Thug who kicked black toddler in back released on own recognizance.

White privilege? A career criminal with a long record didn't have to pay a cent to get out of jail.

It's startling that this actually happened.

There should have been a warrant out for his arrest. Instead, he kicked a toddler and got released.

I really hope all those people who held him down till the cops came rethink that strategy the next time.
