The lawyer said he’s baffled that prosecutors pursued the case and that a youth judge oversaw a sentence that included probation and requiring the child to write a report about Kobe Bryant.
A 10-year-old Black child in Mississippi who urinated in public in August was sentenced Tuesday in youth court to three months’ probation, a decision the child’s attorney says was influenced by race.
Quantavious Eason, who is in the third grade, was arrested by Senatobia police Aug. 10 after a police officer saw him relieving himself outside next to his mom’s car when the woman was inside an attorney’s office, according to family attorney Carlos Moore.
Given the circumstances, any child would have done the same thing, Moore said. He noted there was no public restroom at the attorney’s office.
Well, how else should we punish children for…peeing in public? Should we beat them? No, that’s inhumane. Clearly the right answer is…checks notes… separate them from their families and stick them in a cage.
I mean it’s the American Way. We get them used to the cage when they’re young first and then when we throw them back in there later on
to be an actual slave for corporationsfor rehabilitation they are comfortable with it!Only if black
Even if this were a grown man… how is peeing in public a jail sentence or probation?? Here you just get a fine. Or am I too european to understand?
Not only that put if you do it as an adult you will be put on the sexual offenders list for life. Yay America!
OK that’s fucked up. Is that in all states?
No. California recently got rid of or changed it though I forget the particulars other than it doesn’t come with a sex offender charge now. Another state had also done much the same before California did. Michigan, I think?
Technically it can happen. Usually is doesn’t. Peeing in public is technically indecent exposure if you are seen (which someone has to see you to catch you anyways). Indecent exposure is considered a sexual offence and can be tried as such.
But from what I’ve seen in my area of the US if you get caught pissing in public you will just get a fine unless you are a frequent repeat offender or there is some extenuating curcumstance like doing it in full view of other people. It’s one of those things where technically it can get you labeled as a sex offender but it rarely actually does. Of course we have plenty of corrupt judges and that decision lies solely with them so it is always a possibility.
European here. Public urination is illegal and a friend of mine was nearly charged for peeing on the side of the road on a country lane at the woods when we were kids (edit: around 16).
This whole thing is crazy though. 10 year olds need to pee.
Here in Germany it is illegal and you can get fined (no jailtime, as long as you dont try to show your dick to everyone).
But I have never heard of anyone getting fined for it, but I only know people who pee in bushes and shit, no one that is so trashy that they pee on buildings and stuff, because I would imagine that those cases are prosecuted much more stringently.
If you stop at any reststop at a highway or country road its also not very unlikely to see someone peeing into some bushes.
There’s also a big difference between doing it on a street and doing it in the country road. The main difference being you’re not peeing on concrete.
Dogs can pee wherever they want… No one gets arrested for dog pee
That case should have been tossed & the cop reprimanded & demoted.
It never should have been sent to a prosector. Wild that it made it all the way to a judge. Wild.
Even wilder that the judge didn’t dismiss it out of hand.
And even before that, the kid should not have been arrested in the first place. That’s just insane to think that a cop can actually arrest a small child at all.
That poor kid will remember this for the rest of his life and never trust police (if he ever did anyway)
Sadly, he shouldn’t. Especially since he is black. But really none of us should. They’ve done everything you can imagine to earn our suspicion and loathing.
It’s downright fucking sickening to imagine a little boy getting ducking arrested. JFC.
I’ve said this before it doesn’t matter what color your skin is, cops are not on “your side”
How does that piece of shit cop sleep at night?
Or DA or judge or…
Like a racist baby
In fear from all those good guys with a gun with are going to protect us from tyrants.
Haha I am kidding. With his battered wife of course on a bed that has been soaked with his drunken urine at least once.
He faps himself to sleep thinking of the black kid he arrested.
Maybe he enjoys watching children pee? Just asking questions.
No you’re doing it wrong you actually have to say “he definitely did this thing, but I’m just asking questions.”
It has the same tone as “I’m not racist but…”
Eh but if the kid doesn’t see him is there really any harm in that? Obviously you don’t arrest your mark, that’s the first rule of Schrödingers Pedo.
Quantavious? Seriously, some parents should lose their rights to name their kids
^ This guy’s kids names, Braydan, Graydan, Jaydan, and Haydan
Wow, that’s just shameful to arrest a kid over. How about a conversation about why this isn’t acceptable and what to do in the future. Maybe he was scared to ask his mother (doesn’t mean that fear was rational).
Not only shameful, but wasteful. An entire court room full of people had to get paid to come to this ruling.
If I were the judge I’d have taken that money out of the cop’s pay and fined him for wasting the court’s time.
Hint: the judge is part of the problem for sentencing him at all.
If the
copsracist pigs actually viewed this little boy as equal and human they might have opted to converse.Little guy pissed by his moms car because there were no bathrooms. What else was he supposed to do?
Not surprising it played a role.
Tax dollars hard at work.
Yep, Those tax dollars could’ve been used to fund public restrooms instead
Lol.

Here’s an idea, blanket ban on arresting kids unless they’re creating an immediate danger to others.
Your idea is better. I would have suggested arresting white kids at the same rate as black kids in solidarity with the all lives matter movement.
We’d have to build a fuckton more prisons
For-profit prisons? Imagine the revenues!
/S
Build it around mines, the children yearn for the mines.
Even then I wouldn’t ever term it “arrest” officially. “Detain” and then have a child welfare officer present 100% of the time until the parents can be found. The idea that cops would ever need to arrest a 10yo speaks to their utter ineptitude and malice. If you can’t handle a literal child without resorting to violence and incarceration then you have no skills.
LEGALIZE PISS
Cheesing is not a crime.
The mom was with the lawyers and they didn’t give them access to a bathroom??? Were they hoping this to happen?
I’d say the kid was too shy to go in and ask tbh, especially if his mum was not in the waiting area. Parent of many and I could totally see that happening.
The whole thing is batshit crazy.
Shocked they didn’t go after mom for child negligence or worse. I’m afraid to give them ideas. So sad.
When a 10 year old can’t pee on a tree, we need a coup.
Wow. And near the gulf coast, too. Is the next step to start arresting people for peeing in the ocean?

For once, yeah, please stop eating them as is customary, and explain your low quality thoughts, if possible. Poor fella.
