- On January 29th, Rochester, N.Y., police responded to a reported domestic disturbance on the city's north side. Thirty minutes later, a 9-year-old girl was handcuffed, forced into a squad car and pepper-sprayed. Police body camera footage of the encounter sparked outrage and fresh scrutiny of how police treat people in distress.
We assembled three experts on policing, race and mental health to examine the Rochester police footage. They breakdown what went wrong and how it might have been handled differently.

i’ve accidentally pepper sprayed myself as a kid and ik it hurts like hell. and the fact that they sprayed her and just left her in the car is horrendous. how do you have a call with a 9 year old and act like this? “you’re acting like a child” she literally IS. if they can treat a child like this, i don’t want to see them interact with an adult in a stop. they should all be fired
Because she’s black and they don’t think black kids are kids.
And also the fact that she was already in cuffs...there was no need to pepper spray her, she was already restrained...
I concur!
And charged with child abuse.
Charged with Assault and Child Abuse!
Imagine telling a 3rd grader you're acting like a child.
Heart breaks hearing that baby crying for her daddy while she's being traumatized.
Every adult in this video let her down in every possible way.
This poor girl will for scared of the Police I hope her Parent Sue
Racist white people NEVER see our children as CHILDREN!
Yeah, including her mother who was more bothered about getting her home than the way the cops were treating her.
@@tamaramadison7563 I hope her father sues the police and gets custody of his daughter. Her mother was there all the time that was going on, why didn't she call the child's father, that is all she wanted.
@@tamaramadison7563 As she needs to be, unfortunately 😥
And the mother was just as aggressive towards this child. No one bothered to ask her what happened; they just attacked. So sad .
@One 4 Truth when she was talkin aggressively towards her she was letting the police know that this is my daughter and I have custody of her and for her to go in the house but the police wasn't going for it Sad but True
YOU DON'T CALL THE COPS AND HAVE THEM COME to then ask "what happened? THE COP IS SENT AND INFORMED THEN HE PROCEEDS TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. DON'T JUDGE THE ACTIONS . YOU WERE NOT THERE BEFORE OR AFTER. THE CHILD HAD TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS OR ELSE BE FORCEFULLY TAKEN INTO THE CAR.
The mom was approving whatever the police was doing all along.
They all talk racism in this video but what about the mom??
@@lulazeta8965 Wtf is wrong with you,she was "9". You cant have children of your own...
I work with children everyday,I do this for a living .Trust me it was a better way to handle that situation
You have a bless day.🤔
Yep, explains perfectly why the girl was begging for her DAD and not the mom. She knew the mom was just as much the problem as the police.
Instead of helping her they abused her too,bless your heart babygirl
Right and like the one guy said they didn't want to be there and in so many words it like you really called us out here for this bullshit and then we are going to have to write a report on this Wtf
@@Rise-UP1969 Would you want your nine year old treated this way?It's clear this child was going through hell at home already,then people who are suppose to serve and protect treat her as a criminal instead of a probly abused and scared baby.Its just sad
COPS ARE NOT COUNSELORS, NOR PSYCHIATRISTS OR PRIESTS. COPS DID NOT ABUSE ANYBODY. THERE IS NO "BABY" GIRL IN THIS SITUATION. THIS IS A CHILD 'OUT OF CONTROL"
@@orphastewart9295 I CAN NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. YES, IF MY 9 YEAR OLD ACTED UP LIKE THAT, YES SHE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN BY THE COPS BECAUSE IF SHE IS DIFIANT TO THE MOM, SHE WOULD NEED TO GET A GOOD SPAINKING and then If that doesn't work and the child keeps it up, COPS WILL TAKE HER where she can get PROFESSIONAL HELP even in jail they have COUNSELORS.
@@lulazeta8965 she needs to be taken because you're a bad dad or mom that likes to abuse and yell at your kid?
the kid wouldn't even want to trust and call police for help after this
I learned that when I was 14 they have been scary for a long time
Yeah would not even trust adults or peers after this.
@RUclips breaks The 1st amendment Like a human child being ganged up on?
I never will call the cops. They don't help at all they only can make things worse.
