- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2024
- A new report based on a joint investigation by Pro-Publica and Nashville Public Radio uncovers a decade -long system and practice of arresting and jailing mostly Black children in Rutherford, Tennessee.
Donna Scott Davenport, juvenile court judge in the county, sometimes refers to herself as "The mother of the county" and allegedly directed police to arrest children at an alarming rate in Rutherford. The rate of arrest was a staggering 48%t. Co-author of the report, Meribah Knight of Nashville Public Radio, joined “BNC Live” with Tashanae Whitlow to discuss the lasting impact of what experts call the “school-to-prison" pipeline has on a child’s future as well as their mental health.

The judge should be prosecuted and sent to prison for a real long time.
Absolutely that's where her ass needs to be... And yet she still has her job...
... and everyone who assisted her.
The judge looks like Lucifier's mother. This story is yet another example of the United Satanic Alliance's mission the destroy melaninated people. This is a product of modern slavery.. America was founded on terrorism, racist and pure evil directed at the melaninated population. This captured land will always be catered to the inhabit of the Caucasian mountains.
Are these kids homophobes though. You know how black people do. Gay people are safer with these people behind bars. They need to fix their culture then we can talc.
@Buttons Williams you kno youre israel brother
All involved should be charged with Child Abuse.
Makes me sick 🤢🤮
Kidnapping & endangering the welfare of a minor & so much more, crimes against humanity I could go on & on
A modern day Patty Cannon. This is American History.
THIS JUDGE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED TO THE EXTENT OF LAWS ALLOWS.
She's late for her eastern star meeting
That judge and many others need to lose their lives by the public.
Sorry QI exist.
It's possible that she will face criminal charges. A judge in Pennsylvania received 20-30 years in prison for a cash for kids program that resulting in minors getting sentence to prison time to fill a new jail facility.
Wait.. will never happen
Where is the DOJ, because this judge without doubt needs to be arrested and prosecuted. The families need to sue the PD, county and state as well!
They need to start doing like they was doing in the 80s and '90s they would take people like that on perk Walks The government use to love arresting big fish
If you're a powerful person nothing happens to you
Look at Trump
💯💯💯💯💯💯Correct
This is the Department of Justice
Evil people like that, people need to get rid of quick,
Foreal we need people like the punisher
They will. They're gonna get what's coming to them Fckn with people's children. Fck a lawsuit. Those demons think money will solve their wicked atrocities against the hue-man and cosmos divine! NO IT WONT. #AbolishQualifiedImmunity #ArrestThem!!
They need to lose all go to jail
Real quick!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the evil America was built on.
Hold her accountable!
How?????
Judges have too much power and discretion. Just another way that the system is flawed.
They are part of it
The system is not flawed.It works just like they want it too.
@@bilindamueller3154 prosecutors too
They're doing more to those children than just locking them up
Can you expand on this statement? Im intrigued

@@laneterry3030 who is jim crow?
How does a country that beats it's chest saying Liberty and Justice for all, allow something so egregious like this to happen, to innocent Babies. This is Pure Wickedness and Evil!
This why I've neve stood. I did it in service because it was my job but in street clothes, never.
💯💯💯💯💯💯Correct
Wicked is the correct word.
Never go by what a mf say. They actions tells the true story.
Liberty and justice for all was a lie when they put that on the Constitution due to the fact that that slavery was still going on so our forefathers lied when they said liberty and justice for all😎😎😎!
Why is she is still on the bench.
Because America loves it’s racist authority figures.
Doesn’t surprise me. I live in Nashville, I try not to go to Rutherford County unless visiting a relative. It’s been corrupt for decades.
Wow that's crazy... The whole system needs to be turned down in that county... And there should be eyes on everyone over there 24,7
Yeah I wonder that myself why don't black people just move the hell out of that down county. I don't understand how minorities can live anywhere that is so toxic
@@patriciaspeller1988 uhm why is it okay to treat minorities like this in USA but you guy's are caring about muslims in China and Afghan rights?
@@patriciaspeller1988 Some people don't have the resources to move. Racism is everywhere, you can't run from it. Even cities that have black leadership, still deal with Racism.
That's why I left Smyrna! They have no crime so they have to put charges on you!! EXAMPLE! I had a100 dollar fine & a 50 dollar fine! After all their bogus fees I paid 800.00 Real talk. I still have the paper work!!!😠
I hope an attorney takes on a personal injury case and brings this to a national level of exposure. This Judge and others that helped in this crime needs to be not only removed from their authority but also prosecuted for the abuse of these kids!!!
This needs ACLU intervention
What needs national exposure is the fact that they make the process black and white and the area that they target low-income urban area but we are a 2 trillion dollar industry correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen the government giving out too many vouchers for black men in that area
💯💯💯💯💯💯Correct
I agree
Folks who are doing this wickedness to these children must be sleeping with the devil 😈
They are the devil...
@@howardpryor7778 I was going to say the same thing! They truly are spawns of Satan.
That judge looks like an evil witch. People need to remember her name and vote her out of office.
They are of the repub party. No surprise here😒
@@blackhercules1753 related to mtg?
I just contacted TN Governors office , and demented from them to look into this , and I also demented a quick response telling and explaining what are they going to do about it … contact Governor Lee’s office , and demand answers and action to get rid of these criminals
They are racist and unprofessional judges also. The system need to be fix.
What is going to be done about this judge? Anything done yet? If not why not and when are they going to release these kids from juvenile detention? When will people know? This week?
Where is the FEDs? I swear Biden ain't doing S$$$.
@@MrDdub619 FEDS work for Trump that is why he is still out there running off his mouth. Why isn't he arrested yet?
If you really want to know google "Tennessee illegally jailed black teens." This actually happened in 2016. There's a lot more to it, but not enough time for them to cover so many details. Nothing happened to the judge.

