29.12.2023If you spit on someone it's assault
The idea that you should not lay hands on mini thugs is wrong headed
@fuzzbear677
29.12.2023This fool needs to be fired and arrested what kids you should know better he could have contained her without dragging her and beating her he don't need this job🤦🏾
@nwb05
23.12.2023Missing information
@dr.bibineumann3825
23.12.2023What in the world. This is attempted murder. Full stop.
@rockgangsters6092
23.12.2023Dr is a clown! It’s ask not axe! The s is in front of the k. He likes big words but can’t pronounce a one syllable three letter word. 😂
@rockgangsters6092
23.12.2023Missing context in this story Dr!
@Pmc987
23.12.2023How did that guard make it out the gym? Doesn’t matter what she did, beating her is not an appropriate response. How did parents not jump his ass?
@LeoBaker-ir3vo
23.12.2023If a security beats a violently assaults a black girl, hes immediately fired and there is talk of an arrest.
A cop could do the exact same thing and he would get a paid vacation and a promotion.

@sharoncaesar8172
23.12.2023How come he isn’t charged!!!!!
@sharoncaesar8172
23.12.2023If he has a house take it away!!!!
@madanthonywayne260
23.12.2023I don’t believe the girl and her mom. That girl spit in that’s man’s face. These kids are out of control. The security guard is wrong for hurting her so bad though.
@estherphelps3606
22.12.2023Power evil do you feel better hurting that young girl
@JoyceWoodruff-cb6lh
22.12.2023YOU DON'T SPIT ON NOBODY..NOT EVERYBODY HANDLES THEM SPITTING DEVILS LIKE JESUS DID.. WE KNOW THAT'S THE DEVIL WHEN PEOPLE SPIT ON PEOPLE. YES IT IS.
@tonypoole3736
22.12.2023No arrest needed. He needs a different kind of justice. That can only come from a certain place.
@robin4942
22.12.2023He's an abuser and has no respect for females
@7Wallstreet
22.12.2023Conveniently, the video doesn't show what led to the assault, just the reaction.
Dr. '1- Sided' Richey's at it again.

22.12.2023"It's not really about the hoodie, that's just an excuse. It's all about power."
@dustyking8851
22.12.2023Why was there a problem with her wearing a hoodie? Had she been disruptive or obnoxious? I do want to see the entire video, but the idea adults dragged her down bleachers & beaten is horrible.
What the hell was this guy thinking??
@thezzrutts
22.12.2023The security guard must be black becuase the didnt say white security guard ,they didnt put his pic on blast and and say the security guard name 20 times lol ghey said adult security guard..doc im starting to think your racist.
@nancynevels2238
22.12.2023This is a Child,How dare you,A Male, brutalize a female child like this???? You need to be arrested and charged with assault!! You Don’t Need to be Around Children if you Can’t Control Your Own Actions!! Pitiful!! 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
@travisbrown6595
22.12.2023Where’s all the whites rushing to say “A man should never put his hands on a woman” when it comes to a black man defending himself against the attacks of white women? They’re eerily silent now, and this is a child!
@asentertainment2051
21.12.2023All this over a hoodie? But there's no evidence of the face spitting. Regardless, a properly trained security officer would've never let it escalate to that point for a teenage kid.
@tyronnedavis
21.12.2023Don't spit people's face. He shouldn't have done that, but don't spit in people's face!
@candycoatedcyanide3267
21.12.2023How do you handle a non compliant 15 year old 💀
@blackdiamond306
21.12.2023The reason why the security guard is not being held liable is because spitting is an offense and can result in time in prison and handle like someone who has a weapon 🌄🦍❤️
@bubbiesdad
21.12.2023A white security guard would have handled it differently.
@chocolatecake9188
21.12.2023Well she shouldn’t have spit on the guard.
@chocolatecake9188
21.12.2023I don’t care because these 16-16 years old are fucking bad
@LordRa777
21.12.2023Well wow this story may not sound believable it just may be. Whenever we hear about a man beating on a woman we say it's not right because the man is stronger but here we have a situation where a man beat up on a woman and she was a juvenile and he was obviously bigger. And just because something doesn't sound believable doesn't mean it isnt. Before the Advent of cell phone with cameras and videos to the extent we have nowadays it was always said that the video will tell the story now that we have videos people want to second-guess and even disbelieve what a video shows even when it shows it complete and to the point. Videos don't lie, people will and do. No one saw the spitting yet everyone saw the violence and we have video of the violence so that should be taken into account. Everything that can be proven should be held and be held accountable to the person in which it pertains to. No proof no leg to stand on.
@peteantonio1601
21.12.2023there is a strong possibility either this guy is a cop or was a cop, cops like to beat girls so it has all the makings of a pig,
@salingstuff8085
21.12.2023She was really being racially profiled over a hoodie at a school basketball game
@annickeyoung5547
20.12.2023This incident is not even 5 miles from my home, TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, like you said, THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER DONE THIS TO A WHITE CHILD OR Mexican CHILD AT THIS SCHOOL!!!
@Darksaige
20.12.2023Dalton and Thorton township in the news for something other than their coo-koo mayor in Dalton and supervisor in Thorton and yes the two roles are served by the same person and she is RUNNING IT UP and not in a good way
@sherribatko8981
20.12.2023No grown a@@ man has the right nor authority to put his hands on a 15 yesr old girl
He needs to be arrested for physical assault of a minor. He's supposed to be the damn adult in the room
Please follow up on this, he needs to be locked up
@Jade7159-
20.12.2023He was wrong for his violence. The teen should have just taken her hoodie off and respected the guard.
@jamesbarksdale6268
20.12.2023I hope that security guard know how to run when the game over
@eamorrison859
20.12.2023Doc, come on now. Let's not act like some of these children in these certain areas act as if they're grown. The mommas can't tell them anything. So they think they can speak to any adult that way.
She learned a valuable lesson that day. Everyone ain't yo momma.
@nancismith7705
20.12.2023It doesn’t matter what race a 15 year old girl is, no adult male can assault that girl. That is totally disgusting! I hope the mother holds the school accountable for hiring that despicable man! The video shows the assault so the school is liable for the injuries!
@Themonsta875
20.12.2023Mane it’s wrong but I hope she really didn’t spit in his face! Some people do lose it but now he gone lose his freedom!🤦🏾
@lesliewilliams9838
20.12.2023Sad sue him and school
@shawnwilliams4485
20.12.2023She need to sue security guard company, the school district, the school principal.
@762l61
13.12.2023This is why I say black girls and women are not protected this is abuse
@molvok
13.12.2023Why u dont provide the name and the face of the shityy security guard in question?? I love ur show, but sometimes i see that u never put the face or the names of the perpetrators!!
@adamf.585
13.12.2023Whites🤡
@chrisester2910
13.12.2023Even if this CHILD did spit at the guard, that does not justify him putting his hands on her, beating her. This is child abuse.
It is unfortunate that the path to change this is civil lawsuits…
@ArticSun
13.12.2023If it's true. Don't spit on me. If you can't handle the consequences .
@derekgoncz7970
13.12.2023No cameras in the school?
@sharabryan1416
13.12.2023My God!!!
@dorine5636
13.12.2023Watching a game with your hoodie is a crime ???? Well well well !!!!!
