Relatives Upset Over Pic Of White Birmingham Police Officer Holding A Black Two-Month Old Baby While Her Parents Are Overdosing


http://www.wvtm13.com/news/bpd-facing-backlash-over-viral-picture/41546810

The Birmingham Police Department is facing backlash over a picture that went viral on social media.

The picture shows Birmingham police officer Michelle Burton holding a baby whose parents had just overdosed. The father died and the mother is still in the hospital. Officer Burton ended up staying with the baby and her three siblings for more than six hours following the incident.

Burton’s husband posted the picture on social media last week praising his wife.

However, family members of the baby shown in the picture were not happy.

Mary Purnell Adalane, the aunt of the baby in the picture, spoke out at the Birmingham City Council meeting Tuesday. She said she and other family members felt like the baby, who’s just shy of two months old, was “exploited.

I am upset about it too - why are the parent off this baby overdosing? That is what I am upset about.

When I first saw the above photo almost two weeks ago, my first intent was to post it here to factually point-out that it actually represented the systematic behavior police officers (as a general rule) exhibit toward the rest of us every single day, compared to the progressive-racist-political agenda of police brutality being "systematic" that is currently underway.

A youngster calls 911 to report the two parent figures of the household are unresponsive; there are two other youngsters and the baby pictured above in the home at the time, too. Police arrive to find the male adult already dead and the female adult unconscious - both from overdosing.

Cops have to respond to despicably irresponsible, horrid domestic situations like this one every single day of the year. This particular police officer spent the entire rest of the night - far past the end-hour of her regular shift - caring for those four young children until they were finally taken into protective custody by the state.

And now "relatives" are whining and moaning about anything at all, instead of thanking the police for doing such a caring, compassionate job? Tells you exactly where their familial love level is at...

Fuck them and fuck all their progressive relatives - especially the progressive pieces of shit here on the GB - who need to maintain racist police brutality, and racism in general, is "systematic" both in American police departments and the nation itself...

They are the grossly pitiful exceptions to the gloriously honorable rule pictured above.

∧∧∧∧This.

There's no doubt that the female officer made that gesture out of kindness and caring.
And I suspect that her husband's intent in posting that picture was to create some sort of bridge between the two communities by diminishing the public perception that "all white cops are bad". (gosh, he must be worried sick for his wife, with the recent killings of cops).
- And I'm sure that neither the police officer, nor her husband did it for some dubious individual or collective gain.

In saying that, had the parents died through an accident not of their making so to speak, I'd still be a bit in two minds about the appropriateness of posting such a pic.; a bit insensitive towards the surviving wife and family who are still grieving.

However, since the parents overdosed, posting that pic. would inevitably have unwanted side effects like exposing the parents to public scrutiny or judgment.

Officer Burton merits nothing but the love and respect from her community and the victimized family for her actions above the strict requirements of her law enforcement position.

As a legal matter, however, the Birmingham Police Department has to know that minor children, especially those victimized by crime or tragedy (whether or not at the hands of their parents) have privacy rights that MUST NOT be compromised while in protective custody.

The picture was apparently taken within the police department precinct building, and subsequent possession of the image was not restricted to police officials. That's a problem. And officer Burton's husband's benign motives in posting the picture on social media only complicate and enlarge the problem.

Had the photograph been taken in public at a crime scene by a news photographer or private citizen not affiliated with the Birmingham PD, there would be no legal ramifications whatsoever. The photograph could still be seen as "exploitative," but the family would have no legal recourse in that instance.

Choosing sides in this melodrama will help no one.

If police don't look after black children, how will they be able to shoot them when they get older?

Oops...
You're right. She's in breach of workplace policies (a bit like a health professionals who leaked personal info about patients). So she might even face disciplinary action or end up losing her job over it, unfortunately.

It may not have been the officer's fault as to who took the picture, but, yeah, she obviously bears responsibility for it getting in her husband's hands and what he did with it thereafter.

WHATS tons of fun is to hold a pickaninny and the child then don't wanna go to its mama or baby daddy.

Image censored (child's face blurred) by The Washington Post

“It is time that the non drug using public sees what we are now dealing with on a daily basis,” the city wrote in the accompanying post. “We feel we need to be a voice for the children caught up in this horrible mess. This child can’t speak for himself but we are hopeful his story can convince another user to think twice about injecting this poison while having a child in their custody.”

...Brian Allen, the city’s director of public service and safety, said the city received a public records request for the photos from a local TV station. After discussion involving Allen’s office, the mayor’s office and the city’s legal council, they decided to release the photos without blurring the child’s face.

...Allen says more people need to understand what the front lines of that epidemic actually look like to the people responding to it.

“Sometimes the truth is hard to see,” he said, “and that’s what this photo is. The truth.”

Ohio city shares shocking photos of adults who overdosed with a small child in the car
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ho-overdosed-with-a-small-child-in-their-car/

The adult male in the photo above was given only 180 days for "driving under the influence and endangering children" - 3 months and the human piece of shit will be back out and endangering children and others again. This situation has now been primed by the progressive culture of leniency toward drug crimes to evolve into another human tragedy...

...just like the ongoing, utter criminal devastation in Chicago where, according to police, the 1,000-1,500 main instigators of virtually all the violent crime in the Windy City are well-known to police, who keep busting them for every violation they can, only to have the progressive judicial system release them back into the community because of its political commitment to going easy on such oppressed victims who are many times busted for "non-violent" drug charges.

Same deadly progressive culture is now destroying San Bernardino, California, whose murder rate per 100,000 population is currently pacing at 31 for this year, compared to Chicago's 18 and LA's 7 last year.

After mass shooting, San Bernardino endures a surge in deadly violence: 150 shootings, 47 slayings

Sure, there'll always be "new" folks who start to commit serious crimes, but it is the same group of repeat offenders who are responsible for the most significant crimes in any locale - and these are the ones who should be kept behind bars instead of being freed into society over and over again by progressives who enable crime by pushing their unicorn fart EQUALITY death sentence upon all.

The correct answer to this questionable question is: "The police won't shoot them. They will be killed by 'Black on Black' crime.

No, that doesn't exist anymore remember.
Only police kill blacks these days.
Thinking anything else is racist, naturally.
