February 1 Recently, an incident in New York State of the United States attracted the attention of the American media: in a family dispute, a 9-year-old girl shouted “wanted her father”, and then was taken by the local police to the police car to spray pepper spray.
According to the New York Post on January 31, the incident occurred in Rochester, New York, on January 29.
A video taken by the police’s portable camera shows a disturbed little girl running away from the police and falling into the snow, and the police tried to pull her back.” I want my father.
I’m not going anywhere. I won’t get in the car until I meet my father,” the girl shouted in the video. “I just want to see my father, please. That’s what I need.”
In the video, a police officer can be heard telling the girl to “stop”, and then a female policeman said that the girl would find her father and let her “enter the police car to warm up”.
After the girl began screaming again, a policeman said, “Sprinkle her now”, while the girl who was attacked by the spray kept shouting “Please wipe my eyes”.
The video was released after a press conference held in Rochester on January 31.
At the press conference, Rochester Deputy Commissioner Anderson said the girl was “suicide prone”.
As can be seen from the video, the girl quarreled with her mother, and then became more and more anxious under her mother’s reprimand.
Regarding the police’s law enforcement behavior, the local police station Changsha Liwen said: “I won’t stand here and tell you that there is nothing wrong with a 9-year-old child being sprayed with pepper spray.
The police will carry out what must be done to ensure that such things do not happen.”
