12-year-old black kid gets cops called on him for cutting neighbors' grass

[workinclasszero]

Brad Reed 29 JUN 2018 AT 12:14 ET

A 12-year-old black child had the police called on him simply for mowing the lawn as part of his summer business.

News 5 Cleveland reports that 12-year-old Reginald Fields was mowing the lawn of Lucille Holt, a resident of Maple Heights, Ohio, when suddenly police officers pulled up near where he was working.

The police were on the scene because Holt’s neighbors had called 911 and claimed that Fields had inadvertently cut some of the grass on their property and they wanted the police to come ask him to stop.

“They said I was cutting their grass,” Fields told News 5 Cleveland. “I didn’t know it!”

Even though Fields said he was initially discouraged that someone would call the cops on him for mowing a neighbor’s lawn, he has been encouraged by the support that he has received from people in the community — and he’s even seen his business orders pick up after his story garnered media attention.

“Just give me a call,” he tells News 5 Cleveland. “I will be there. On time!”

1. Cleveland. Area Cops & kids have a history

& BTW F thst neighbor.

[OnlinePoker]

2. ...Fields had inadvertently cut some of the grass on their property...

FFS go out and talk to him about it!! Cops are getting called for everything these days. There are real crimes that need to be addressed, not this shit.

[mythology]

6. Or be happy you got part of your yard cut for free.

[lagomorph777]

19. Holy shit go out and bring him a lemonade, stupid git!

(not you, poster, I'm addressing the moron who called the cops).

[ProfessorGAC]

53. That's The First Thing I Thought, Myth

You cut part of my grass, meaning that is one patch i don't have to worry about, and i call the cops? I'd have to have lost my mind!

[Caliman73]

8. Seriously!!

If I have a problem with my neighbor, I approach them and politely address it. If it continues, then I question them as to why considering that we had addressed it. If they are hostile or it continues to happen, THEN I elevate the situation. If some kid cut my grass on accident I would simply say, "Oh hey, if you go past that line of sprinklers, you are on my lawn" or something to that effect.

[workinclasszero]

11. I wish some kid would accidentally mow my lawn!

Once a week would be great!

[calimary]

37. Oh for Fuck's Sake...

[Delmette2.0]

46. Frivolous 911 callers should be fined!!

[uponit7771]

66. +1

[dameatball]

76. For some reason I already thought they could be. I guess not.

I am old enough to remember pre-911 capability. When they first rolled it out there was a huge amount of information to the public which explained why NOT to use it and tie up LEO's and emergency responders from legitimate calls.

[flibbitygiblets]

77. Or, perhaps 911 operators should be trained to tell idiots to fuck off

That's the missing link here. Do the police HAVE to come out to respond to a report of "young man mowing the lawn"?

NO. No they DON'T.

The operators should be trained to either tell the person to stop wasting taxpayer money, or refer to a 2nd-tier person who can explain to these "nuisance callers" that next time there's someone actually breaking into their home, police might not be there in time to save them if they're out harassing 12-year olds for trying to do honest work. Maybe throw in a reminder to try and be a better neighbor and be a teensy-weensy bit less of an entitled white supremacist, if it's not too much trouble.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

78. +1000

A kid trying to attack you with a lawnmower is one thing. A kid mowing a yard, even the wrong one, is NOT AN EMERGENCY! Get some common sense people and stop wasting law enforcement and emergency services' time!!! And law enforcement and emergency services need to learn some discretion too I agree!

[Delmette2.0]

80. Much better than my suggestion.

A fine would just be disputed in court and waste more time and taxpayers money.

[AdamGG]

84. "911 - what's your emergency"

It's surprising that kid cutting the grass made the cut for police dispatch. They probably didn't say anything racial to the 911 operator, so it's incompetence at fault as much as the caller's racism. If the caller wasn't disabled, why wouldn't the operator tell them to ask the kid to stop themselves?

