My neighbor called the police when my dog chased their cat...in my backyard. I got off with a warning.

Were they at least told to keep their cat inside? Or on their own property?!?

Ok so, sure, other parents seem to have escalated things in a dumb way, but... for the rest of his life, this kid can say "I was so good at soccer they called the police on me... when I was 3."

Laws vary from county to county, city to city, but in most places cats are free to roam, legally, and deliberately harming a cat for nothing more than trespass exposes you to animal cruelty charges punishable with fines and/or mandatory anger management and other counselling.

Obviously I don’t know the specifics of this situation, but if a cat jumps into a fenced yard with a dog and gets chased, that seems pretty unfair since the dog owner is being responsible. But maybe that wasn’t the case here.

Wow, those other parents are total pieces of shit.

Every case needs a proper, unbiased, investigation - and we won't be getting that here tonight.

My snowflake neighbor came crying to me about his chickens being murdered and how he saw my cat on his camera and if he ever saw my cat again he was going to shoot it - nevermind that cats don't murder full grown laying hens in their pen and the fact that we have raccoons, hawks, owls, and coyotes which DO murder full grown laying hens at any opportunity. I had to jump a hoop (get an ear clipped) to get my cat protected as "free to roam" in our county, which is a little weird, but now that he's protected legally as a "community cat" anyone who brags about shooting him is eligible for an open and shut animal cruelty case, $500 fine and court ordered anger management counselling. We passed this information to the snowflake through his landlord, and have not heard peep out of him since - 2 and a half years now.

12-15 years from now we may start to hear of an up and comer in the soccer leagues, and someone will rediscover his early roots.

just kidding. we'll have destroyed ourselves long before this delightful and skillful little boys dreams come true.

I am a responsible dog owner. The guy was just a jerk, and he still is.

Messi was like that when he was an adolescent. Theres video of him just tearing it up as the smallest kid in the game

The future looks bright for little Nevada

Cats are free to roam here. He wasn't a nice guy to begin with. He was renting and I own so...problem solved.

"Ball so hard motherfuckers wanna fine me"

I'm the one who called the cops. You guys don't understand just how good this toddler is, someone had to do something

That child is going places fr 💀

If my kid was playing with baby Messi? I would still want them to have a chance to play. This is fucking kids soccer - there’s no money on it. Good for the kid at being a god, but my kid can’t get good if she doesn’t have a chance to play.

Edit: calling the cops was wrong. I cannot believe anybody thought that was a good idea.

Don't you know about cops killing black people though. They could have showed up and thought that little 3 year old boy was going to kick a soccer ball at them.

I thought it was obvious, but /s for the aforementioned comment you're replying to.

Edit, I read half your reply when I replied. It seems I'm the one with egg on my face

I can't help but remember this sketch from Reno 911.

lol

Take your kid to a different league, what are the cops even doing here?

If you ever get another cat, name it Snowflake and make sure to tell your neighbor you named it after them 😁👍

Someone call the cops! This comment is too good.

Sure, but there's a difference between deliberately harming a cat and your dog chasing a cat.

Is that from a later season or revival of some sort? That actor looks much older and has a mohawk.

Too much melanin

Agreed, idiots abound.

Or an acorn could have fallen on a car, causing them to shoot the place up.

They had him banned from the league over this.

???

Too good at soccer? Believe it or not, straight to jail

we all know that playing against people of the same level makes you better...... You are just teaching your kid to find the shallowest pool to play in. How dare they be exposed to the idea that someone is better and maybe this is just all for learning.

They are, but it’s not just them

The whole system complied. On a kid younger than them

I can’t say I’m surprised either

So you’re fine with this? Just to clarify?

They revived the series during COVID after an 11 year haitus.

Not about your specific situation, but Cats can definitely kill hens. I used to live on a small farm and we had issues with some wild cats.

Lots of other issues with other predators, but it’s entirely possible, especially at night.

If this were France or Spain though? The kid would be getting an all-expenses-paid scholarship on the PSG or Barça

Something that can be remedied without involving armed law enforcement. Maybe the coach could do their job and make sure all the kids get at least some chance to play?

Bro was out there breaking ankles!

Listening to the parent talking in the video it sounds like there was past history between the kid's parents and the other parents and that there was at least an altercation between them after someone said something the kid's parent didn't like. This seems to be the real reason behind the cops being called and the parents kicked out. But of course, the parent who released the video edited all those parts out to make it sound they're kicking the kid out for being too good. Feel bad for the kid though. That wasn't his fault.

And in the United States it costs ridiculous amounts of parents money to join the most competitive leagues. It's no wonder we're not competitive on the world stage, only rich kids can compete.

AOL Keyword: Uppity.

Look into it.

He was renting and I own

what does this have to do with anything?

tenants have just as much rights in their homes as anyone else

Even paw patrol shouldn't bother for petty bench fights. But since black folks were involved, officers smelled blood.

He was already playing with kids roughly 2 years older than him according to the article

If there are more leagues that are older still literally just out him with even older kids. Calling the cops is batshit

There’s a lot of over correction in this thread.

Police breaking up a recurring altercation is 100% part of what they are there for. A party being black is just unfortunate for optics.

It would be hilarious if he grows up and completely stops playing or just is shit at it.

You're right, what does your comment have to do with anything? Tenants can be just as big of idiots as homeowners.

Unbelievable.

By which I mean, I literally don't believe this story as presented. There's definitely some details missing.

No. Full stop. That was potentially deadly and scary and stupid and an unbelievable overreaction. I am fully against what they did. I can’t believe these dipshit parents couldn’t talk to the coach or that kid’s parents fucking mystifies me.

Yes, this. Fucking idiots bringing cops into it boggles the mind.