They did this mess here in pa too
@@q.t.gamingfamily They have been doing crap like this in many states.
Kids who have native American in them also.
They have been using other kids i believe along with teachers to give these students a very hard time in school.
That's why it is hard to get children to school I believe.
I believe it goes along with who a child's parents &/or family voted for as well.
@@lindalauer1434 I agree. I stopped sending my children to public school years ago due to the bullying, drugs, abusive staff, I got so tired of them and I don't regret it either. Now babies are going to school and being killed there. I'll never use a public school system again.
@@q.t.gamingfamily I know it is a very good choice however, it is definitely not fair & leaves more room for the training against black/brown people to get more prominent against the races.
Prisons is a money making business like a hotel all rooms are taken at a high cost!
Straight facts ever since convic leasing
Amen! I knew these things were going to happen when this country started privatization. WS were helping their friends and family make money off of the suffering of Blacks that includes your judges, prosecutors, lawyers, mayors, councilmen. etc.I can go on and on evil does what evil does.

Slavery never ended in the United States. It was rebranded. The prison industry is very much a slave industry and the police still function as slave catchers.
I'm from Memphis, I'm surprised it took people this long to figure it out.
Right! This is nothing new people in the south knows this already. Its sad but it happens & has been happening.
I also live in Memphis, and you are absolutely right. This is a common practice.
If it's well known knowledge how come no one has brought it to a national spotlight??
@@DV-lr8ec It’s being brought out to the open/fore front now but it has been going on for many many years. It’s nothing new in this good ol place America it’s a lot of things get swept under the rug.

