Officials in Rochester, N.Y., said Tuesday that they expect to release additional police body camera footage involving the officers who handcuffed and pepper-sprayed a 9-year-old girl, a case that is sparking outrage over how law enforcement agencies respond to people who might be having an emotional or mental health episode.
Two videos of the incident were released over the weekend, followed by the suspension of three officers. City spokesman Justin Roj said police officials are in custody of other footage that it hopes to release in the coming days.