[cannabis_flower]

85. If you are going to call the police at all...

call the police non-emergency line.

[DesertRat]

90. Yes!

[47of74]

100. Hell they should be jailed

There are statutes on the books for that.

[mythology]

3. The stupid it burns

You would think some of these people would recognize the negative publicity these things get and stop calling the police.

[forgotmylogin]

26. GOOD HEAVENS.

Someone got mad because some of the grass on their property was inadvertently trimmed.

I can't tell you how many times I mowed people's lawns as a teen for money and their neighbors would always jokingly suggest I missed a spot - their entire lawn - because they'd love to get their grass cut as well while someone else was paying. "You need to cut a couple stripes over this way! Haw, haw!"

I'm white though.

[George II]

74. It's not because the grass got cut, it was who cut it that was the problem for these people.

[forgotmylogin]

79. Yep, exactly.

[Beartracks]

92. Based on what?

I see the story mentions "black kid" in the title and opening paragraph, but race is otherwise not mentioned. Anywhere. For the neighbors, the caller, nothing.

Unless you simply meant to imply that the caller has something against kids in general...?

==========

[rpannier]

104. According to the article these neighbors seem to call the police a lot

In a video about the incident posted on Facebook, Holt said that his neighbors had frequently called the police to complain about children in the area — and she said they even called the police once because neighborhood children were having a snowball fight.

(Holt is the woman whose grass was being cut.)
The neighbors appear to just be jerks
THey should have cited them

[rumble]

73. Are you saying it happened more than once?

[exboyfil]

4. They left out part of the story

Where the cops cited the neighbor for an improper 911 call. No, that didn't happen. Why not?

In effect the neighbor tried to SWAT a 12 year old kid.

[dalton99a]

13. Bingo

[Garrett78]

75. That's what needs to happen. Start punishing these racist assholes.

And then broadcast it far and wide that this is what will happen if you all don't knock this shit off.

[Beartracks]

94. Why have you decided the caller was racist?

Not enough info in the story. I see the story mentions "black kid" in the title and opening paragraph, but race is otherwise not mentioned. Anywhere. For the neighbors, the caller, nothing.

[Joe Chi Minh]

98. Rubbish ! Shame on you for such disingenuous pedantry on

a topic such as this. Shame ! Shame ! Shame ! Yogi Bear was smarter than you. Rupert for that matter.

[MaryMagdaline]

103. We're not blind or stupid

If the 911 caller doesn’t know that he is putting a 12 year-old black child at risk by sicking police on him, then he better learn quick. I’m not giving benefit of doubt to get-off-my-lawn guy. He’s presumptively an evil asshole just for calling 911.

[rpannier]

105. The people next door (according to Mr Holt0 have a history of calling the police

In a video about the incident posted on Facebook, Holt said that his neighbors had frequently called the police to complain about children in the area — and she said they even called the police once because neighborhood children were having a snowball fight.

[MaryMagdaline]

108. Conclusively even then, not just presumptively evil

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

5. Probably were hoping

the cowboy crew would show up and start shooting.

[Solly Mack]

7. Damn

I am not about to complain about someone inadvertently mowing my lawn. If anything, I'm hoping they'll keep mowing until they are done. I'd happily pay for the oopsie too.

[louis-t]

36. A company accidentally fertilized my lawn once.

[Solly Mack]

42. Did you complain?

[louis-t]

59. N-n-n-n-ope.

Did a happy dance.

[Solly Mack]

71. I would have been dancing right beside you.

Now if someone would accidentally clean my house on a weekly basis. Woohoo!

Besides me, that is. All cleaning in my house is purely accidental.

Well, OK. That's not exactly true either.

The dogs seem to think it's an invasion by noisy machines.

[GoCubsGo]

9. I wonder how that racist dipshits feel knowimg that their actions

drummed up extra business for this kid. Dumbasses. And, a bloody cowardly to boot. They couldn't just go out and politely ask the kid to not cut their grass? They had to call the cops on him? I hope they get slapped with a fine for abusing 911 services.

