A video of adults, who are off-camera, exchanging profanities, insults and sexual comments with a young, diaper-clad boy has stirred online discussion and raised questions about why the Omaha police union would post the video on Facebook and its website.

John Wells, Omaha police union president, described the video as an example of how the cycle of violence and “thuggery” continues in Omaha.

“We here at OmahaPOA.com viewed the video and we knew that despite the fact that it is sickening, heartbreaking footage, we have an obligation to share it to continue to educate the law-abiding public about the terrible cycle of violence and thuggery that some young innocent children find themselves helplessly trapped in,” the police union blog post said.

In the video, a man jokingly cusses at the boy and asks him to curse back. The boy does and at one point, raises his middle finger to the camera.

1. I can't watch the video. This crap makes me, literally, sick to my stomach.

2. Was the video filmed in Omaha? Or is just a random video of black people behaving in a way that's

sad and ugly? Because there are a ton of videos out there of white people doing the same thing.

Also, this quote makes no sense:

“Unfortunately, there is no crime against raising your kids that way,” Wells said. “It is quite the snapshot into violent crime culture happening in Omaha.”

This video provides quite the snapshot of how the police view their role in Omaha, I'd say.
