‘She’s A Child’; Why Rochester Police Pepper-Sprayed A 9-Year-Old Girl
02/01/21 AT 11:04 AM
Upstate New York-area police are defending their actions to use pepper spray on a 9-year-old girl, saying she was threatening to harm herself and others during a family dispute.
Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren expressed outrage after body-cam video showed a member of the Rochester Police Department using pepper spray on the young girl while she was handcuffed in the back of a police car.
“I have a 10-year-old child, so she’s a child, she’s a baby, Warren was quoted by the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle as saying. This video, as a mother, is not anything you want to see.”