[appalachiablue]

27. +1

[Beartracks]

93. How is the caller racist?

Based on what we know from the story? I see the story mentions "black kid" in the title and opening paragraph, but race is otherwise not mentioned. Anywhere. For the neighbors, the caller, nothing.

[LanternWaste]

112. Colloquially referred to as "most likely."

"How is the caller racist?"

Mathematics of probability. Colloquially referred to as "most likely."

But I'm sure many people will pretend that were the child blond and Anglo, the precise same would have happened.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. I'm glad the kid got more business, but how stupid is it

to call the cops when a kid accidentally mows part of your lawn? How hard would it be to just go outside and (nicely, one would hope) point out to the kid where the property line is and please don't mow on this side of it? But no, dumbass has to call the cops. On a twelve-year-old.

[dalton99a]

12. In other words, they would be ok with the cops shooting him dead.

[lunasun]

32. Truth too many sickos don't want to see that nice kid out side their front window . Don't care how

[JI7]

96. yup , who the fuck calls cops on something like this

if they really had a problem with it just let him know .

[Ohiogal]

14. Such idiots!

Ugh!

[unblock]

15. Ah, neighbors and lawn mowing

First house I had, the neighbor welcomed me by mowing my entire lawn -- with a push reel mower, no less! That was a great neighbor.

When I moved, first time I mowed my lawn the neighbors banged on the door and yelled at me for going, they claim, half a mower's width over the property line onto their lawn. Never could find out why this was a problem for them. Anyway, we had to find the surveyor's marks and plant a line of string to mark the line to prevent future problems.

Why they thought an ugly piece of string on the lawn was better I have no idea.

[MineralMan]

16. Where I live, neighbors generally cut a little into

their neighbor's lawn when they mow, just to make sure they cut all of theirs. We seem to trade off. When I mow, I cut the grass between my neighbor's house and mine. When the neighbor mows, he does the same. That strip of grass generally gets mowed twice every week.

Now, if my neighbor or I were fanatic lawn people with special turf grass or something like that, it would probably be different. But both of our lawns consist of whatever is green, so it doesn't matter. We did set both of our mowers to the same height, though. If one of us is out of town, the other mows the front yards of both houses.

WTF? It's neighborly to do that kind of stuff.

[Lochloosa]

21. I was just about to post the same thing. My neighbors and I do the same thing.

I've cut the grass for my neighbors when they go on vacation. Not because they asked, but because it's the neighborly thing to do.

[MineralMan]

25. Well, not all neighbors are neighborly, I guess.

I'm glad I don't live next door to a lawn freak. There are a few in my 'hood. They pay for lawn care services, but mow themselves. They're out there for a couple of hours, mowing in both directions, carefully raking every blade that doesn't go into their grass-catcher, edging, and all that stuff. No weeds in their lawns.

They get all bent out of shape if a neighbor's lawn has a few dandelions in it, or if there is creeping charlie anywhere nearby.

Me? I mow what is there. It's all green. The dandelions help the bees early in the spring. The bunnies love the plantain weeds and wild violets. My neighbor on one side doesn't mind any of that. The other neighbor mows twice a summer, for pete's sake. Fortunately, 90% of her lawn is creeping charlie, so it's not so bad.

[Lochloosa]

28. LOL...we would make good neighbors. A park ranger in NC once told my wife...

a weed is just a plant growing where you don't want it to.

[ProudLib72]

39. I share a snake with my neighbors

I think it lives mainly in our yard, but it gets scared any time I mow and moves quickly to the neighbor's yard. Then they mow, and the snake moves back to our yard.

Last year it was only a foot and a half long. I found a shed skin and hung it up on the fence between our lawns so the neighbor kids (2 and 4 years old) could see it. Their mother made a face at that. She is afraid of the snake. So the first time I saw the snake this year I made sure to tell her how it had grown another six inches!

