Little girl has profanity-laden meltdown at cops

Footage has been shared of a little girl in New York City, yelling at police officers who stopped her mother for alleged shoplifting. Video originally posted to TikTok shows the girl becoming extremely angry as officers question her mom, dropping F-bombs and eventually screaming that she was going to kill someone. Officers try to calm the girl as her mom protests her innocence. Eventually, the woman is led to a police car as her daughter starts to cry and pleads with the cops not to take her mom away. Viewers were immediately divided over the video, with some calling out what they saw as an example of bad parenting, and others expressing sympathy for a child unable to cope with her emotions.