@@theFLCLguy I'm not saying your wrong (completely) but I suggest you watch Audit the Audit channel. He has a bunch of videos telling about law's, what happens in several different court's, amandenments, and which party (cop('s) vs citizen ('s)) is in the right and which one is in the wrong. There are good cop's out there. But they're buried under so many bad cop's are they're somewhere else when they are needed somewhere else.
Pepper spraying a nine year old girl in cuffs!
The cop must have been in total, total fear for his life.
She was in cuffs, resisting!
She was a flight risk!
She was a repeat offender!
This real man was showing his friends how brave he could manhandle a nine year old little girl.
Definitely needs backup.
Dam ur right I forgot about her being handcuffed. That's definitely 💯 grounds for termination please ZZZ people we need to make sure this police dept, those officers don't get away with abuse and violation of her civil rights. Wow this is such an easy case to prosecute, so y are those officers on a paid leave of absence- a VACATION, ON TAXPAYERS DIME IS REASON Y DEFUND THE POLICE AND GETTING RID OF QUALIFIED IMMUNITY. SO I WONDER WHAT FEAR THEY HAD IN THIS CASE A HANCUFFED 9YR. OLD
Where Are the other 900 officers?? The Army should have Been there with tanks!
She was warned
@@tomstoots5491
and that s0meh0w justifies an assauIt fr0m an armed p0Iice 0fficer ?
did y0u pepper spray y0ur kids f0r dis0bediance ?
did they ever deserve being pepper sprayed ?
were y0u ever handcuffed and pepper sprayed by y0u parents ?
were y0u ever warned ?
@@ob2249 no I have not had to do that with my kids because we taught them respect. Kids are so disrespectful anymore.. they don't think of others it's all about them and I think the world revolves around them if you find any children that are not like that that's an exception not the norm. Kids live what they learn..it's the parents fault
The supposed "grown ups" in this situation did nothing to ease her fear, they went out of their way to make it worse.
And then there are still people in the comments blaming the child for her having so much fear. Smh.
"You're acting like a child." Wtf? Words escape me...
They should've given the girl a few minutes to calm down.Anyone who deals with kids that age knows that such an outburst burns itself out really fast.
They are trained to escalate everything.. make a case make up charges because its an extra income for the INCORPORATED communities all over America.
@@giosuegenovese313 Yep - you never see cops de-escalating. They're hammers and everyone else is a nail.
Well, apparently that girl was on something. Her little temper tantrum didn’t seem to burn out, it looked like the fire was only getting bigger than it needed to be.
It wont change, cops know they will usually get away with pepper spaying a 9 year old or breaking the shoulder of a elderly lady with dementia. And what's more , some people actually defend their actions, that's part of the reason it will never end.
Why is it in America someone can walk into a gun store and walk out with an AR15 and go on a killing spree on children , and yet not one person will lift a finger against these tyrant pigs, no wonder this shit will never end . ONLY IN AMERICA .
Welcome to the United States of America 🇺🇸 and to to the republic for which it stands, one nation, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, with LIBERTY and JUSTICE FOR ALL. Ladies and gentlemen do you see the irony behind this pledge? The same pledge that has been indoctrinated across the nation in schools to promote so called “freedom”
They literally had one cop there for each year she's been alive. This is made my heart hurt💔
Why did they need 9 cops on her?
That’s actually kinda very sad
Very weak police force
@@reesedub9 that’s just dum how will they even deal with a teen how much officers do they need? Like 20? A kid isn’t really that strong compared to a normal police force
Or one cop for each minute George Floyd had a full bodied knee on his neck...
Instead of being in jail for serious assault, they are ‘suspended with pay’. This is what there is.
That little girl was throwing a hell of a fit, she was out of control absolutely. However, by the way she was yelling for her dad it sounded like maybe there was a divorce situation and the 9 year old was emotionally broken by it. Then to pepper spray and just leave her in the cop car, handcuffed in 17degree weather for not a short period of time…that feels like torture to me…those cops took an already broken and bleeding child and broke what little she may have had left. It’s horrible.
Mother stabbed the father, they’re here for a suicidal child when an ambulance was called and not them
Speechless
@@Sarawarawara- Where'd you get that info?
@Sara The Soul Of Omniscience & Cringe What website did you get that from?