[MineralMan]

40. Excellent. Since we have dogs, no snakes live in our yard.

There's plenty of other wildlife, though. We're the neighborhood's bird and critter feeders. We're used to children walking by and staring at whatever creatures are visiting.

[ProudLib72]

44. That reminds me. One of our dogs "discovered" the snake early this spring

Our dog is a lab/rottie mix who is a very investigative sniffer arounder. She went out in the yard to poke around and came across the snake as it was trying to warm up. Unfortunately for the snake, the weather was cold and overcast that day. Our dog did not know what to make of the snake. She knew it was alive (it must have been moving ever so slightly). She would cautiously sniff it and then jump back. Approach, sniff, jump back. I finally got her to leave it alone. If I hadn't, she would probably have brought it inside to continue her investigation, at which point it would have warmed up to the point it could slither around quickly.

She did the same thing with a horny toad she found on a hike. We saw the horny toad, took a look, and kept going. Our dog could not stop her investigation. After continuing on another few hundred feet, we noticed she wasn't with us. Then we saw her come bounding along toward us with the horny toad in her mouth. Luckily for all animals involved in her investigations, she has an incredibly soft mouth (she gets from the lab half).

[MineralMan]

55. Well, one of our dogs found a toad (bufo variety) in the backyard.

Of course, it sniffed and then picked Mr. or Ms. Toad up in its mouth. Toad did what toads do when picked up, which is to exude a foul-tasting substance from its skin and urinate copiously. Doggie dropped the toad and retched for about a minute. It hasn't bothered the toad ever since. Poor doggie learned a lesson about toads, though.

[hibbing]

48. I'm like you

I'm happy if it is green, whatever it is. Except half my backyard is white clover, which seems to NEVER stop blooming! I see a lot of bees on them, I still mow it, but in this heat I have my mower set where it doesn't get all the flowers.


Peace

[jberryhill]

58. Some people seem to take it as an assertion of adverse possession

There are a few nutters in the suburbs who believe that if someone regularly cuts a strip on their side of the line that it is the vanguard of an attempt to later claim possession by having maintained it.

[ProfessorGAC]

56. I Do It All The Time

I live on a corner so there's only the one yard next door, but with our landscaping, it's a little hard to see (garden around a big sycamore) who's yard ends where. So, both of us end up cutting the same couple feet. I keep my blade really sharp (EGO electric mower) and cut shorter, so it's usually pretty easy to see where the line is, even if she just cut a couple days ago. But, doesn't hurt either of us, and there's never been an issue with it.

I think we both see it as both of us keeping our property neat.

[MineralMan]

61. Sensible people don't worry about things like that.

Conversely, people who worry about things like that are rarely sensible.

Sadly, in every neighborhood, there are always a few people who have no common sense at all. Those, you just have to tolerate and try to avoid annoying too much. It's usually possible to establish some sort of impasse with such folks, but usually only after figuring out how to keep from annoying them.

Fortunately, my neighbor whose property borders on mine with no driveway between us is very sensible. We even cooperated in building a neat 4' chain link fence between our rear yards a few years ago. We split the cost and both worked to install it. I'm the handy one of us, so I did the design and led the construction. My neighbor pitched in with some fence post hole digging and chain link fabric installation. We got the dogs fenced in, and he got a fenced yard for his kids to play in, and all with no labor cost.

[Delmette2.0]

57. I'm between two neighbors that are polar opposites.

On one side I own 3/4 of the grass. So my sprinkler system waters the grass and they do the mowing. On the other side the guy harassed my son's friend who did my mowing. The neighbor repeatedly told my son's friend to stop mowing my yard. The neighbor eventually gave up and left him alone.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. For God's sake, were those idiots too afraid of a 12 year old AA kid that

they couldn't walk out the door and politely show him the location of the property line?

Years ago, a renter in the house next door came 30 feet into my yard and dug up my blooming tulips and attempted to transplant them next to her porch. Of course, they died. She said she thought they belonged to her landlord. Guess I should have called the police since she took and destroyed about $40 worth of bulbs.

