Police in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, shot a 14-year-old Black child five times near Hattiesburg High School, on the morning of Jan 27. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment in the ICU.
The police department and the local news reported that a “man” was shot. Speaking to the racist history of dehumanization of Black people, Reginald Virgil, President and co-founder of Black Lives Matter Mississippi, said, “They weren’t clear at all about him being a young boy. That is misleading and deceitful and providing misinformation. Typically, young [Black] boys are ‘adultified’ at a very young age.”
A 2014 study found that Black boys are perceived as less innocent within a criminal justice context, and as more appropriate targets of police violence. Black children are also 18 times more likely to be tried as adults than are white children in the criminal justice system.