Bless this woman for bringing this to attention!
SAD TO SAY NOT SURPRISED NOR SHOCKED.
Facts smh
THIS IS BEYOND COMPREHENSIVELY DISTURBING!!😮😮😨😨
This judge needs to be arrested. She IS a devil, God HAS A GOOD PLACE FOR HERE!
America has bo more surprises left to stun us who live outside the USA abd I bet you this judge she profess to be a Christian and God fearing as I always say religions people are worse than the devil himself.
Black people need to vote her out.
She got that whyte supremacist kkk look about her that is just raw and evil. What do you bet that she is getting some financial kickback from this demonic practice
Amen
Most of the people that work in these sorts of places are exactly that... I am convinced it just some devil worshippers who like to torture and have full control over people, including their biology and health... There is some REALLY sick stuff going on
This woman should be arrested immediately who the hell does she think she is? I feel so bad for the children.
@JaniseFrost for sure a Devil.
They're trying to get rid of my black children this is how much this country hate black people it's just a gotdamn shame😵😵😵!
She looks like a female devil grandmaster of the kkk and Rutherford County needs to make her ars pay for the 11 million dollar judgement. After all, she is a judge so it was meant for her (Judgemeant).
I agree with you 100%
I feel so sorry for the childern and their Parents
Everybody involved should go to prison for the rest of there lives for this sick and insane plot! How can these people do this to children and get away with it 🤔
Did they just snatch up innocent children out of classrooms for no reason? The kids broke the rules/laws. One may can argue that their punishment was too severe, but acting like all of these children were completely innocent is disingenuous.
KEEP WATCHING AND YOU WILL C
@@dougsholly9323 WHAT???😡 If only one child went to jail for truancy they should all go to jail period, these are children, if they were white kids youd be outraged FOH... But people storm the Capitol Building and they shouldn't be in jail right??
@@KillaSlick77 First, I have no idea the racial makeup of these kids. That doesn't matter to me. But leave it all up to jackasses like you to make everything racial.Yeah, jail seems excessive, but these are not church going kids. They are probably all hoodlums. And what does the capitol riots have to do with this? Yes, those people should be in jail... just like the people that caused the evacuation of and subsequently burned to the ground the police station in Kenosha. Just like the large group of people that attacked the federal courthouse in Portland. And just like that large group of jackasses in Seattle that took over a section of the city and actually declared it a separate country (which, by the way, is much closer to the definition of 'insurrection'). They are all criminals. They should all be in jail.
@@dougsholly9323 what about the people who stormed the capital in Michigan with long guns threatening the the lives of the Michigan law makers? Should they have gone to jail? The parents going to school board meetings threatening those members to the point that they have to have security details? Should they get the same punishment?
There should be a group in each State to look over judges record
Absolutely!!
To be arrested for watching a fight between two other people rises to the level of insanity. In all my years I have never heard of that. Unbelievable
Me neither
Well! Don't expect Racist Joe and lock,em up Harris to do anything about it. But for those of you who voted for this Administration you should go chew both your hand off cause like Joe said YOU AIN'T BLACK. And hell to the no I ain't a Trump Supporter either. BLACK PEOPLE MUST DO BETTER....
I promise that the "youffs" who were locked up weren't just "watching a fight". I would bet my next paycheck she's telling a half truth or even outright lying.
So, I take it there’s no boxing prize fights in Rutherford county because they’d have a mass arrest of the spectators.
@@regwill1229 say it again but louder
They've been doing that for a very long time... Smfh.
😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬 why aren't the parents going to see her PERSONALLY????? Sure she isn't that secure
Exactly
I couldn't agree more, there should be protest and demand of a federal investigation.
@@Teetee554 if they jailed my child, oh.... it's going to be MUCH more serious. Y'all can protest my freedom after I go see her PERSONALLY, with my "lil friend". Because she didn't care about ruining lives...BET, I can too!!!🤬🤬🤬
Right ✅
Because parents are failing at being parents which why their bad ass kids are coming in contact with the police.
The Judge Bank Account should be check to see if she is getting kick back from the Prison System. I'm just saying.
When it comes to children, judges and others in the system being described, should ALL BE CHARGED with HATE CRIMES and prosecuted. If they are placed behind bars and/or in solitary confinement, they might behave more humanely.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Its a pure hate crime but she's a judge so guess its ok
@@drewill8806 no more repercussions consequences Vengeance and recompense All Belongs to the Lord the good Lord
Only repercussions for innocent children ? Coming to school to learn .scary bcuz yall only heard about what she was caught doing and not the people who was victimized some of those kids are probably grown already . worst than taking money from a homeless i hope God blesses that bitter person
@@drewill8806 so you have served you will be served what you sown shall be reaped on top of that we are ancestors there is nothing new Under the Sun

This system is clearly not designed for us. I don't think their was one man sitting at the table when these laws were made!
Nor BIPOC
I doubt that there was any African American
That's because we have lost control and failed to hold them accountable for last 100 years. We have to step up, get involved. State/national assemblies and citizen grand juries.
They may have had literally swinging balls but, not true men.
Class action suit!!!
Local attorneys are doing that pro-Bono. Deadline October 27th.
@@snicksabea thank you for that most excellent news👍🏼🤞
Recently learnt that she ran an operation which trafficked children from other states, wondering whether those neighbouring States also used similar home made laws to steal those children from their families too. Also wondering whether that could be seen as kidnap/trafficking. As well, if any of those children were made to do ANY level/kind of work, that would be child exploitation, and could it then be parlayed to slavery?
This looks set to be one of those seminal reputation making cases, which moral and motivated attorney's would pray for.. More power to them.
The class action lawsuit already settled for 11 million. Looks like all the kids involved will get a piece of that.
The crazy thing is this has happened in every state in America!
This is so evil. WE need to stay on top of this. How, how can WE as a people stop this? Petitions, boycott, what can WE do?
A judge that need a cell for her self.
For the rest of her life.😡
She definitely need an abusive roommate.
This ain’t happening in just Tennessee.
All South. Alot of these kids go to juvenile at young age and there sentences send them straight to prison. I have meet a couple of these young men who told me they was scared to leave prison because all they knew was prison. The system took there lives before they knew what having a life was. Sh-t sad.
@@tokyoconey2464 precisely. In Louisiana we have the highest incarceration rate in the nation for males under 35 and last in the nation in education to match. The state is so poor that a large portion of the money is coming in from privatized prisons and the black men that fill them undergo slave labor.
Im sure all those "youffs" were innocent of any wrongdoing. I also have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.
@@318DoubleE
Are those males innocent of what they were convicted of? If yes, let's get them out of prison. If no, they are were they belong.
I hear people say we do not deserve reparations this country still torturing us
STILL!!! 👌🏽
EXACTLY, and many of us don’t know our family tree because of slavery since our names were given by master , blacks made up their names up, we have to find out which master held our ancestors and if they kept records
@@vrogue8026 Most did not. We all should share solidarity in the fact we are B1 and go from there. It's easy to prove if you are FBA, and if you don't know then you're probably not. Our justice claim is best represented through the ADOS movement. Hopefully we can come together and get this done right for our children. My children will not be mixed in with Babylon. FBA needs to seriously get back to our roots and learn to live off the land. I don't see how the enemy can attack us with full strength if we are self-sufficient.
Nigga plz
Whoever has the audacity to say we don't need reparations need some serious help.
This white lady is dancing around all of the questions being asked. She was asked if she thought the system was racist and she talked about two black officers and what they thought
Sounds jittery
You should know by now that these people stand in for each other. If they are letting this out now then this is just scratching the surface, the issue is 100x worse.
I caught that!
Plus the lady looked like a very light skinned black woman.
She looks like she's passing as white.
Would anybody commenting here be willing to help her with any possible lawsuits which could result from making certain statements?
@@tommiebrooks8573 it would be better to demand action that will bring justice for these kids and the community. Obsessing about the colour and tone of her skin when she is delivering such a serious message about a monumental issue is frankly a bit petty
Immediately dropped all charges free the children and get them counseling. And fire judge plus all that were involved and put them in jail.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Behold the face of Evil. It's an overfed face, stuffed with the lives of Black children.
This hurts me to my core. These people need serious prison time. That judge needs to be whipped.
Thank you, for bringing these horrific patterns and practices to light. The judge should be jailed. This is ridiculous!!!!
The DOJ needs to investigate and prosecute everyone in the state of Tennessee, that is involved in these racist acts. The judge should be thrown in jail and denied bail. She should remain in jail until her trial. The trail should be a year after her arrest. The same for everyone else involved.
Theres a reason for separation of church and state .
why?
@@darleneclarke4001 this corruption
Can anyone tell me that these people that is doing these wickedness to those children are not devils. The devil is not what or who Christianity have been telling the world.