[safeinOhio]

18. Give it a week or two and

if it doesn't grow back, give em a call.

[phylny]

20. When we lived in Indiana,

we had neighbors from India. We came home from vacation one year to find our lawn had been mowed. We questioned the teenaged boy who live next-door, wanting to pay him for his work, and he said, “No ma’am, I can’t accept any money. My father said this is what neighbors do for each other.” After getting permission from his parents, my husband took him for a nice motorcycle ride.

They were just great neighbors. Our 18-month-old daughter adored Mr. Shah. When he saw her outside he would stretch out his arms and say, “Where is my baby girl!?”

[workinclasszero]

22. Aww

What great neighbors huh?

A good neighbor is a joy and a blessing for sure.

[lpbk2713]

23. Yup. Looks like a dangerous character to me.

Next thing you know he'll be trimming hedges. This bad guy must be stopped.





He's busting his ass. Pushing that mower can't be easy for someone his size.

[workinclasszero]

24. IKR?

“Just give me a call,” he tells News 5 Cleveland. “I will be there. On time!”

Dangerous thinking like this needs to be nipped in the bud!

Looks like a determined hard working young man to me. The world needs more kids like this young fellow for sure!

[greatauntoftriplets]

29. What a shitty way to encourage a kid who's trying to earn some summer money.

He sounds dependable.

[arithia]

30. What a great attitude!

Young man if I had a lawn, I'd hire ya in a heartbeat.

31. Wonder if the cops checked him out for a business license

or if taxes were being paid on his wages

[McCamy Taylor]

33. Maybe the neighbors have something to hide in their yard.

If I were the police, I would check out the neighbors.

[potone]

34. This is beyond absurd.

There need to be consequences for wasting police officers' time, and for harassing and intimidating people who have done nothing wrong. I very much doubt that they would have called the police if this child were white. I think the real purpose of what they did was to show that boy "his place" so that he would learn to live in fear. This has to stop! The police should not respond to such calls or, if they do, cite those who make frivolous complaints.

[secondwind]

35. I LOVE HIS SPIRIT!!! YOU GO, REGGIE! N/T

45. Called the cops because he cut their grass?

Hey, if my neighbors want to cut my on purpose or not I don't mind. Knock yourselves out.

911 is not speed dial for the complaint department.

911 is for life-and-death situations, and the cops who show up are the cops that kill people.

Stop. Calling. 9. 1. 1.

[LiberalArkie]

62. The neighbor who called had his phone set to live stream the shooting and had

already figured out what to sell the footage to the news media for.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

64. In my city there's a 311 number that you can call to report minor complaints.

It's a city service number where you can report stuff like potholes, abandoned vehicles, fireworks, graffiti, non-serious crimes - and kids mowing the wrong lawn. I would imagine a city the size of Cleveland has something like that, too. Was the neighbor really so concerned about part of their lawn being mowed by mistake that the cops had to come right now, or were they just being a racist douche who wanted the little black kid to go away? The latter, I'm guessing.

[oberliner]

69. This going viral will likely be great for this kid

[MicaelS]

70. Really pathetic how some people get so enraged about their yards.

Reminds me of that nut Boucher who attacked Paul Ryan.

Boucher, according to neighbors, was a stickler when it came to his property. He paid professionals to tend to his yard, but Paul did his own landscaping. And it may not have been up to Boucher’s standards. “He had his yard sitting at a beautiful two-and-a-half, three inches thick, where Rand cuts it to the nub,” Bill Goodwin, a Bowling Green resident who knows both men, told GQ in November.

Paul, hobbyist mower that he is, also may not have been the most attentive at the post–yard work cleanup. Boucher fretted over Paul’s grass clippings that ended up in his yard, confronting the senator and complaining to the neighborhood association. “I've asked him and I've asked him and I've asked him,” Goodwin remembers Boucher complaining about the senator’s lawn etiquette. “How long can you sit there taking someone plucking a hair out of your nose?”