Literally sick to my stomach watching what these fucking animals did to that girl. As a father watching this I'm absolutely heartbroken. I can only imagine the pain and rage her father must have felt after watching the evidence of what they did to his daughter. Then to find out that these police were only suspended WITH PAY... like are you fucking serious?! Every officer there should be behind bars, the ones that participated and the ones that stayed silent are all equally as guilty of aggravated assault on a minor at the very LEAST. Whoever made the decision to pay them while they're suspended needs to be removed from their position as well. After seeing the officer body cam footage there is absolutely zero doubt for any rational person that what happened to that child was nothing short of vile, abusive and predatory. I hope every officer involved rots in a cell till the day they die.
This is an example of why the police are no longer fit for purpose,if they ever were. 9 officers for one 9 year old girl ? The female showed just how callous and unempathic she was, within a few minutes. It saddens me to think that these officers think they are better than animals, they are not. Far from it, they are worse because they are paid to serve and protect, not attack and destroy. This is how the end of a civilised and caring society begins. When all that matters is control. We are here !
I could NEVER be a police officer. My fishing buddy retired from the force, and he said about 40% of officers have no business being in law enforcement. Also, most problems can be avoided by just obeying simple commands. The United States is full of idiots. I believe we are seeing the results of a generation of people that were never told "NO" when they were growing up.
I’m shocked they used pepper spray on a 9-year old. And I’m a goddamn student at a high school.
@Frances And takes the mother too for not teaching her child.
@frances345 , you mean satan , coming to take them to Hell , where those scumbag 🐷 belong .
I have a 9 year old daughter and hearing her scream that she wants her dad just breaks my heart. These cold officers.. cruel.
Caught in their own confusion
Is your 9-year-old going to fight with the police and throw temper tantrum too? Or has she been raised to act as a reasonable person and comply with law enforcement until you arrive? I'm just wondering how much of an animal your child is like the one in the video
Would your daughter act like this?
@@nicholasmedovich8691 Nah. They just don't care. You can hear it in their voice. This just a burden to them.
If ever there was a lack of empathy, it is shown here with clarity. They clearly showed they did not care a jot about this little girl. They were devoid of humanity. She is a child & they hurt her unnecessarily. There is no room for these miscreants in law enforcement …
As a Father these officers have far far more to worry about than lawsuits or reprimands.......
When I heard that girl say I want my dad, I just started crying. Of course the female cop had to show all the male cops that she was harder than them.
Just one giant Quagmire of a fuckup
Female cops are far worse. They always try to display toughness they don't have.
You didn't cry stop the cap
@@jovonlee122 how do you know? Do you have proof? No?
@@claudzy Nobody cries over these videos. They post this crap for attention.
Anyone who thinks there is ever any justification for handcuffing a 9 year old has no soul. Anyone who thinks of pepper-spraying a handcuffed 9 year old is a lost cause. They should quit while there is still a hope of regaining some kind of humanity.
This is making my blood boil so much I can't watch anymore of these videos and stay sane. That poor little girl didn't deserve this trauma.
yup these cops have a short fuse. they should be fired
Something isn't right
@@thomasdelange1888 the fault is on the parents. Children act how they are raised. She has been trough some sh!t to act the way you say she acted.
@@thomasdelange1888 assault from a kid in just a tantrum, you think an unarmed kid could really hurt a adult? Just had to get that out of the way. And I do agree over the lack of discipline don't get me wrong. Only my main point is the kid is innocent, but because of influence or the lack of will indeed lead them to grow up to be a couple of sh!tbags. That aside, would you at 9 would have wanted to be pepper sprayed because you trew a tantrum at the police? A slap would have been sufficient. But that is only my opinion.
@@thomasdelange1888 and are you by any chance dutch?
"Stop acting like a child"
"I am a child, the f***?"
This 9 year old girl had more sense than the 20+ year old cops, during possibly the most traumatic moment of her life.
I wouldn't blame her if she never trusted police again for the rest of her life even. This is ridiculous.
I've been pepper sprayed. And it hurts SO DAMN BAD.
Me too. Fuckin’ hell. I feel ya man, it got in my nose too. I felt myself knocking on death’s door…
I caught just bit pepper spray twice, not even directly and that mess effed me up big time. (Allergies don't help). I can only imagine a direct hit.
From the get-go this guy escalated the situation, and once he heard how the mom spoke to this poor girl he should've separated them and allowed them both to calm down. This ham-fisted, violent approach they always seem to take never helps anything.
