Oct. 27, 2020, Rickia Young was driving home with her 2-year-old son and teenage nephew when she found herself coming up on a large crowd protesting the fatal police shooting of Walter Wallace Jr. hours earlier. When Rickia Young attempted to make a U-Turn to go away from the protest several police officers in riot gear surrounded her car then proceeded to smash the windows out of her car dragged her out of her car then proceeded to beat her before handcuffing her and separating her from her son and nephew. Rickia Young was left bloodied and bruised from the beating that was caught on a video that went viral, but to add insult to her injuries, the police had the never to post her sons picture on their Facebook claiming he was lost during the riots.
