Ohio man in custody after kneeling on crying White child's neck, praising Black Lives Matter
The banner across the photo read: “Blm now mf”
An
Ohio man who was out on parole has been thrown in jail and awaits new
felony charges after a photo circulated on social media showing him posing with his
knee to the neck of a crying, White 2-year-old boy alongside a message referencing
Black Lives Matter.
The photo shows a man, who has since been identified as 20-year-old Isaiah Jackson, with his knee on the neck of a crying white toddler who is only wearing a diaper. Another person holds the child’s hands behind his back. The banner across the photo read: “Blm now mf."
Patrol units were able to determine the location where the incident took place and made contact with both the mother and the child, as well as the male subject seen kneeling in the image, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office said in
an update on Facebook Thursday. The relationship between Jackson and the child's mother is unknown.
Meanwhile, an Atlanta-area high school special education teacher is under fire for purportedly commenting beneath the same photo once it made its way to Facebook further encouraging the violence against the white child.
According to
WGCL-TV, Cedar Grove High School Interrelated Teacher Brian Papin commented beneath the photo, writing: “Again! Your [sic] doing it wrong! One knee on the center of the back one one [sic] the neck and lean into it until death! You saw the video! Get it right or stop f***ing around!”