"I don't care" Summarizes most of RPD from the top down. It is about them, not the community.
If they did this to a child of mine, I would break the officer's jaw.
Telling a 9 year old you are acting like a child!? Top tier stupidity.
Black kids are adults in the eyes of these monstrous racists
It's good to hear people talk about like this situation knowing how it could have gone better. I don't experience that very often.
Don't only blame the police, also blame the officials who shield these police criminals. Make sure you have them dismissed or sued.
How about some blame on the mother? She has no business having any children.
"Dismissed or sued" Are you stupid? These animals need to be in prison
@@NJgatewaydo you have children? Even the best parents can have a difficult child or one who is experiencing anxiety, as this one seemed to have.
@@richardellis8076 No, I don't have any children.
@@richardellis8076 you also don't have a children
This has got to be one of the sickest things I’ve seen. Seriously telling a nine year old that she is acting like a child. Wth? There were so many different ways to handle this little girl. These so called cops paid to serve and protect decide to pepper spray her, then leave her in the car alone. I’ve accidentally got sprayed myself as an adult. Let me tell you it hurt, I coughed, it kind of took my breath away. They decided to leave her alone suffering in the car. When does it stop? This is heartbreaking 💔
I can not believe what I just watch😢. I’m sitting here with tear’s streaming down my face, WTF are they doing. My god she is a nine 9 year old girl😮.
that is just torture. what purpose were they trying to serve?
Torture?
they just wanted to go back to the squad car and sip on some coffee smh damn pigs
I think she had attacked her mother before the cops were called there.
@@ryanhobbs79 she's handcuffed. Why pepper spray her AFTER SHE IS HANDCUFFED???
@@beefortebrea9386 I agree. The officers got her handcuffed and in the back of the car without the peppers spray despite the struggle. There could have been a way to put a seatbelt on the girl without it. Unfortunately, the officers used up all their patience just getting the girl in the car. When she wouldn't sit up to buckle in the female officer sprayed her. Perhaps if the officers had shut the car door and gathered themselves for a moment they could have reclaimed some patience, and attempted to place the girl in an upright position, buckle her in, and pepperspray would have never been deployed.
Words "I want my dad" broke my heart - made me literally cry,, and I am fifty years old men.
Their response is to steam roll her with force. Pathetic.
That's how they're trained, to crush any noncompliance with overwhelming force/shock and awe. That needs to change.
Pepper spray is how they avoided using force.
@@st0n3p0ny Um...pepper spray IS using force.
@@Ihdc1 So is screeching and fighting a bunch of cops. Pepper spray is the safest option. The fact that you're unable to comprehend why laws apply to someone like this, is neither here nor there. Pepper spray is non toxic and safer than a physical wrestling match and safer than allowing her to freak out slamming herself around inside the back of the car.
@@st0n3p0ny No it's not safer. Empty hands is the lowest level of force for a reason. Pulling out the pepper spray was escalation up the continuum. Also, you act like there was no way to de-escalate the situation without force when there clearly was. This is a 9 year old child whom they were treating like an adult criminal. How do you think parents deal with their own misbehaving kids without macing them? Mental health workers don't mace their patients either.
Nine cops for a nine year old unarmed girl. Things must have been slow in Rochester that day.
Using any chemical defense weapon on a child is actually child abuse even if it's actually a taser as well. The police department should actually go after these people who have the gall to call themselves a police officer. They should actually be arrested, fined, hard labor, community service, driver's license revoked permanently, and never be returned to police duty or else life behind bars without any parole.
Their punishment was actually paid leave.
@@Some_Guy6 white privilege..Welcome in America!
Why the hell did they think it is needed to put such force and agressive behavour on a young child?
The mother seems to be the villain in this. What is the mother doing to cause the girl to be so desperate to see her dad. The officers shouldn't have pepper sprayed the girl. But the mom isn't supportive of her daughter. I would dig further into that aspect as well.
Gotta be kidding
Agreed.
yup, it's so natural for a child to say "i want my mummy" when anything bad happens, and then her mums on the scene and the girl screams for her dad only....hmmm makes me wonder.