Where is the FEDS? LIKE THE LADY SAID, WHERE ARE THEY?
What?! Nothing was done to this wicked so-called judge? This whole story is disturbing and I can’t believe ppl are just standing by allowing this to take place instead of reacting and demanding justice.
This is happening across the country and nothing is happening
Why do black people keep believing in this corrupt wicked and evil system that was created by her ancestors, they're created for this wickedness accept this reality and protect your love one nothing going to change in our lifetime.
In the article looks like the principal let this happen. If you're taking my kids to jail you're taking me too.
How is it possible for her and her cronies to still have their jobs and avoid prosecution?
My questions is...where are these children parents? And why have they not bought this to the light long ago?
they probably tried but it was a judge and a state can only push so far without help from a entire nation

You think she has stock in the local private prison?
Idk, however there is a company called CoreCivic that runs four private prisons in TN that has had a lot of problems, diabetic patients being denied insulin, one of their prisons had an outbreak of scabies. There is also a huge shortage of guards. Parents of one child blamed lack of staffing and oversight for their son’s suicide.

The reporter had passion for this story. You could hear it in her voice. Great job and she asked great questions. Don't hear the humanity in news much anymore.
How can she say it's God's work when she thinks she's God. Then again?
Check into that judge's relationship to the facility (who owns facility and/or land), and what profits she makes from it (such as stocks). Follow the money.
This needs to go viral...
Each child should have an advocate appointed as soon as they "enter the system" the laws protecting minors data allow so much unaccountability.
The judges, cops, correction officers and the lawyers who put black innocent people in jail for no reason will reap what they sow and gets what's coming to them in Jesus Christ name.
She’s going right to the top of possible Republican federal judicial nominees. Definitely MAGA material !
Thanks to this young lady for exposing this. I believe that this exists in more than most cities and states tbh.
Why? We know it has to do with power and fear. Best wishes to those in Tennessee. This is another seed planted for a justice whose time has come. Our children count, a better world is possible, the light has been cast.
If we would stop using poverty and the legal system for an economic purpose. The judicial system is an industry and the investment in the overall operation of our legal system makes it more imperative to keep the revenue flowing as opposed to justices.
Lawsuits need paid from the employee's and not the tax payers.
Conditions and response.

“I assert most unhesitatingly, that the religion of the south is a mere covering for the most horrid crimes, - a justifier of the most appalling barbarity, - a sanctifier of the most hateful frauds, - and a dark shelter under, which the darkest, foulest, grossest, and most infernal deeds of the slaveholders find the strongest protection. Were I to be again reduced to the chains of slavery, next to enslavement, I should regard being the slave of a religious master the greatest calamity that could befall me. For of all slaveholders with whom I have ever met, religious slaveholders are the worst. I have ever found them the meanest and basest, the most cruel and cowardly, of all others.” - Frederick Douglass
