Cops Curse Out Witnesses As Mother Pepper Sprayed With Her 3-Year old Child


 Rochester police and their various misdeeds up to and including handcuffing little girls, even pepper-spraying them. Staying faithful to their reputation, the Rochester department of local government is back on the radar again — now for pepper-spraying a mother ahead of her three-year-old child.

On Feb. 22 of this year, Rochester police reportedly received a call about an alleged shoplifter at a Rite Aid. After they felt the scene, they found the accused woman walking along with her three-year-old child.

Body camera video recently released from the incident shows why this department deserves most scrutiny. When the video was released it absolutely was announced that the officer involved has been placed on administrative leave pending an indoor investigation.

As the video shows, the officer stops the girl and her child and rather quickly determines that there's no evidence of shoplifting. However, he then demands she get within the patrol car to further investigate.

“Did you steal from that store,” the officer said while exiting his prowl car, clearly having made up his mind that she had.

“Oh, come on, they said you stole; what did you take?” the officer said again while approaching the girl.

The officer continued to shut up the girl as she tried to inform him she’d done nothing wrong.

“Tell me what you took. Tell me the reality,” the officer said. “Okay — I don’t have time for your B.S.”

Showing that she had nothing to coverthe lady allows the officer to look at her belongings and he finds no such stolen merchandise.

After not finding anything, the officer radios back to the shop in a trial to urge an outline of the alleged stolen items, however, there was nobody.

“Negative, no description,” a dispatcher said reciprocally.

“Nothing, right?” the lady asked, asserting her innocence.

“Yeah,” the officer replied.

“Well, we’ve gotta talk with them to determine,” the officer said before telling the mother to induce into his auto.

“No sir,” she replied.

Apparently petrified of being kidnapped together with her child, the girl made the choice to escape the scene, holding her 3-year-old as she briefly got away.

When officers trapped her, she was pepper-sprayed in her eyes as her child screams in horror. The mother is then taken down and handcuffed.

The woman being thrown to the bottom and pepper-sprayed ahead of her child garnered the eye of bystanders who took to filming the interaction. This further enraged the police.

“F**king get out of here; you’re not helping anything,” one officer said to a bystander who was recording the scene.

When cops curse out people for filming as they assault a mother before of her child, that ought to give a red flag that you just absolutely should be filming them.

Police Chief Cynthia Herriot-Sullivan told reporters on Friday the officer perceived to follow protocol, but “some things to me aren’t as simple as whether a policy was followed or not.”

“Just because we are able to do certain things, doesn’t mean we should always,” she said at a group discussion. “Can we get to the identical place by utilizing a special strategy?”

The answer to it question may be a resounding, yes.

Highlighting the utter gratuitous nature of the employment of force, police found no evidence of shoplifting. Instead, they chose to charge the girl with trespassing.

“These disturbing incidents prove that the Rochester local department must fundamentally change its organizational culture,” the Rochester Police Accountability Board said in a very statement obtained by the Democrat & Chronicle newspaper. “These incidents also affirm our community’s call to fundamentally reimagine public safety.”