Nine yrs old treated as a criminal for being outside the house and yelled at by her mother. These are the days cops live for. I hope Rochester pays BIG
What a disgusting display of child abuse. They were all to happy to treat this little girl like she was trash. I didn't see any good cops in this video. They pepper sprayed her?!? What a group of incompetent rascist scumbags. I bet all these uniformed criminals actually believe they did the right thing. They "Served and Protected" that little girl by spraying chemicals in her eyeballs.
Not one damn cop on the scene had an ounce of compassion or a brain cell to think that handcuffung and threatening her was wrong. Where's the duty to safeguard a person in your custody. A little girl...that you put in handcuffs...then in the cruiser...then pepper sprayed in the back seat of the cruiser. Then they wonder why nobody respects them anymore? Stop hurting little girls you pathetic excuses for humanity.
Glad they have a former police officer even explaining how wrong this is. You know there are some guys who would always defend the police in these situations.
It feel so bad for that girl! I'm seriously in tears. It brought me the thought of my 8 year old brother who has autism and ODD, and if this were to happen to him. This girl obviously needed help and the cops did nothing but hurt her! I imagine my brother in this situation and him not understanding due to mental disorders, who knows what that girl was going through!
OMG 😶!! That's sickening. Really, all those adults surrounding a 9year old CHILD. How do they sleep at night knowing they traumatized a child. Listening to the way her mother was speaking to her I'm sure she has enough trauma to deal with at home. God bless the child 🙏
Demon vessels - filled to the brim.
“I don’t care” that’s the problem! It’s your job to CARE for your citizens!!!
You’d think so, but it’s really not. It’s to protect capital and the rich upper class who influence the laws. It’s their job to fill up prisons. It’s their job to bust unions. It’s their job to keep the poor on the streets, or in a cage.
Dirty men who think they're all that and need to bully girls
This moment will forever change her.
All she needed was burger king and a talk. And a social services call for someone to help her and her mother get along. There needs to be a social work crisis unit they can refer her to, maybe as part of the 911 scenario. I see cops don't have time so they jump to control. This is where they can work with social workers. I can see a crisis social worker taking her out to get a meal and talk it through and getting some follow up set up for the family.
Domestic disputes like this are the number one most deadly call that officers respond to, by far. And you want to send a social worker with a clip board to be murdered. A social worker to stand there and watch them fight and scream and pick fights in the street with random passing cars, while timidly blabbering stupid nonsense about Burger King with nobody listening.
@@st0n3p0ny I get what you're saying but in this case it didn't seem to go so well did it? She was a child. I'm betting she needed some help and not to be pepper sprayed and traumatized. These are the exact cases in which social services can help. If it's an adult man with a gun forget it you need the cops, but with this kid she probably would have liked to talk. As a single mom I've been there. Please send in the social worker. I've also worked in social services so I've seen that side of it too.
@@ber9313 Why did it not go so well? If you're so uncaring for your child that you're reduced to getting in to fights in the street so bad that people have to call the cops, something has to change. Her "parents" are never going to care enough to teach her. She has to learn somehow. And cheeseburgers aren't the solution. That pepper spray may have saved her life by waking her up. A cheesburger to thank her and reward her for her behavior wouldn't be productive.
Unfortunately, again, you're probably going to get your way on this one. The state will conclude that it's not fair to expect a black person to be civilized, and they'll get a big fat settlement check from the tax payers. Encouraging them all to continue being violent criminals. That girl has no chance. No matter how many cheeseburgers you offer while she's screaming and fighting in the street and ignoring you.
@@st0n3p0ny she’s having sucidal thoughts there’s a good chance she’s going through a mental chrises your delusional if you really think pepper spray and a bunch of officers are just gonna get rid of her thoughts all they did was make the situation worse you seem like your forgetting she’s a child she won’t see it as a wake up call of anything she will resent the officers. Also you seem pretty racist so that makes your opinion 1 sided you clearly can’t why people are upset you should talk to somebody. Also if that was your child you would have a completely different perspective on the entire situation talk to someone and good luck in life because people will hurt you if you talk the way you do online have a nice day🙏
@@st0n3p0ny 9 Years OLD!!! give me a break. Maybe her mom is the problem (where did she learn to act like she was) (by the way her mom acted worse then this girl. It was obvious she was upset and then she has cops yell at her too!!!! so so wrong! and No one deescalated. This was so wrong to treat her like a criminal. (from the get go) Looks like "your attitude" is just what sent this situation spiral out of control!! and to pepper spray her!! You got to be a sick people to do that to a child.
