Video out of Arkansas shows a 16-year-old black teenager sucker punch a 12-year-old white boy with brass knuckles from behind.

Not content with knocking the boy to the ground, the teen punches the boy again several times in his face while the boy is seen putting his hands up over his face to try and block the blows.

The 16-year-old was identified as Kane Millsaps, he reportedly uploaded the video of his assault himself to YouTube before it was taken down for violating their "harmful or dangerous content" policy.

A mirror was uploaded to LiveLeak:

Millsaps was arrested for felony battery and the state is aiming to try him as an adult.

Via ArkansasMatters:

"It's serious," [20th Judicial District Prosecutor Cody Hiland] said. "We feel like it's something that needs to be pursued as an adult. It's an adult act."

In an arrest affidavit, police say the victim -- who is just 12 years old -- suffered a "bruised right eye, cut on his neck and broken teeth."

The victim told police he "did not know the person that hit him."

While prosecutors describe the victim's injuries as "serious," he is expected to recover.

"I'm sorry to that family," said the suspect's mother Amy Millsaps. "I don't know why he did it."

[...]Investigators believe Millsaps himself posted the video online. He told police he punched the victim because he was "running his mouth."

Millsaps' mother said he deals with mental issues and previously spent a year and a half at the juvenile detention center for fighting.

With the new adult charges, Millsaps faces up to 20 years in prison.

If the races were reversed in this case, the story would be international news and the video would be playing on every major news station 24/7.

Instead, it will be completely ignored.
