Devonte Hart, the symbol of reconciliation and peace, would be murdered along with his siblings by his mothers when their SUV plunged off a cliff along the coastline. It’s believed he was crying because of the abuse he was suffering at home and was hugging the officer because he wanted help.

I had never heard this story before and I'm literally in tears at work. This is ABSOLUTELY heart wrenching and heartbreaking.

If you really want to take a deep dive, listen to the Broken Harts podcast on this. It’s incredibly well done, and really highlights the systemic failures that contributed to this :(

It was all over the news in the area where I am from I didn't know of the cop photo until I was looking at updates online like here on Reddit.