All these officers should be fired and charged with child abuse!!!
After watching so many of these videos I am always so surprised when cops don’t understand why they are hated instead of revered in communities.. sickening and I have yet to hear any charges being laid on any one of those officers for assaulting a baby.. they told her to stop acting like a child meanwhile every single one of them behaved childish..
They didn't break any laws, what are they going to be charged with....?
I find this very disturbing and this doesn’t give the officers the right to be doing this. This makes me angry in the inside and pepper spraying a child like cops are racist to us.
Black Lives Matter!
Nice to see, some representing my state, and city; I was born, and raised in; Eugene; Oregon explaining mental health and what proper process needs to be done, and what police should of done to make the process peacefully and not traumatizing for the nine year old. Thanks for representing what our police force does here in Eugene, Oregon, as a black person in a state where there is maybe 1 percent of black people; I have had any disrespect from the police, in Eugene, or Springfield; Oregon. I hope this girl was taken away from her mom, and given to her dad, her mom helped make the situation worse.
It was all her *MOTHER'S* fault! *She* started attacking her own child with foul language and spanking. Man, that's unbelievable.
"Cmon, don't make me pepper spray your eyeball 😊" a child should not have to go through that.
@RUclips breaks The 1st amendment she was already in the car and handcuffed. Second of all, macing a child is not the way to do shit.
She wasn't even arrested. Shouldn't even been forced to go in the car at all
1st thing is if they couldn’t even resist the kid how are they going to restrain a adult criminal
This was one of the hardest videos to watch , 9 years old and pepper sprayed for behaving like a CHILD THAT SHE IS!!! No blue eyed, blonde hair girl is getting pepper sprayed like that man.....praying for that girl and her family two years later that they got some kind of compensation for her trauma... heartbreaking
They could have called the girl’s dad to deescalate the situation. That would have helped.. Lord help us all..
The mother stabbed the father.
Let's talk about the girl's mother. The mother defends her daughter? Does the mother try to protect her daughter from mistreatment? At some point the mother worries about her daughter?
The mother just appears in the video to threaten her daughter and that's it. Imagine what this girl's life must be like when there are no cameras around.
It's worse than racism to see family violence being called a "family in crisis."
Makes you wonder why she was screaming for her dad, who wasn't there. Instead of her mom.
This is really sad. Im crying right now... cops need new training, PERIOD!!!! The fact that she wants her dad.
They did exactly what they are trained to do! It wasn't about the girl; it was about the inconvenience. My heart bleeds for this baby. I have five daughters of my own and it brought tears to my eyes to see this.
No amount of training is going to fix those stone cold stupid officers. They should be fired and then charged with causing bodily harm and other serious charges.
What courageous officers in the face of imminent danger from a 9-year-old. Oh, wait. Never mind. My bad.
Each one of those cops need to be . Pepper sprayed fired and then jailed. I hope the family sues for tens of millions .
If they do this to a 9 years child in the Netherlands the police have a very big problem.
Wow...take every officer and every trainer and every decision-maker about policies and procedures...and put them in a situation where they SEE and FEEL their own children being treated that way... GOOD GRIEF!
Yare Yare Daze XD
Why do the cops who traumatized this young girl have to be payed. While they're on suspension.
🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬
How the fuck can you pepper spray a handcuffed child
its sickening how cops in the usa feel the need to always cuff anyone anywhere anytime when theres no reason and no substantial backing from the law behind it in 90% of the cases of people getting cuffed. this is only done in the usa.
If that was my daughter I would have been in jail for life !
The female parent of the 9-year-old girl in this video decided to file a laws lawsuit against the tyrants for treating her daughter with such disrespect. In fact, the tyrants in this same video are now rotting behind bars for discrimination against law-abiding citizens; aggravated assault on a minor; aggravated kidnapping of a minor; violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Righst; violation of police department policies, practices, and procedures; violation of city, state and federal laws; and violation of the Constution of the United States of America.
"I don't card what you demand". "I don't care about you're rights". "I don't card about you". Those are things that should be on the sides of police cars, on police badges, on police stations. And on court buildings. Paper spraying a nine year old is outrageous and criminal.
