ROCHESTER, NY- Newly released body cam footage shows police officers pepper-spraying a 9-year-old girl.
Police were responding to a call about a domestic dispute on Friday when they found the 9-year-old girl outside in the snow, during an argument with her mother.
According to a report obtained by the Democrat & Chronicle, the girl “indicated she wanted to kill herself and she wanted to kill her mom.”
In the video, you can see police trying to get the young girl inside of a police car, while she’s in handcuffs and hysterical because she can’t speak to her father.
Police told her that they would contact her father if she just listened to them.
A police officer can be heard saying “Just spray her at this point,” and is seen pepper-spraying the girl. The girl can heard asking the officers to wipe her eyes.
Watch the video below:
Police Chief Cynthia Herriott-Sullivan said on Sunday “I’m not going to stand here and tell you that for a 9-year-old to have to be pepper-sprayed is OK.”
