Cameron's mother said that when she first saw the video, she brushed it off because of her experiences growing up in Richmond. Curry told NBC News on Tuesday that she believes the officer should be reprimanded and investigated and that a conversation needs to take place between law enforcement, state officials and parents to reach a solution."I don't feel he needs to lose his job," Curry said Tuesday."He just shouldn't be patrolling the streets."
