Both sides of a lawsuit that alleges two police officers mistreated a 5-year-old boy after he walked away from his elementary school say they are willing to negotiate a settlement.
In January, the family of the boy filed a lawsuit against the county and school board, alleging the police harassed, threatened and assaulted the boy.
Several weeks after the lawsuit was filed, the police department released one officer’s body camera footage that shows the officers yelling at the child, calling him names like “little beast” and “bad,” screaming in his face, placing handcuffs around one wrist and coaching his mother about how to “beat” him without getting in trouble. Throughout much of the video, the boy is crying, sometimes in hysterics.

On Wednesday, Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich unveiled the county’s Climate Action Plan.
At the Marian Fryer Town Plaza in Downtown Wheaton, Elrich said the county’s climate goals aim to cut greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 80% by 2027 and 100% by 2035 compared to 2005 levels.
“They are among the most ambitious in the world,” Elrich said.
The plan outlines 86 climate actions and the county expects to act on 75 in the fiscal year 2022. Recommendations focus on reducing emissions in energy, buildings and transportation, reducing climate risk and centering racial equity, among other recommendations.
Elrich said it will take all county residents to make the plan successful. He said Montgomery County should treat the climate crisis with the same level of urgency as the COVID-19 pandemic.
