Video shows 9-year-old girl at NYC cops

Recently released bodycam videos show Rochester cops spraying pepper on a 9-year-old girl in upstate New York.

Footage from a video shot during a family dispute on Friday shows the distraught young girl fleeing from police, then dropping to the snowy ground as a cop tries to bring her back.

“I want my dad,” the girl yells in a second video. “I’m not going anywhere. I want my dad… I’m not going to get in any car until I see my dad. “

“Stop,” said an officer.

“Wait, can I just please remove the snow from me,” she shouts. “I want my dad. Wait, I just wanna see my dad, please. For the last time…. I ask.”

“Stop it or you’ll get hurt,” replies a cop at one point during the long ordeal.

A policewoman is heard telling the girl that she will find her father, but asks her to get into the police car to stay warm – only for the girl to start screaming again.

“Just spray her at this point,” a cop finally says, and we see him spraying the girl.

“Please wipe my eyes,” the girl yells. “Wipe my eyes, please.”

The footage was released on Sunday after a city press conference, in which Rochester Deputy Police Chief Andre Anderson said the girl was suicidal.

“She indicated that she wanted to kill herself and that she wanted to kill her mother,” he said, according to a Democrat & Chronicle article.

Nine police cars responded to the call, police said.

The girl’s mother, who also has not been identified, is seen in the footage arguing with her daughter, who becomes increasingly agitated as her mother berates her.

The woman is also seen cursing passing motorists.

“I’m not going to stay here and tell you that for a 9-year-old it’s okay to get pepper sprayed,” Police Chief Cynthia Herriott-Sullivan said on Sunday. “It’s not.”

“I don’t see this for what we are as a department,” the chief said. “And we’re going to do the work that we need to do to make sure that stuff doesn’t happen.”

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren said she was disturbed by the video.

“I am very concerned with the way this young girl was treated by our police department,” Warren said at the press conference. “It is clear from the video that we need to do more to support our children and families.”
