Nine year old the size of an adult!

Her dad is probably the eleven star Chief of Police.

[I got the rope]

There is no excuse for this. That cop needs to be fired.

[heavy metal]

apparently someone called the police for help...

what would the armchair cops on this thread do to handle this situation if they were actually on the scene???...

[Ronaldus Magnus]

• The police didn't know the subject's name or her age at the time of the arrest.
• They arrived in the middle of a violent domestic situation between the subject's parents, both of whom were refusing to leave so that the area could be secured.
• The police officers had a duty to separate the girl from her parents until the type and extent of the of the abuse could be established.
• The girl was wet, cold, and hysterical so the officers were obligated to secure the girl in a safe environment outside of the cold.
• The only way to do that was to get her into a patrol car.
• The subject refused to cooperate and attacked an officer.
• The pepper spray that was used, although painful, shouldn't cause any permanent injury.
• The officers' actions were likely well within the norms of legal and ethical police behavior.
• No one died, no one was paralyzed, and likely no one will be imprisoned.
• Rochester may have widespread riots, violence, and looting because of this incident.
• Only a fool would be a police officer with that kind of political leadership in this kind of political environment.

Either way, she was a kid, was handcuffed. THAT type of action is why the Marxist’s yell get rid of the cops!! These guys have a hard enough job to do then have someone use poor judgment like this. Just take her darn feet and push them in while at the same time, a cop on the other side pulls her across the seat. Hitting her with pepper spray or like thing just gives them ammo against cops. Use better judgment folks. (And this from someone who has a number of sheriff and police in my family. I asked and they say the same thing!!! Use better judgment!!!)

[Bayard]

That entire situation should have not happened that way.

Child was already cuffed and asking for her parent. Its not ok what the cops did there.

Looks like another riot is going to happen in that town.

[willfulknowledge]

Ur an idiot.

[know.your.why]

2 weeks min worth of riots to follow.

[Mr Information]

I thought the cop did reasonably well at first - could have been better, but still reasonably well. If only that had continued, even if it took twice as long, three times as long. If cops can spend hours negotiating with a hostage taker, then they can spend a few more minutes with a traumatized child. Maybe part of the problem is that they spend so much time dealing with violent criminals, that they have difficulty “changing gear” when a softer, gentler approach is called for.

[vespa300]

The cop is talking to the girl like she’s an adult. What an idiot. No sensitivity, no training, no heart, a clear inability to relate to children. And then escalation. Cop needs training.

[CodeJockey]

She’s been taught since she was able to crawl that cops, white cops, are the enemy. She acted just like she was taught too.

Probably listens to rap artists who glorify the killing of cops. I’d expect no less from her.