I saw another comment on a different video, someone said “you forfeit your life when you choose not to comply” so… “comply or die” yeah that might work on the side of the cruisers. Short and to the point.
Also find it ironic, that if this little girl was acting like this, and her own father whooped her butt, (never mind pepper spray) he would be locked up for child abuse, but if police harm your child, they get paid time off.
Every officer involved in this incident should be facing prison time. They violated her constitutional rights many times over. They all should have been terminated, permanently lose their certifications, be placed on the Brady List and be permanently banned from law enforcement.
That kinda stuff at age 9 will wreck you in ways you can't even believe. My principle in elementary school would lock me in a closet everyday and him and the teachers would laugh and laugh while I cried... the closet I was locked in was inside the teachers lounge. People wondered why I hated authority for the longest time.
yep and I bet because of this she's going to grow up an angry, resentful woman that hates the 50...
You will not see your dad you get pepperspray.Welcome to America!!
I'm a first aider, I came on a scene where a man was shouting and swearing as he walked, I introduced myself and asked him what was wrong, he calmed down and told me he'd been hit by a car, he went from possibly insane to a victim and accepted my help. Here, no one introduced themselves, no one asked her what's wrong, they stopped her, cuffed her, threw her into a car and pepper sprayed her. Having pepper sprayed her they had to call an ambulance, what an insane waste of resources.
Why criminalise a child for having a tantrum, why turn a suspect into a casualty? If they'd just sent one ambulance in the first place she could have sat with the paramedics, calmed down and chatted with them, problem solved.
You take on this situation is appreciated but in reality you're missing the point of why this child was treated like this. Simple fact...she's Black and white cops ALWAYS treat Black kids as adult criminals. There are countless number of videos that show this and the instant hatred of cops who deal with Black people.
"pepper spray your eyeballs"
Straight criminals
Everything that is wrong with policing summed up in a 7-minute video.
Exactly! power trip
And they don't understand why the public don't like or trust them.
What is overlooked in this commentary is that many cops enjoy this kind of thing because they are sociopaths. No one needs training to understand that what a traumatized child needs is comfort in a situation like this. Any fool knows that. No. This is purposeful and wilful abuse for no other reason than to satisfy a deep seated pathology in these cops. Also, one of the commentators saying "none of them want to be there" is flatly not accurate. Many cops love these situations precisely because they offer them the chance to avoid real police work.
9 cops for an unarmed 9yo girl smh this is America.
Thats a dumb thing to say, this was Rochester, not all of America, Rochester and places like it are bad, not America
With the abundance of these types of videos it seems that it’s widespread and not just a few bad apples
How the hell can this go on in any part of the world. How can not 1 but several adults not see that child is in crisis and had a abusive upbringing. How can that many adults with training do something so WRONG to a 9 yr old little girl. All the cops there need to have child abuse charges against them and sent to jail. Not just loose there job. But none of that will even happen they will just say they seen no WRONG doing by there pigs and they sent them to a few hours training
1 officer for each year she is old ... how would they treat a 99 year old - sending a batallion ?? you are absolutely crazy over there !!
I usually side with the cops in these videos because a lot of the time if the suspect cooperated everyone would go on their way,but this is ridiculous, I hope the cops at least lost their jobs and were arrested for assault.
They didn't lose their jobs
You must have watched a lot of different videos from me; most cops escalate from the word go, as they immediately think their authority is being challenged "Listen to Me, listen to me" they chant, and then continually interrupt if their victim tries to reason with them, or explain the law to them.
What a lack of respect, a police officer doing what he did to a 9 year old child and still saying "I don't care what you demand. Let's go", an officer like that should receive a punishment that feels on the skin what it is to suffer for a child who is being arrested and still get "Pepper Spray" in the eyes.
Some people shouldn't be parents and some people shouldn't be cops..
Cops have been made into soldiers due to over policing. The cops in my town use swarm tactics. No matter what if they talk to someone back up is on its way and if it's even slightly interesting several other cop cars will show up. I've seen 5 cops show up because I had a person steal from my job. No big situation, a single officer could have handled it but interested the bust in like it's a raid into a 7 eleven.
But that didn't stop then from killing someone who did doughnuts beat the police station.
We got so many cops that most the time they hangout in parking lots for hours talking to each other. I've seen it so many times, I once had three cops hangout for 4hours in the parking lot of my former job. They came for food and drinks.