[dhol82]

110. Rand Paul is such a dick.

72. I wonder

Why is the identity of the neighbor not given? Even in Lucille's FB Live, the camera is being held downward. Not showing the neighbor.

81. Just how big of an asshole do you have to be to call cops because some kid cut part of your grass?

[blueinredohio]

All the neighbors should hire him to mow their yards.

[struggle4progress]

86. "Trapped in our house, terrified! Outside, a child with a lawn-mower! Could be a gang-member!

OMG! He just mowed an inch over the property line! What if he sets up a lemonade stand? Our family feels so threatened! This used to be a nice neighborhood, back when I first mummified my wife and kids!"

[-_O_-]

87. I live in Maple Heights...

This is on the Maple facebook group, and everybody is on this kid's side. A lawn care company from Twinsburgh with Maple roots just gave the kid some new equipment and encouragement. This kid will be all right.

Unfortunately, there are assholes in every neighborhood - maybe the complainer learned something this week.

The following was just posted to the Maple Facebook group:

If you haven't done so, read the video thread about Mr Reggie and the lawn mowing kids elsewhere on the wall. The bottom line is: true Maple people do care about each other. Dan Tome has started a small fund to outfit these kids (hopefully in maroon and white). If you have PayPal and want to send a small donation to back Mr Reggie and Company, the pay-in address is [e-mail] . Dan is a longtime group member with a big big heart, so I'm sending a contribution right now.

heck, e'eryone knows the blacks don't never really WORK ... they just collect them gubmint handouts!

tell you what, them folks did right ... you don't call the cops and get that '12 year old' off your street, next thing you know your whole family, wife, kids, everyone ... is tied up and gagged in the basement while the upstairs is stripped down to the studs by this 'childs' crew!

and shame on the asshole who called the cops

95. Little kid.. can't even cut the lawn.. do his job

without nosy ignorant people calling to cops. And, why the frick would you need to call 9/11 about that? Simply talk to the kid, Stupids.

But, the silver lining.. he got more Biz!

Thanks, working

[Joe Chi Minh]

97. You should have an offence like the one we have in the UK of

wasting police time. It's the tax-payers' money being wasted time and again, by malevolent, knuckle-headed racists.

101. But wait, there's more ...

From the linked article:

"In a video about the incident posted on Facebook, Holt said that his neighbors had frequently called the police to complain about children in the area — and she said they even called the police once because neighborhood children were having a snowball fight."

[workinclasszero]

102. Apparently that neighbor

just hates children.

Pretty amazing that people can call 911 on a good kid like Reggie who was just working his job and there’s no penalty for it.

[Guilded Lilly]

107. Yup, the news video is very much Pro Kids and...

more a case of anti-kid cranky-assed neighbor being an habitual jag off than a blatant act of racism.

The headline is baiting.

These kids are great.
The “neighbor” is a jerk.

[bdamomma]

106. I came to

the conclusion a long time ago that people are fucking cracking up in the US.

These people have some mental issues don't they? Do they feel that victimized by a 12 yr old kid??? WTF!

[bucolic_frolic]

109. Ironically

builders and developers can in some states create a right of way by trespassing and waiting to get sued. Sort of an implied contract kind of thing. Property without road access for example. Not that this kid was up to anything like that, he's just a kid making some money. Sad they called the cops on him.

[-_O_-]

111. Maple Heights property lines

The houses in Maple Heights have the property line directly/exactly on the east or north side of the house, leaving about a yard of grass for car exit for the adjacent property. While this strip is the neighbors property, it connects to your lawn. It's been an accepted practice that you will maintain this as part of your lawn for as long as I can remember, and no one has ever questioned it - it was just part of being neighborly.

[Tom Rinaldo]

113. "Just give me a call," he tells News 5 Cleveland. "I will be there. On time!"
