The [Potomac star](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2020/06/09/stassi-schroeder-kristen-doute-faith-stowers-apology-candiace-dillard-vs-stassi/) posted a heartbreaking video on her Instagram page showcasing what it's like for children to grow up in a time like this. In the video, [the Bravo star](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2020/06/09/stassi-schroeder-kristen-doute-faith-stowers-apology-candiace-dillard-vs-stassi/) showed her son Christopher explaining why he was wearing a cardboard bulletproof vest: *"This is my bulletproof vest that I made"* her son stated.* "I made it because on the news when the people killed the guy when they put his leg up to his head." *Her son continued stating that his vest read* "POLICE"* because he was dressing up as a *"good"* officer as opposed to the police that were involved in the death of George Floyd: *"They just killed him for nothing. We don't know why they killed him, either." *Monique then asked, *"How does that make you feel?" *"*That makes me feel sad,"* Christopher said. *"They just killed an innocent person."* Take a look at the heartbreaking video below: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CBYUkNLAI-T/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Monique captioned the photo stating: *"I wish I would have documented the entire process of my 7-year-old from the moment he started making his bulletproof vest. I didn't even realize he was paying attention to the news. Instead of discouraging him from creating this 'work of art,' I decided to have a talk with him and try [to] turn a negative into a positive. His final touch was to add 'Police' to the front of it so he can show the bad cops how to be good."* This is so beyond heartbreaking as children often notice much more than we realize. I give Monique props for having an open conversation on her son's feelings and having an open dialogue. ## Thoughts on the video? *Follow AllAboutTRH On Instagram** [Here](https://www.instagram.com/rox.jajo)*** *Follow Us On Twitter [Here](https://www.twitter.com/allabouttrh)And Like Us On Facebook **[Here](https://www.facebook.com/allabouttrh)***