@@tiffanyfrank3654 you must not live in America.
@@tiffanyfrank3654 you must not live in an overpoliced area.
@@xnopyt22 There is no over policed. There is horrible policing.
I think its just these officers dont care about thier job rather than racism.
Wow, so police are suicide to be mental health counselors now? The mom called the cops. What did she expect? The mom said she expected the police to treat her daughter gently. But she’s out there on the street cussing at her daughter.
“I am a child”. Full stop. 😢. I couldn’t see through my tears.
Bruh those cops should go to jail for life
A 9 years old is not an adult.
Suspended with pay... in other words they're on vacation.
If I was the father I would have gone to jail for vengeance.
This is what we vote for, funding our own oppression.
Oppression? You should travel more. Gain perspective.
So that you can see this is the US north south east and west
Oppresion. In Canada. Gurl. Go and travel the world. You will learn what oppresion stabds for.
@@elokubano Do you not know Canadian history or what?
@@twonumber22 omg,. go away you lapping wanna be hero. Acting like you are some great adavocate for freedom by calling everything oppresivew. What a hero....LOL@u
I hope they were fired! They should have no other option to apply to this job!
Evil wicked people. Sure everyone of us will pay for the evil that we have done to others. Some is when we get older people don't care about us
They would have never did this to a nine year old white girl. But as a father coming on the seen my reaction would cost me my life or theirs
I was so glad they acknowledge they are bad cops but badly trained for the job they actually have
Nothing to do with training and EVERYTHING to do with racism and lack of compassion.
I was not aware that they acknowledged anything.
They would never ever had done this to a little blonde 9 year old girl. They would have treated her like a little princess and gave her ice cream. You know this very well. This racism is sad but reality in the USA. People in the USA are extremely harsh to black people.
She wasn't even violent. They are just annoyed. Being annoyed doesn't give you the right to harm children. And they were there to help the little girl. And they I guess feared for their lives because she was black? Or were they in fear for their lives because she was 9, or maybe because she was under 4 ft tall or maybe because she was 60 lbs? Or the fact there was one of her and 5 of them.
Nine years old girl’s crime: she is black.
Why didn't so.eone just ask what the father's phone number was? Clearly, she was leaving home because of something with her mom. Call dad and see if he can come down and calm the little one. I am from Rochester. I lived on the adjacent street, Avenue A. It's a tough neighborhood to grow up in, and the 8 officers just made it that much worse for the community and especially that little girl.
Exactly. The mom was there, approving all this abuse and stating to the girl she was the one with custody, so the dad couldn’t do anything.
The mom could be abusing the child and the cops never considered it.
I'm sure a 9 year old in handcuffs is capable of endangering an adult!(sarcasm)
I blame the mother, and the 2 cops that pepper sprayed should be fired. They sprayed the girl with mace while in handcuffs then closed the car door with that stuff in the air. She was already in the car just close the door!! What's the purpose of the spray?!?
Compliance. If they don't get their fix of fear and compliance they'll beat it out of you. I'm so glad I'm nowhere near these officers, I'd be tempted. These are the type of officers that need to be cornered in a dark alley and kicked within an inch of their lives, an educational communal bully beat down would start to fix this problem quickly. I know it works, it's happened before and those cops wise up _very_ fast.
@@foxnym Where is that info available?
To mistreat and to dehumanize a black kid. These racists love it.
You have all those officers and not a single one tries to help that child. They are heartless.
Seriously?! Those cop's literally blew the situation out of paporsion. They arrested and paper sprayed a nine year old child for nothing. And even if the child did do something wrong (which I didn't hear anything that she did), the best course of action would have been to take her back to her house and tell the parent('s) or guardian ('s). Nothing more, nothing less. Unless it's a server crime. But, again, inform the parent. She even asked for her father several times and didn't receive her one and only request. These cop's are no better than the criminals on the street.
THEY are led to believe they ARE better than the criminals AND the rest of us .... After THIS BEHAVIOR they get to take a vacation WITH PAY
I taught in inner city schools. I was traumatized to the point if I saw the color of their uniforms or young black kids I had PTSD but this video still made me cry!!!
Disgraceful and heartbreaking!!
Pepper spray. A nine year old girl in handcuffs.
