Nine-year-old black girl begged US police for help after being pepper sprayed

The city of Rochester Thursday released more police body-worn camera footage showing a distraught and dismayed 9-year-old girl being apprehended on Jan. 29, taken to the ground, handcuffed, and then put in the back of a Rochester Police Department police vehicle as she is pepper sprayed and calls out repeatedly for her father.

The incident has garnered international attention, sparked local protests, and emboldened activists and community members to call for immediate police reform. In response, the department suspended one officer with pay and placed two others on administrative leave.

Newly-released footage shows the child struggling in the back of the police vehicle as the pepper spray runs from her eyes and into her mouth. The girl, whom her mother said was making threats to harm herself and her mother, is in the back of the vehicle while police await the arrival of an ambulance.
