The Inquirer has added an editor’s note about why they pulled the photos of the child. For transparency: now that the FOP’s lie has been exposed, I’m going to delete my initial tweet that shows his face for the same reason. https://twitter.com/ryanjreilly/status/1321861234468204550">https://twitter.com/ryanjreil...

The FOP& #39;s fake story is still spreading all over Facebook in an entirely predictable fashion.
One post says the child -- who, again, was grabbed out of the back of a SUV after Philadelphia police officers smashed the vehicle& #39;s windows and beat the driver -- "became lost."

Just awful. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10/30/philadelphia-fop-posts-toddler/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/20...

They BEAT THIS KIDS MOTHER and ripped him from the back of her car, then used the kid for propaganda. Everyone involved in this should be deeply, deeply ashamed. https://twitter.com/ryanjreilly/status/1321869280951050240">https://twitter.com/ryanjreil...

"Young’s son was hit in the head leaving a large bump on the toddler’s forehead… Glass from the SUV’s broken windows still lay in the child’s car seat… The sun had risen Tuesday morning before Young was finally reunited with her 2-year-old…” https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10/30/philadelphia-fop-posts-toddler/?fbclid=IwAR3OEpqNPvIJLgnjKRTalqoawyP_UTKR7qPEofwfPPy-GEyzTdDIxmoMLrw">https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/20...
She’s a young mother and a home healthcare aide, a notoriously underpaid profession. Just imagine how tough life already was for her in the middle of a pandemic, and then this happens. I’ve asked @AttorneyRoss if the family intends to set up a GoFundMe, will let you know.
“Every time she sees a police officer the last couple days, she’s worried that they’re coming for her. Her son, even though he is hearing impaired and still developing his speech, is definitely showing some signs of trauma...” https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia/philadelphia-police-suv-video-protests-child-walter-wallace-jr-20201030.html">https://www.inquirer.com/news/phil...
“She has not been charged with a crime, and police won’t say what prompted the show of force.”
Pretty big giveaway right there! Can you imagine how desperate they must have been to find something to charge her with to cover up their behavior? https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia/philadelphia-police-suv-video-protests-child-walter-wallace-jr-20201030.html">https://www.inquirer.com/news/phil...

Again, please subscribe to @PhillyInquirer. I was only able to help keep that lie from spreading further because I’d read their story and seen their images of the boy and later made the connection when the FOP posted their propaganda posts.
Now, every time I put my own shoeless toddler in his car seat, I’ll be reminded of the look of terror on that little boy’s face. https://twitter.com/ryanjreilly/status/1302286628178853892">https://twitter.com/ryanjreil...

Here’s a GoFundMe for Rickia Young. I’m not covering this story, so I’ve donated, and I think you should too: https://www.gofundme.com/f/brutal-attack-by-police">https://www.gofundme.com/f/brutal-...

“We haven& #39;t even heard as much as an apology from the Fraternal Order of Police,” says @AttorneyRoss. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/adeonibada/philadelphia-police-union-black-child">https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/a...
