ranting about its a child. No, it's a human period and she's the one that'll be recording someone else body this weekend. Teenager or man or woman it's still someone's baby. She probably didn't get to smoke her blunt as of yet and was irritated. Smh recorder should've told her shut up.
She's complaining about recording but she's standing there watching a 7yr old laying under the sheet
respect the baby, why don’t you all stop cursing like a bunch of idiots. No class
