Protesters ripped away barricades protecting a Rochester police precinct as hundreds took to the streets in outrage at cops pepper-spraying a 9-year-old girl.
The rally descended on the upstate New York force’s Clinton Section precinct after at least 200 marched through the city late Monday, the Democrat and Chronicle said.
“RPD, look what you did — you just maced a little kid,” many chanted, according to a video from the protest.
A group then lifted up and moved away a chain of barricades left to keep the march a safe distance away — with other footage showing several protesters violently shaking the substation’s main gate once through the barricades

Let me guess....................She was not White-Anglo-Saxon-European extraction..................
I thought unity was supposed to return on Jan 20
Maybe April 29th? 4th Reich? The planet is rip for killing
My very fit 130 lb. teacher wife is physically outmatched by many 3rd graders, several 2nd graders, and the occassional 1st or Kindergartner.
When little Rayshaun is p.o-ed that you took away his iphone, the 180 pounds of unsocialized meanness does become an issue.
Is ANTIFA using kids as shields just like Hamas. Why is a 9 year old there in the first place?
Wait I thought all our underprivileged youts were going to bed hungry every night....
So these are “protesters,” not rioters.
how stupid are these cops?
you pepper spray a 9-year old in handcuffs crying for daddy...
on video...
idiots with badges
This is on Sleepy46. He handled this situation completely wrong.
I counted at least 6 cops unable to get that kid in the car.
cops were responding to a domestic dispute
“Mostly Peaceful”
I just got through posting on another thread about the long siege of BLM/Antifa burning and looting riots without a peep from the Dems including Harris (”It is no longer a protest, it is a movement. and a good movement that should keep on going.” and Biden. Much later, “we condemn violence on all sides.”
Biden said “This is Trump’s America. We need something better.” After his side burned and looted-—not Trump’s side.
I know Rochester NY well
It used to be a very advanced American city, until about the 1950s. Then NY progressives took over, industry, jobs and middle class fled, and the downtown became a ghost-town surrounded by ghetto on three sides. Its main industry now is government, filled with apathetic, lazy employees. I’m surprised cops there even bother to get out of their cars to mace someone.
Apparently the 9 year old was suicidal and threatened to kill herself and her mom. 9 squad cars were called to the scene. The police did everything they could to try to get her in the squad car basically to keep her warm and protect her and her family. She was screaming, resisting them, going to the ground, not following their requests. The cops were probably screwed no matter what. If they wrestled her used physical force, they would call it police brutality. Pepper spray was not the choice they should have made of all the bad options available.
They might as well wait for some unmasked Nuns to exit church and give them the nightstick treatment while tasing them. Make um do the big chicken on camera.
